The Grinder

No clue, maybe a late arriving crew for the night? I missed the top of 1st is all. I could have missed the entire game and I still wouldnt have missed anything?

I did the "Forget password?" button which I did and got a code number which I was to insert in the TM website but never saw a place to insert the number....hence the printing of ticket at the window. Was I blind?? I'm not much on computers, I mean a server is a bartender right? and a hard drive is a trip thru a snow storm!!

My GF and I hadnt been to Sox game in 2 yrs, last one at GR, so I ordered tix on ticket master for last nights game in Milwaukee and when we got parked and she went to download the tix TM website didnt allow her to do so since I had ordered seats (which she was allowed to do so 2 yrs ago go figure) So I was unprepared to download the tix on my cell and didnt have my passwords and mobile app, so I did the Forgot Password, got a 6 digit code but never found the place back on TM website to paste it to. So we are boiling hot in the sun so I suggested we go to ticket window and explain our dilemma. We asked if we could get a paper tix, and after a series of security questions, I paid the $8 printing fee and the lady handed us our 2 tix the old school way, on printed paper stock The 2 tickets we paid for online w all the service fees (in section 412) came to $106 ad some change. I cant recall the face value, maybe approx $42 each...... So I look at my paper ticket this AM and see the price of one ticket was $21 face value, for same seats vs Sox Why was face value double via ticketmaster and could I have walked up to window and scored same tickets for half what I paid TM? I guess I'm out of the loop!! I thought the broker made money by buying in quantity and adding service fees. Buying in quantity yes but doubling the price and adding SC? Is it a case of charging what the market will bear??

I too had similiar drama, took forever to get in, huge line at all entrances ALso had really hard time finding my car as there are what seemed many parking lots and the light poles had very few signs indicating where you had parked, we were in lot labeled G gate 6 which didnt reference much to me. Took at least 30 min to find my car

thats what my tix say

Seems many yrs ago there was about 3 players from a team get ejected over a terrible blown call and IIRC their logic was that this would make sports news and the umpire would get exposed as blowing the call can umps get demoted to AAA if they are deemed incompetent?

The mistake by the lake made another goof. They will always be Indians to me

Thank you!!

How far is the park from Maders? Just made a reservation there

Yes of course! Like they say you know yr in Wisconsin just look for the Illinois license plates

i think I did hear that come to think of it, it used to be same week as Taste IIRC, I think they seem to break attendance records every year

Got tix for Sat game, does anyone know if the food vendors accept cash or just plastic?

I think summerfest is over, FWIW the Milwaukee Zoo is outstanding. The historic THird Ward is worth checking out for a few beers. Gotta love those cheeseheads ! Of course they LOVE to take Flatlanders money

The Beer City is one of my fav cities, always something to do. Have fun!!!!

Wow Houston sure has our number this yr, not good if you believe the WS road runs thru Houston.....

IIRC both sides have won 3 World Series now, but the tiebreaker goes to the Sox as they defeated the cubs the one time they played eachother

In fact with some exceptions, I'd say most of my cub fans are actually pretty nice people. Its their team that sucks!!

Agreed, I'm sure there are some decent ones, the last one I had I swear printed my rehab routine off of google

I'm more interested in a W than a HR

Let the Tyler Neslony era begin!!?

Are we in 1st place because of Tony or despite him?

Sounds like our boys

Isnt Wrigley Spearmint Gum Field the orginal corporate named park? (I know it was named after the family, not the product but sounds good!)

Very pleased w the win, we are beating up on the teams we should beat, then I think the Houston series?, but hey a W is a W
