playing as in LF or playing as an AB as a PH? He has not been cleared to play the OF.

I'm not going to get any work done on Friday.

 

Flying out to Chicago in the morning. It is going to be like a pilgrimage this weekend.

 

I will be looking to get a single ticket Sat and Sunday. Like the Deadheads say "Need a miracle"

Me neither, because I took the day off - what's your excuse? :wink: :lol:

 

All Saint's is a public holiday in Belgium, and the office is closed on monday, so I'm not due back 'till wednesday. Plenty of time for elaborate celebrations, I guess. So get it done, Cubbies.

 

For Fred !!

Gotta say I'm the loving the vibe in this game thread and the wind will aid us today ... I mean it has to right? This is like the perfect conditions for our hitters to launch dong after glorious dong tonight. I predict we win tonight 8-3. Hendricks will be fine. Tomlin, not so much :-)

 

*Sidenote or annoyance: Does anyone else see these stupid ads and banners talking about Trump and Rauner Republicans? I mean I'm following the election and I intend on voting and it's pretty obvious who is going to win at this point. We don't have to worry about that theoretical scenario of choosing between a Trump Presidency and the Cubs Going All The WAY, or well, you know the alternative. Anyway, I just wanna come to this site to escape from this awful, shitty election...

I want to go down there for one of the games just to soak up the atmosphere but I'm not ready to wait 3 hours in line nor pay $500 in cover fee to go into a bar. Hoping the bars on Southport or points south/west of the park aren't ridiculous.

I'm in Logan Square and I've been doing the games at Easy Bar on Division & Damen. Stroll in around game time and grab a table. Super chill, 2 minute wait for drinks.

 

Seems like if you wanted to get the Wrigleyville madhouse experience after the game you could do it while still finding a lower key place for the game. The bar still goes nuts when good stuff happens, but people generally haven't been drinking for 8 hours when the game starts so probably a bit less raucous.

 

Also probably less of a novelty but you won't spend your day in a line outside or at the bar waiting for your drink. The Cubs are in the World Series so I won't say that craziness isn't worth it but thought I'd give an eye witness account of what the bars are like west of the highway.

Yeah, for last weekend I met soccer10k at a bar on Southport after scoping out the scene near the park and the horrible lines. There was a short line at the bar but it wasn't all that bad. And it was close enough to the park that we walked down to Wrigley in the 8th and were there for the final outs. I'm hoping for something like that this weekend but I'm guessing even Southport will be a madhouse. It's worth the effort though, been waiting my whole life to be around a World Series at Wrigley.
