They provide a great service..i don't think in the history of bars in a 2 block area will bars make more money than this weekend..

and if people are going to pay it i suppose then the issue is mute and it will be good money for those working....i was thinking about going up there just to take in the environment but not if i have to pay 45 bucks just to talk in the door

I think some outside Chicago forget, or don't understand how wealthy some folks are here. These bars will have zero problem packing people in at these prices. If I had the money I would do it in a heartbeat. This will be unlike anything the north side has ever been part of....

Here's a bar right down the street from Wrigley. Just next door to the Metro club. They are not charging cover. It is a GREAT bar.
If my in-laws weren't coming into town this weekend I sure as shit would've been there. But maybe not...as I am a Sox fan!

The game is on FREE TV. People are morons if they pay this to watch a tv. Glad i paid less than that for a ticket to actually go to game 3 and game 5. The greed/exploitation of people truly disgusts me.

I just read that Murphy's isn't charging a cover. I bet the line starts at 11 am. Either way, still not as bad as the Wrigley PJ merch line. I'll be in it. Rolling into town at 10 am Saturday. Can't wait.

I'm so pumped for this weekend, but of course everything at work has decided to pile up on me at the last minute haha. This weekend will be a much needed escape from reality. Hopefully culminating with the party of a lifetime on Sunday night.

Not everyone is in the same situation you're in The hottest ticket ever in Chicago fell in your lap. People want to be part of this, no matter cost. Watching at home will be nowhere near the experience of watching it a block away. I see no wrong in business owners in Chicago making a buck on this ride. God knows the city has screwed them out of every tax dollar possible. Good for them, nobody is forcing people into the bars.

Damn... No Schwarber in the field for games 3-5. Only cleared to pinch hit.

It seems that running the bases would be more of a rush than playing the field. Makes no sense.

I disagree. Running the bases is a more deliberate act. In the outfield with the grass, much easier to slip. As much as I want his bat for 4 plate appearances in the next 3 games, I want it for 500 next year. And the year after. He's enough of a threat to pinch hit at this point. That is absolutely going to affect the next 3 games.

darwinstheory

That's okay...Schwarber for 4 out of 7 complete ges and used once in each if the remaining 3 games is more Schwarber than we ever thought we see as of 2 weeks ago. I'll take it.

Malroth

Who's going to Chicago? what's your plan?

darwinstheory

Me...hookers and cocaine while dressed as a clown!!!! Sorry.

I'll be there. Hoping to be at Murphy's.

Just had a couple of people message me about Murphy's on Saturday. I plan on getting there between 11 and noon. Talked to a buddy of mine who was having a couple beverages there last night. He said there were a ton of people around the ballpark last night. He used the number 300K. He also said if you're there early, like I plan to be, he doesn't see a problem getting in. All that said, with Murphy's being one of the few not charging a cover, I expect it to be ridiculous. On the off chance that it's not, I'll do my best to secure a table or some sort of standing room near a table for those that are there early enough to walk in and meet up. When I get in and settled, I'll post a pic of where I'm at and hopefully you'll be able to find me.
