I expect those tickets to be useless. Especially after the next three games in the Metrodome.
And as for the Cubs fans...if my memory serves me right, twice in the last year, someone has been attacked on the field by White Sox fans. Major ass clowns if you ask me. And hardly anyone goes to the sox games anyway.
i agree. I went to three Cardinals games this year. Cards at Boston (6/12) - resulted in a win, then later that week I saw Clemens beat the Cards and K renteria for #4000 and win #300 and then I saw them lose to the hands of the Mutts in August. The Mets lose (11-5) was tough to swollow. Too bad I wont get to see the Cards play the BoSox or Yanks for a few more years...
Just going to have to retool for next year. Get rid of tomko, the worst acquisition ever made, maybe Brantley for Dmitri Young was worse. Cutting Levine wasnt smart either.
ANY pitching for Drew would have been lovely....
Oh well. I'm rooting for the Red Sox the rest of the year. I'm going to see them tonight, El Pedro is pitching... against Tampa.
Yeah, I knew when I got the tickets that they would be useless....As for the half price white trash pepsi Tuesdays that inspire rejects to beat people....I just can't say. Drunk people do stupid things. Like I said, I'm a Cubs fan but I bear no ill will towards the Sox. They're not in my division so I don't care.
As for attending Cubs games...If you sit anywhere near the outfield you'll know what I mean about ass clowns. A lot of those people aren't there to watch baseball, they are there to get wasted and party. They don't know who's pitching, they don't know the score, they can't name more than 3 guys on the team and most of the time they don't know who is pitching.
*sigh* Not all fans are like this but the ones that are really ruin the game....I'm all for having a good time but I don't want beer spilled on me and I don't want to see drunk girls flash drunk guys.
I think I'm going to start rooting for Oakland. Gotta love Barry Zito.
I can only speak on experience...I haven't been to any Philly games...but you may have a good point.
Two stories:
Growing up, I went to Jets games with my dad. What was going on on the field was NEVER interesting (in the eighties). I would grab the binoclars, and search the seats for globs of yellow security jackets...often indicating a fight. I found one one day, and was able to focus on the two fans swinging at each other and rolling down the seats/rows...two women. Nice. And that only scratches the surface.
Other story...my mom's best friend was a die-hard Mets fans, despite growing up in the Bronx. We would go to Mets games (never very crowded). We had a couple siting near us at an afternoon game. His feet were stretched across her lap...and she was clipping his toenails. Nevermind the drunk folks around us, yelling every obscenity they possible could at the visitng team.
Yankee Stadium was an awful expierence, albeit amusing for me, when I saw Clemens 300th Victory....
since I am a Cards fan, I had my Cardinals cap on, and this totally drunk guy in front of me kept telling me to suck his dick, go back to st louis, pujols sucks (hah!), etc etc etc, and there was a family of 4 with two little kids next to him. (Im only 16 fyi)
In any event, the point is itll happen at every city..
damn this is so fun. the city is going nuts. i am LOVING it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i love dusty baker.
my brother somehow managed to get into the actual team party. i have no idea how the hell he did that, nor did he, but i had drunk messages on my voicemail last night with him screaming things like, "i'm partying with sammy sosa! moises alou is a damn pimp!" i talked to him later and he was out of his mind.
i seriously cannot believe how fun this is. last night was just insane. this just does not happen here. i was 12 the last time the cubs won their division. thank you milwaukee.
I was born in Anaheim
I grew up 15 miles from Yankee Stadium
Moved to Minnesota in the Fall of 1991 (Twins Win)
and now just moved to Central Illinois..yet have been going to Cubs games ever since I can remember.
