QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) All over my office. All over. It's sick. Same here. Everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Everyday someone approaches me all excited and asking what I think, and I think you were a Cub fan 3 weeks ago, leave me alone.

I could have sworn when Uribe caught the final out that Geoff Blum threw up the "shocker" symbol. Anyone else see this?

If you know someone who did ticketfast for their Series tickets just have them make some copies for you and then you will have access to the lots. Just don't screw your friend over and go into the game with his/her ticket.

I got 1 ticket to game 2 My F'n sister called the Fine Arts Center in Boston and they sold her 4 to game 2 and 4 to game 6 (on her friends credit card). Unbelievable.

QUOTE(drowninginflame @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) I won't b**** cause it's worth it, but man I am hurting today people. I feel your pain. I was out until 2AM and got up for work at 5:30. Only 8 hours and 45 minutes left until I go home.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) I may just go down before the game and see if I can score some If it is anywhere close to how it was last night you will definitely get tickets. People were selling for $20-$30 just to cut their losses.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) that's what happens when you don't let fans buy those seats. i'm sorry it was like that last night. the only game i got to go to was ALDS game 1 and it was a ton of fun (for obvious reasons) Well it is now known that tickets are easy to come by at a good price if you just go down to the field, so everyone should head out there tonight and cheer them on. They need us.

I was there last night, sitting behind the plate and that section was dead. Me and my 2 buddies I was with were the only ones standing up and cheering. The rest of the snobs in that section were telling us to sit down. It was crazy. If you looked down either line all the premium box seats were sitting down and the rest of the stadium was on their feet. The crowd was dead last night and it sucked. Nothing at all like game 1 of the ALDS. Hopefully tonight is better.

I met up with 2 of my buddies and they got 2 seats right behind the dish (132 row 22) for face value. This was about 10 minutes before the game started. If you would have waited until the game began, you could have go into the stadium for $20-$30, easily.

I got 1 single ticket for game 1. Section 110 Row 7 Seat 9 $115 ouch

Good question. Is non-pass parking going to be restricted to the Lot H or whatever it is like the Cub games?

I've developed a drinking problem. Wait, that was already there. This team drives me crazy. The Woman was pissed off at me because I was so pissed on Wednesday night. Can't help it. This is starting to becaome my least favorite Sox team of all time.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) That's a GREAT seat!!! Second row behind the visitors BP. Very Nice. I didn't even realize it.

1 Ticket for game 1 Section 105 Row 10

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) I'll steal a nice bike here on campus. It's not like the weather will be too bad in mid January.... Can't you take a train to the Quad Cities and then connect to another one to Chicago?

Jim, Thanks again! I feel like I've already been there.

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) Ok by special request (meaning, I got a private message ) I'll add my 10 cents on San Francisco. It is a great city, much like any other city with some gorgeous parts and also some less than desireable areas. First of all, transportation ... I do not recommend getting a car if you're gonna stay in SF proper. Parking is very difficult and outrageously expensive. We took the BART from the airport right into downtown and were able to walk to our hotel in the Chinatown area, which is a very short cable car ride from the downtown BART stations. www.bart.gov . The BART combines with Muni and the cable car system is part of all this too. You should buy a 3 day pass which allows you access to public transportation all over the Bay area. First of all the ballpark (PacBell or whatever they're calling it this year) is in the south of Market district, called worst spammer ever by the locals. It's right on a small inlet of SF Bay called China Basin, and it's located right at the end of the Embaradero, which is basically a waterfront passageway that extends over to Fisherman's Wharf. You can take a light rail MUNI from the ballpark to Fishermans Wharf. The ballpark area itself is ok, not the nicest high class area in SF but certainly safe. They offer tours so you can see it. In the shadow of the ballpark, at Market and McCoppin St. is a breakfast place and it's great ... "It's Tops Coffee Shop". It's like a trip into the 1040's, cheap, and very good. Also very close is the 21st Amendment Brewery and Cafe, go there during happy hour for great deals on appetizers and their excellent beer. If you are a beer fan, about 10 minutes from the ballpark via bus is the Anchor Brewing Company, at 1705 Mariposa, www.anchorbrewing.com . They offer one tour per day of their historic brewery, it is a beautiful old structure and of course you get samples after the tour. Highly recommended. Baseball history: just about 1 mile from the Anchor Brewing Co. is a small park called Franklin Square, located at 16th and Bryant. Look across the street at a strip shopping center with an auto dealer and some other stores. This is the former site of Seals Stadium, which was the first home to the SF Giants in 1958 and 1959 before Candlestick Park was built. Across the street is the Double Play Cafe, which is about the only reminder that major league baseball was played at this intersection. I highly recommend the Double Play Cafe for a burger or a sandwich, and all of the SF baseball memorabilia on the walls, including the top of the flagpole and some seats from Seals Stadium, which was demolished in 1960. Joe Dimaggio played a lot at Seals, as did Willie McCovey, who hit his first HR there back in 1958. North of Market St. is the high end area called Union Square, with all kinds of stores and fancy restaurants and nice hotels. The famous Sir Frances Drake hotel is located in this area, at the corner of Powell and Sutter. The lobby is stunning, as are some of the female guests who stay To be continued later this evening. I knew I could count on you Jim. Thanks a lot. I look forward to the 2nd installment.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 07:22 PM) Perfect weekend getaway, but from Chicago, it's a long flight for just a weekend. I'll be there for almost 2 weeks.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 06:30 PM) Fisherman's Warf was really cool. I didn't get to The Rock, due to it being closed for remodeling or something. I remember a club I drove by. It was a two story club, the entire front open pretty much. LOUD THUMPING MUSIC. People all over the place. The were all guys. It was the first time I had ever seen a club of such. I'm staying in the Union Square area while I'm working, but I am flying out the woman after my convention is over and we were thinking about staying in Fisherman's Wharf. Definitely going to Alcatraz and She wants to go the the Tattoo Art Museum.

I'm going to San Francisco for work. I have never been there so i was hoping to get your take on it. Thanks!

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) Yeah, I like the spots. He's a good pick for this. Is he a Sox fan? That's not Red Forman is it?

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) i would think its most known for pizza. when i tell people im from chicago they comment about the pizza alot. my friends all say they want to go to chicago and get good chicago pizza, but they have no idea about the beef. they do know about hot dogs, but less so than pizza. so pizza > dogs >>> beef that said, im in nashville, and i cant find a damn beef stand or anything anywhere. any beef that is sold is cheesesteaks, which dont even come close to comparing to a good italian beef. the beef is teh one thing, even more than pizza, that i really get a craving for.......what a catch by dye...........it may be because i am italian and always eat beef at home, but i think its cuz there are all sorts of pizza i can still eat, but there are 0 beef sandwiches sold around here Portillo's will ship you beef anywhere in the country.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) If your not normal than neither am I. I cant say that I haven't missed a broadcast, but I am always checking the score via the web on my phone. My wife even tells me that how the Sox are playing determines my moods. I think I have issues also :banghead Nothing pisses my girlfriend off more than me constantly looking at my phones for scores and fantasy stats. Sh hates it. She'll just have to live with it.

Who cares if he gets suspended for a start. He could probably use the rest. Appeal it for a while and then miss a start against KC in september. With the amount of innings the guy has logged the last few seasons, missing a start could be beneficial to him down the stretch.
