If I buy the tickets to Print at Home, do I have to print them out right then or does it send me an email with a link, so I can print it out at a friend's house or something later? Any help would be great. you can print them later. good luck

QUOTE(valponick @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 02:29 AM) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Autq...=yhoo&type=lgns All for one By Ryne Sandberg, Yahoo! Sports October 17, 2005 Ryne Sandberg Yahoo! Sports Exclusive There may be some Chicago Cubs fans on the North Side who will lose their minds from reading this, but I'm happy for Ozzie Guillen and the Chicago White Sox. Sorry Northsiders, but I will be rooting for the White Sox in the World Series. And I'm telling all Cubs fans that it is OK to root for them. Here are three good reasons why you should: 1. They play the game right. If you haven't noticed, the White Sox play hard and they do many things well. First of all, their lineup doesn't have many holes, so Ozzie is able to bunt and hit-and-run at any point in the batting order. The White Sox play an NL-type of ball that I love. They pitch well, they have recently played good defense and they're playing with a lot of passion. They're also fun to watch right now. Give them a chance. ADVERTISEMENT 2. It's good for the city of Chicago. Whether you live on 35th Street or in Wrigleyville, the White Sox reaching the World Series is a great accomplishment for the city. How long have the White Sox and Cubs been mired together in baseball mediocrity? Now, the White Sox are going to the Fall Classic and I believe the Cubs aren't far from getting there themselves. Cubs fans, be patient. Give it some time and your team will be there, too. Chicago should rally around the White Sox and understand that a White Sox win is a win for the entire city, not just below the river. 3. If you root for them, next year they'll root for you. How many times have Cubs fans said, "Wait 'til next year"? Well, this phrase might actually be true. The pieces are in place for a winning Cubs season in 2006. Jim Hendry will finally have a good amount of money to spend on free agents, and the questions the Cubs general manager has had in the past (bullpen and leadoff batter) can be answered with a few small moves. So, if you root for the White Sox this October, they'll be on your side next October. I'm not saying that Cubs fans have to go out and buy Paul Konerko jerseys. However, we should have no reason to "hate" the White Sox. I know Cubs fans are knowledgeable and they should be able to appreciate good baseball when they see it. The White Sox are playing good baseball and it should be appreciated by the entire city of Chicago. The Cubs should be able to learn something from the White Sox, who changed their team around in one year. They went from a team of bombers (Konerko, Carlos Lee, Magglio Ordonez) to a team with more speed that can beat you in several ways. Adding Scott Podsednik and Tadahito Iguchi gave them more variety in their lineup. So it's OK to be a White Sox fan for one series, Cubs Nation. Really, it is. This Cub certainly will.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) What are Pettite's and Clemens playoff numbers? I seem to remember seeing them and they're OK, but not overwhelming. I know they showed Pettite's numbers in games he could eliminate the oppennent, and they were something like 3-2 in 8 games with a 4.25 ERA it will be Oswalt and clemens the next 2 games.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) 1 ticket to 1 world series game of your choice. Thats at least the way i read it and I'm 99% sure thats right. I'm agreeing with ya. Hopefully we'll all be able to get a ticket at face or at least close to face. Its not a bad deal though if you get a tix to a world series game and spend a 2000 or so on a season seat as long as you plan on going to a few of the games. Heck, sell the Cubs/Sox tickets your entitled to and that will pay a decent portion of your seats as well as the Yanks and BoSox games and than just enjoy the rest of the games. There are some ways you can pull it. We just calculated or season seats in Anaheim and we ended up paying (actual out of pocket) 2000 for 4 seats for the entire regular season and postseason in the lower part of the UD behind home (about 5 rows up in the low part of the UD). Obviously ticket prices differ, but we sold some of our playoff seats and sold ocassional seats during the regular season. We also gave away a ton of seats to clients, but they aren't a bad investment and than your allowed to see as many games as you want at a pretty good price. Yeah I paid the 50 % for mine right now. I figure no matter what I will still come on top. I figure I may just sell my WS ticket (if its only 1 all together Im getting) and using the profit as a HUGE discount towards my season tix.

What a series!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) Ya, that 1st line says your eligible for 1 world series ticket per season seat purchased. so you saying 1 ticket all together? or 1 ticket each ws game? Im thinking its 1 ticket all together.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) David Eckstein deserves alot of credit there, boy. f*** yeah. I love that scrappy little guy!

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:04 PM) Why? They will call you,and if your not happy you wont pay. I have had the weekend plan for 2 years,and have always been treated great. Are you sure?

I want to purchase season tickets (cheapest price possible.) I found 1,300.00 for 1 Upper deck ticket for the season. Who ever can help me, Questions: Will I be able to purchase 8 WS tickets if I get that plan? Should I wait until tommorow morning to do it when offices open?

anyone know what time offices open tommorow? for the season ticket office?

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) Agree. That Brian.. don't mind him.. he just likes to kick people while they are down. Maybe it's time someone killed one of his threads

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) I don't think "getting over it" is the issue. More so.. coping and dealing and not making it an excuse for not doing your job. He sucked in the playoffs. Yeah. I just don't think its fair to judge another person in that situation unless, you have been in the same shoes.

Damn, He's Good!

I don't care for arod. But, this thread is Bulls***. I lost my mother 4 years ago and still can't get over it. ( I never will)

anyone remember when the bulls did this in 97? It was hosted by am 1000 . Unbelievable atmosphere!

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) I just don't see the point in opening without alcohol. That's where all the $$ is made. I love to drink. But, I would go with or without alcohol.

I can paypal u a dime right now if you'd like!

Knightni has an awesome collection in the "How does that work?" section Thread: pics for sigs, I must have saved every pic in that thread for my screen saver.

TV Crews for every chicago station you can think of. ABC, CBS, Fox, wgn, cltv, nbc Hundreds of fans Police lined up on 63rd street. Ozzie and Freddy were both in the same limo, walked out and greeted fans for a couple minutes. No one else could really get out because of the strict police gettting traffic moving. Mark was in white monster truck. Looked pumped up as he drove by greeting the fans. Rowand had someone else driving so he can stick out of the sun roof out of his truck. I must have been on tv 10 times today! Amazing time!

I was, anyone else?

Can any mod confirm this... The Real record is 312, no? At least it was that since January.

My dad is a cub fan!

QUOTE(The Bones @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:26 AM) Haha, same thing down at ISU. We had some Ozzie chants, Crede chants, Paulie chants, Nanana hey hey hey goodbye, when the cop came we got a "he's a cubs fan" chant going. It was awesome. Thats hilarious that the same chants happen at 2 different locations!
