5/8 Braves (Delgado) @ Cubs (Dempster) WGN 7:05 PM

[KingCubsFan]

There were 0 bleacher tickets available on stubhub this morning, after there were ~500 available yesterday. I'm intrigued as to what happened there. Ambitious broker trying to make 5-10 on each one? But then why buy all the way up to the most expensive tickets? (Cheapest tickets yesterday bounced from 8-15 bucks)

 

500 were available for yesterday's game or available yesterday for today's game?

 

Both. I check out the prices for fun fairly often, there is literally never a point where there are 0 tickets available for the bleachers. It didn't take long for a few cheap sets to pop up, followed by a market correction, and now you have 8 tickets going for $50-99, while all other seats stay around the cost that yesterday's were going for.

I put mine up last night and they were gone within 5 minutes. I think your broker theory might be right.

Demp is getting squeezed.

I love LaHair's approach at the plate.

I love LaHair's approach at the plate.

Aside from the contact rate, and the K rate, it's a fantastic approach.

[CincyCubsFan]

Damn.

Right.

I love our defensive positioning.

And Soriano's new defense.

CM Punk threw out the first pitch?

 

Pro Wrestling is now officially on-topic. Anyone else think another Cena-Punk feud would carry us through an otherwise boring summer? I know it's been done recently, but those guys are so good they could make it fun.

[Magnetic Curses]

no

[Schwarber Fan]

can't hit that changeup

[Hairyducked Idiot]

no

 

Who else is left for Cena? Although I did hear he was going to take some time off. I know everyone wants to see Punk-Bryan, but I'm just not as sold on that as most.

 

Also, the offense needs to not be told it's Dempster starting. Though it's not entirely their fault, Delgado has a wicked changeup tonight.

They're basically the Hip-Hop and the Pop Punk versions of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Punk is, but Cena is filling the Hogan role. Personally, It's basically a kids' show, you need a generic good guy.

 

Unrelated: DeJesus has an amazingly accurate arm.
