No way in hell that'd real

 

There are a lot like that (well not $200 but closer to 500-600)

 

I've been in the shoes before of having to dump tickets to a high demand game. I bought tickets to the Rockies WS back in 07 to sell them. I denied offers of 4k for 4 tickets (had a combined face of 1k) because i saw similar seats selling for 6k. Finally the prices plunged and I just wanted to get rid of them. Ended up selling for $2500. Some people start panicking when game time approaches and just want to get whatever they can for them.

 

I agree the $199 for 1 SRO ticket is probably fake but I think you can get in the door for $500 if you are smart.

I am dumb, how does one be "smart"

 

In this specific scenario, don't fall for obvious scams like sellers who ask for you to Venmo the money before they email you the ticket, etc.

This is the most excited/anxious I've been for a game all postseason. Not that I haven't been enjoying it tremendously but now I feel like it's finally real that the WS is being played in Wrigley

Do you think my wife would notice $1,000 missing from our checking account?

 

Edit: Also me not coming home tonight?

 

If you got $2,000, take her with you. I don't know what to tell you if you've got kids to deal with, though.

Interesting thing about Tomlin. He had a terrible August and temporarily got booted from the rotation until the Salazar injury put him back in. During that brief time in the pen, he worked with the Indians coaches on a couple of specific adjustments to his pitching. Since he was put back into the rotation, he's had 6 starts, pitching 36.1 innings and allowing just 8 ER (1.98 ERA). He attributes his success to the adjustments made.

 

But I don't think a lot of that will matter with the donging conditions in the air tonight.

and he's got his paralyzed dad in the stands, we're doomed.

 

I dunno. I know I have a tendency to get in my head a bit when doing a show in front of my folks. Once I was Dotty in "Noises Off," my b/f sits right in the damn front row where I made my first entrance. I got through the opening monologue, but there were times during Act 1 that felt a little out-of-body.

Is the Stubhub policy of stopping sales 6 hours before a game a new thing. I know in the past they sold until 30 minutes after a game starts

 

I actually think it depends on the individual team

 

It does. It's a Cubs rule.

 

Can't have StubHub competing with the Cubs' own secondary ticket selling

Santana in LF after only playing 4 innings in the outfield his professional career is really gonna be a treat

 

There's a good chance it'll be hilarious, but Francona is smart to put him out there. The benefit of his bat outweighs the likelihood that this is a close game decided by the quality of the Indians LF.

not even close. Soler is an OF. Santana is a bad first baseman.

if you had the option of a future where the cubs took 2 of 3 in wrigley, would you take it?

 

For sure

 

IF they also take one of the last two in Cleveland, of course.
