  1. Any realistic option for a dude willing to drink and pony up, but with a teenage son coming along who obviously doesn't drink? Would any of these places allow underage patrons? Otherwise, care to give me a good recommendation on a "family friendly" joint close by? Landed here yesterday. The calm before the storm is eerie. Most(All?) of the bars immediately around Wrigley are going to be 21+ only. I'd give D'Agostino's a call. Just a few blocks down from the stadium. Pizza place, but they're pretty Cub-centric. Should be a decent atmosphere.
  2. For those not aware, the Wrigleyville bars that don't charge covers are going to be madhouses, and if you want to get in(not get a table, but get in), I'd suggest 2 PM Friday, and 10 AM Saturday. If you wanna go somewhere like Murphy's, and they don't charge cover(Unless you're looking to get on TV, don't reccommend), I legit wouldn't feel confident unless I was lined up by 8 AM.
  3. I love 400s, but 500s IF is the better option. My sister had those for game 6, and her view was pretty great.
  4. After spending the weekend in Jersey I have decided: EWR is such a bad airport. Makes ORD look like the Taj Mahal. Ever been to LGA?
  5. The whole, "there were almost no arrests, so nothing really happened!" narrative is pretty hilarious; basically the cops just couldn't even get to most of the horsefeathers going down: http://www.cwbchicago.com/2016/10/cubs-win-hampered-by-crowd-cops-only.html i actually laughed out loud at this sequence of entries: i was down there and it didn't feel unsafe or out of control at all. the dummies were highly visible and easy to avoid Did you wind up making it to a bar for the game?
  6. Well, Lackey would be unavailable in Game 5. I don't know if they've codified it, but commissioner's discretion is there for a reason, they would not let Lackey be replaced.
  7. The base he hit it to is whatever you want it to be.
  8. game starts in 5 minutes I hope when he hits a beautiful massive dong in his first AB he hits home plate, packs his horsefeathers and heads to Skyharbor for his flight to Cleveland. Doesn't even round the bases, just bat flips and walks to the dugout.
  9. http://www.awn.com/oscars01/images/rejected004.gif
  10. Yeah. I mean the downside is he goes 0-3 or 0-4 or something instead of what Coghlan or maybe Soler vs. a righty would've done. The downside would be him trying to run the bases and aggravating the newly reconstructed knee. In which case we only win the Central by 12 games next year?
  11. Does the Replay ump jump the line? no idea how it works other than how they referenced that somebody who was in the booth was on the field for game 6 and that angel h went from HP to RF. Ted Barrett worked RF game 1, and was HP for game 6. Paul Nauert worked HP game 1, and swapped spots with Bill Welke as replay ump at some point. So West would work HP game 6, Holobrook game 7.
  12. TT, tell us how Schwarber definitively will not be WS MVP.
  13. Cabs and ubers postgame are a complete non-starter. If you walk about a mile, mile and a half, south you can probably find a cab. Ubers are going to be astronomical. If you're taking the train, walk north to Sheridan, Addison will be a mess. The lottery goes for all serieses. ETA: Stay away from Clark, Addison, Halsted, or Sheffield when possible.
  14. Which way do they rotate? In other words, will West be behind the plate at any time in the series? Angel Hernandez went from behind the plate to RF, so if that holds he's at the end of the line and available behind the plate for game 7. Does the Replay ump jump the line?
  15. I don't think you'll be adding any sets or upgrading. Like 3 people gave up their tickets after last year, and I think they died. Why not sell game 3 instead?
  16. He is on the 40. He went on the 60d DL but that just opens an exemption for 41 And I'm 99% sure you don't have to be on the 40 anymore, just in the org.
  17. Even if you could just swap whover out with phantom injuries, and you didn't have to replace them from the same position(Pitcher or Position Player) Why would anyone ever want to voluntarily start Jason Hammel in the World Series.
  18. Their bullpen was shot from going 8.1 on Monday. They couldn't afford back to back pen games.
