i am not spending one dime on cubs tickets this year.....not one fucking dime...

ill go camping...fishing....hang out at the pool.....and maybe even hit a couple pearl jam shows later in the year....

but the chicago cubs will not see one fucking penny of my money......................

That's how I am with the Cardinals, Speedy. Ownership is taking the fan base for a bunch of suckers and just expecting us to show up and they'll hit three million again. They are probably right because season ticket holders didn't dump their tickets this year because they want All Star tickets. Next year though, if the owners keep going cheap on the payroll and players, they will really take a hit at the gate.

when the cost of 2 decent tickets to a ballgame is equivalent to 2 weeks worth of groceries.....i have to say "fuck baseball!!!"

Yeah, I don't blame ya'. The ticket prices are outrageous!
I'll probably go to one game at Wrigley this year (can't go a whole year without going to at least one game. Been like 20 years straight for me) and then the Cubs games here in Arizona when they are playing the Dbacks.
If I was still living in Chicago, I'm pretty sure I'd pick one game to go to just to keep my streak alive, but beyond that no way!
Two tickets + a couple beers + some food at the game = Waaaaaay too f'n much!

I see Lou is considering moving Soriano in the lineup this year. About f'n time Lou!!!

My god, Soriano is fast but when you have a .353 OBP you should under no circumstance be hitting leadoff.

We'll see I guess...

Opening Day

Sat Cle
Thur 7/2 MIL
Fri 7/10 Cards
Wed 9/16 MIL
Thur 9/17 MIL
Sat 10/3 AZ

Hoping I can get some Sox tickets for the Thur 6/18 game as a birthday present.

I bought 5 games and found it easy this year compared to the last few.

I split season tickets with 3 other guys so I feel the need to buy some games that i really want to go to in case I dont get them in our ticket draft.

I got the Fri and Sat Met games for my Birthday weekend. Bleachers for the Firday which I am now regretting.
July 11th Cards
June 20th Cleveland
Sept 16 Milw

Everything is in the UD Reserved except for those $60 Bleacher tickets. Not sure what I was thinking when I bought those.

So Marmol is going to pitch in the WBC now. Anyone else not happy about this. If this is truly going to be his first year as our closer, I want him in our camp pitching for our team (we pay him) not his country. I think the WBC isn't the worst idea, but having it in March is a bad idea. Have it in Nov. after the season is over.

I tend to agree. I like the idea of the WBC, but having it in March is beyond dumb. Have it anytime from November to early Feb. That way, guys will have a chance to stay sharp during the offseason and heal any nagging injuries they sustain during the tourney before the season starts.

I just hope the US plays at least a fraction better than they did last time. Kinda sucks that there are sooo many quality US players who opted out of it for spring training. Can't say that I blame them, but if it was held earlier I'd imagine the US would be able to put forth a much more solid team.

Your Cubs are playing the Sox tonight in my town....nasty night for it....the wind's blowing like 40 mph. :x

P.S. who is this Len Kaspar dweeb?

mca47

I've got spring training tix for 3/20 and tix agains the D-backs (2 of 3 games in April here in AZ).

Can't wait!!

Gotta find a game to go to at Wrigley this year. Been 20+ years straight.

pureoc

Well at least Marmol will be back in Cubs camp shortly after the Dominican's loss to the Netherlands. Although let's hope the way he pitched in that game last night is not the way he's gonna pitch for us.
