Was that a furball? Do bears suffer from them?

Where are your seats? Good luck.

Where are your seats? Good luck.

Upper deck again, 5th row behind the visitor dugout.

After two games last week I lost my voice for three days.

Worth it.

You won't have to trash talk the fuckin' Brewers as loud from there.

2 series going to 5 games. Will the Cubs be among the 11% who win after being down 2 games? Fingers crossed. Congrats, GCG, you're their lucky charm this year. If they lose Game 5 . . .

Give us a post before you go to bed.

It was incredible.

Don't know if it came through on TV, they tend to quiet the crowd noise.

You were the 10th player! Good job.

They mostly turned the mikes away from the crowd. For example, I never heard "FRED-DY." They did feature the singing at the end, it's inspiring.

Will you go to NLCS game/s? If the Cubs make it to the WS I'll be in a quandary. If not, GO AL!

Depends if we hit the lottery again, we're 2 fer 2 so far. After market tickets are probably gonna be $$.

Game 5 tickets in Milwaukee start at $200 for SRO.

There should be no quandary.

GoCubsGo!

Edit:

Just checked after market NLCS tickets.

Ouch.

Even the very cheapest, $527, would be too rich for my blood. $200 for an away game would be iffy, but there's the guaranteed Game 5 drama . Gonna be loud in Seattle tonight, 8:08 PM EDT FOX.

How does this work with a lottery yet to come but after market tix are already on sale?

No quandary for you, which is fine, but I like all 3 of the remaining AL teams for different reasons. Until then, Cubs > Brewers > LA.

[GoCubsGo]

How does this work with a lottery yet to come but after market tix are already on sale?

Season ticket holders already have their tickets and can resell. For the general public there is a lottery you enter by email and hope to get picked before the remaining tix go on sale to the general public.

If you get picked for the lottery you are supposed to be able to buy four tickets for each game, we've never actually gotten more than two. I was talking with my seat neighbors last night and they said the same thing.


Not that I'm superstitious or anything , but I've gotten a Chicago dog at the same stand overlooking Clark and Addison before every game.

Thanks. Why don't the season ticket holders get banned for scalping?

Think it's a secret rule? Or, maybe it's variable depending on demand.

I'll try anything, but looks busy to me. Give me a chili-cheese dog, or one with mustard, onion and relish.

Not that I'm superstitious or anything , but I'm betting on game you attend. You're my rabbit's foot Chicago dog.
