Rowand44

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) It'll be like that ESPN commercial...where someone is always going after the trophy (I think thats what they were going after). So Rowand will whack someone and say he's got tix, we'll all find him and it continues until the lucky person finds his way into the gates Pssh, if I die those tickets are coming with me.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) I suggest finding someone you know with tix, and killing them. Its pretty simple. That's been my backup plan all along.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) Actually I'd say this is why in some cases, it's better to serve up a meatball to a guy and let him see if he can hit it than it is to walk a guy. You better throw a meatball when the go ahead run on deck is albert pujols.....whoops.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) How many minutes do you keep trying? I'm sure this thing will be sold out within 10 minutes. The alcs tickets sold out in like 40 minutes or so, I'm sure this will be much quicker.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) I've got so many people working for me, I feel like a damn ticket broker. Ditto, that being said I still know I won't get anything cause life hates me.

To answer the title of this thread: Both and neither. If we play the way we did in the alds and alcs we're going to win this thing but if we play bad baseball we're going to lose to either.

IMO, this deal makes a lot of sense for next year however doesn't make to much sense for the series. This deal is basically a ticket brokers dream considering they can basically get their money back by selling one ticket, that being said now cub fans and more people who have a lot of money and just really never gave a s*** about this team are going to be at the games even moreso then the alcs. More diehards are going to be screwed and alas the stadium is going to be much quieter and give us less of a homefield advantage. People were complaining about the noise for the alcs and there's a good chance it could be worse this time around. That's the thing that bugs me about this whole thing. But hopefully I'm wrong.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:44 AM) Well I've been away from Soxtalk for a week That week went by far to quick.

He's good.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) The Astro's have been over-using Lidge so much you have to expect him to hang one..... they over-used him in the playoffs last year and doing the same thing this one. 2 innings in game 2 1 inning in game 3 1 inning in game 4 and 1 inning in game 5 Where I come from you dont use a RP in 4 straight games? And in game 2 there was no reason for him to go the 8th they had a 3 run lead and the entire bullpen was open to use. I agree with what you're saying but he hasn't looked sharp this whole series. He's been a bit shaky every game he's been in and then whoops....not a smart idea to hang a slider to the best hitter in the game.

See....this is why you don't use bullpens.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) I don't know why, but that made me laugh. QUOTE(southsider17 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) Me too. Add me to that list. I just started laughing the second Albert hit it, that guy is just unbelievable...though Lidge couldn't have been nicer with the pitch he threw.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) I am seriously considering a purchase.....and that is not a good thing I'm short of breath...sweating mildly...this is perhaps the toughest decision of my life to this point. Tell me about it, I wouldn't even be the one to purchase this and I'm nervous as hell right now, cause I have no clue what is going on.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) Haha, ya I know I know, add that post to the long list of my retarded ones.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) Check the first post in this thread. Uh...ya about that.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) If its for season seats, a Sox ticket rep. Ok, who's got the number for a ticket rep.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) Haha, its all gonna be for naught cause were gonna get those damn world series tix tomorrow. Soxtalk is gonna get lucky I sure hope so. All of us deserve to go.

Ok, here comes another dumb question, what number should I call tomorrow? Should I call the ticketmaster number or a sox ticket rep?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) I'd deposit a decent amount to the fund if I were entitled to a Cubs game or so, a weekend series of some sort, and a world series game. LOL, probably shouldn't have said anything considering I control nothing right now, it's all what my dad decides to do at this point.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) Man, if only I lived in Chicago. I'd bo so down for that deal. Its sweet for a diehard fan and gives you an awesome shot to get out to a ton of games next year. If you want to deposit some money to the rowand44 fund, I'll go in your honor.

I assume no ticket rep will be around right now, so my dad is going to call in the morning at around 10 to find out the freakin deal.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) I'm still reading 1 per game. If that's the case, it's not such a bad deal. That's what I'm seeing too. FYI, not that this means anything but some guy on wsi did buy 2 season tickets and get 2 world series tickets for EACH game.

I'm so confused.

So wait wait wait guys. If I purchased 1 season ticket I'd be able to get 1 world series ticket per game?
