It was absolutely nuts. Somehow the crowd just kept getting louder and louder. In the 9th Melky was getting the crowd fired up. After the first out in the inning, he was putting 2 fingers in the air, like a peace sign to the crowd in RF and the bleacher creatures. After the 2nd out, he did it again, raising his index finger. The crowd went nuts for it and there was a full on Melky chant until he acknowledged it with one out to go. After the last out people were shaking up bottles of soda and beer and spraying in the crowd. It was so intense in the 9th. You could feel it shaking. You had to scream to say something to the guy next to you. Swine Flu be damned, everyone is high fiving each other. Then while walking out back in the concourse and right outside on the street, guys are being lifted up and screaming.
A friend of mine took some pictures and I'll try and post them here. I took some on my phone but they were pretty crappy quality. -Jitpal
