    starting an opener in a lot of cases becomes a scheduled loss, same thing happened to the Yankees Friday when they opened with Ian Hamilton.

    Went to the game last night, beautiful night. Cubs still suck. 0-2 for me this year. Could spend my $300 in a much better way.

    Im not cheap, at least I don't think I am. But I have my limits. And major league baseball has just about priced me out. I did Wrigley last month and like you it was over $300 before the day was done. 

    A fucking day at the ballpark shouldn't break the bank.

    fell two wins shy of their longest winning streak ever, the 13-game streak to open the 1987 season.

    I am not sitting 10th row.
    1st time I ever had issues with stubhub. 

    Oh well, i will either get a refund or they will send me different tickets. Either way Im OK. Its going to be about 105 degrees at Wrigley today. I could easily pass and go to the pool instead.

    So, the whole ticket debacle.

    I went on stubhub and picked up 2 tickets, 8th row, directly behind home plate for $90 each. Crazy bargain for those seats. Of course it was too good to be true, and the tickets were never transferred to me. But I give stubhub credit. They stuck to their policy and reimbursed me with comparable tickets. My wife and I have gone to 50 or so Cub games. NEVER had we had seats like that!

    I've found recently tickpick is a better option for buyers on the secondary market since they don't charge fees for buyers.

    Another cool thing about Wrigley yesterday.
    The organist was playing Ozzy/Sabbath throughout the entire game.
