    WGN was there so that is part of the reason, so assume it may clear out a bit and everyone isn't drinking for 12 hours before the game.

    Mike and Mike were at cubby bear this morning as well. I'm sure that brought in a good size early crowd.

    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.
    Thanks so much man. We won't be getting into town until around 12:30 and once we get to the hotel and then down to Wrigleyville it'll probably be 2pm... I'm not holding my breath but if you're somehow able to lock down a spot and we're able to get there, I'll be eternally grateful.

    Bill Murray will be singing during the 7th inning stretch tonight. Hopefully fox will air it. I'd be willing to bet eddie gets asked to do this for games 2 or 3.

    Over or Under '100' on the number of people who enjoyed themselves all day a little more than intended with all of the excitement and end up passing out before the game tonight?
    I hope under but gotta go with over.

    Yah, the umpiring is for sure "better" if you are a Cubs fan.
    That Bill Murray seventh inning stretch was great. EV has something to try and top if he is asked to do it.

    Truly amazing/unbelievable experience. Best atmosphere I've ever seen for a sporting event. Insanely intense game. Ending just stunk.

    Night was not a total loss. Seats were twoards the back of the lower level where if you looked up you could see the catwalk right behind the suites. During one of the pitching changes my wife starts hitting me and yelling my name while pointing to the catwalk. Sure as shit who's walking by, Eddie, probably going to Theo's suite. We both screamed Eddie, he stopped for a second, looked at both of us, raised his arm up and smiled. Amazing moment among many tonight that I'll never forget. Hope to beat em tomorrow so when Im lucky enough to go back Sunday Cubs can hopefully go up 3 - 2.

    I thought it was terrible. The man is sad and tries too hard

    And the fallout boy national anthem was bad too
