    See ya’ll in Chi-town Friday night…

    oh yeah, I checked StubHub…
    SRO – $1,800 each…, not including a trip to Burghoffs, just off the corner of State and Adams, travel and the hotel…

    Money aside, that still might be a deal…

    and fwiw… there’s a reason or two, Smoltzy is in the broadcast booth and not on the bench….

    If it goes seven the Indians will win. The Cubs have to win game three. Just my thoughts.

    “Klubot” is absolutely a craftsman on the mound. He has so much in is quiver. The Cubs will face him at least one more time(Game 4?). If it goes seven then again in that game. Don’t know if they have an answer for him. That said seeing a pitcher that often eventually the tide changes.

    That said seeing a pitcher that often eventually changes everything the tide changes.

    As a rule, batters are must quicker to “adjust” than pitchers…

    Think about it… a MLB batter will see what 50-60 pitchers in a season…
    The Pitchers have 3-4 good pitches and throw them all to everybody.

    Wrigley seems amazing tonight! How frigging fun it would be to actually be there. Heard the cheapest tickets were $2000/seat though as of last night.

    Was talking with my freight broker today…

    He tells me… His house is across the street from Wrigley..
    He grew up on the Southside and is a ChiSox fan…
    He’s at his Inlaws tonight.
    Imagine that.

    I’da sent the wife and kids to the Inlaws and had a “House Party”…
    $5 a beer — $10 a shot plus music….

    Nice play by Hendricks to save a run. Look what I found?

    I GOTT
    Wrigley
    Fenway
    Yankee Stadium, but I haven’t been there since the last renovation… so idk..

    IVY League is doing his part, BUT he needs some runs…

    Cubs are doing the impossible to keep the Indians off of home plate….

    GOTT to get some runs…

    Cubs are hanging in there. Getting to the bullpen obviously favors the Tribe. Miller is really setting his career in motion. He has trudged his way to get there, injury and all.

    Never thought we’d see a 1=0 game tonight.
    Hats off to the Tribe.

    Wolfpack Football at 12:30…
    we’ll do better that this.

    Some folks like Ford. Some like Chevrolet….it you are part of the Deplorables…you might also like Ram.

    I have never been a real MLB fan….but I have been to Fenway. That is unreal. It is like BB should be.

    My prediction was that the Cubs will take the series. However, in view of the events of around 1:00 PM today, that may be in doubt. The Bag Lady’s Blackberry done been “subpeoned”…..I say CONFISCATED by the FBI. What evil is in it….I am NOT a liberty to divulge. However, it did move a certain high ranking official in the FBI to “reopen” his “Closed…(Wink, Wink…) investigation. The political intrigue of an Ex Republican State Senator from GA, who defended some companies for “neferious” accounting procedures and other “Big Boy W$ Feces Shenanigans”….and who, eventually, became the FBI Director for two of the most (Personal opinion….and that goes way back to the Nixon days) corrupt US Attorney Generals in the history of the office is what makes our system so unique.

    NOW, since a certain candidate wanted her Cubs to WIN….so she could capture Joe Six Pack’s vote and be “One of the boys”….was already a DONE deal. BUT, Humorous Aid&Abet, done got her personal emails exposed….sort of poetic justice. I wonder if her estranged (and he really is a bit strange) husband, Mr. Oscar Meyer Weiner was SEXTING the 15 YO daughter of a fellow Deplorable. I’m betting on that.

    You only have to have one MORE run than the other team to win. I thought that the Cubbies were going to pull it off….even brought in BILL MURRAY to lead the singing. NOPE, not the way the script was rewritten, very hastily, this afternoon.

    Each team got a road win….so tomorrow night, the REAL pressure is on the Cubbies (or whenever they play again). Probably go 4 & 2….but “you never know”….

    I don’t care for either team, but that was an excellent game.

    BOTB,

    Will the “curse” of Valvano come to CF tomorrow? The hapless (as in the fans are UNHAPPY with LESS WINS) Canes won, finally, tonight. SO, maybe the Curse of JV will be in Time Out for a while. Gonna be there….in shorts, no less. NOW, will the cameras keep zooming in on me like an ample chested blonde NCSU fan wearing an XS thin T when she should have an XL, don’t know….

    GO PACK….time for the REAL Stuffed and Roasted Eagle banquet.
