Good lord, Cubs fans are literally the dumbest people on Earth.

 

Yes, I realize that World Series appearances for their team are rare, but $2500 for one ticket? That's a fortune. Unless someone is insanely rich and don't know what to do with their money, that's crazy.

 

This is why i hope the mets take care of business and win this thing. :)

Let's be completely and totally honest here.

 

If that C were an indian head, and the sport were Hockey, we would all look like idiots.

I wouldn't pay that much for a Blackhawks Stanley Cup game honestly, but I don't particularly like hockey.

 

Hell, I doubt I'd even pay over $1000 for a White Sox World Series game. I just can't justify dropping that much money on a single event when I could watch it for much, much less in the comfort of my own home.

You wouldn't but others would. The price for hockey games is insane and why I'll never go again as I am just a casual hockey fan (a Wolves game will be good enough).

So what do you guys think? I am leaning towards Russell's smile being the best IMHO.

Good Lord. The end can't come soon enough.

Only thing I would pay $1000 for is if ND ever plays in the Rose Bowl.

Yeah, the media and cub fans alike are just pathetic.

 

As long as the cubs keep losing, I like all of their smiles equally. :D

Maybe if it's Game 7 at home, but even then...you're talking $3000-5000 instead of $1000 in the secondary market.

 

Nutty. Don't care enough about being there in person to justify that one.

I was at Game 2 of the 2005 World Series (for free though, grandfather got me tickets), and it was awesome enough that I could easily justify spending $1000 on a ticket for another one, and I'm not Mr. Moneybags or anything, and I'm almost always on the "staying home and watching the game on TV is better than being there live" side.

 

EDIT: On second thought, I'm biased because that game was all kinds of awesome. If I spent $1000 only to have the Sox put up a stinker I'd be full of regret. Hmmm...

These are the latest playoff/post-season games in the history of Wrigley Field. Not sure if that's worth an extra $5-10 for attendees or not. More relevant than best smile I guess.

Mets are only -110 favorites. Seems low given the pitching matchup. O/U 7.5, so winds shouldn't be too big of a factor

Cubs betting inflation is also asinine.

Yeah, that sounds really low.

I am predicting the Cubs lose this game by at least 5 runs. Its reality check time for this magical run.

 

I am not bitter or anything. ;)

Boss just told me he couldn't imagine not supporting a team from your city (he's not really a baseball fan). Again, are Yankees fans being held to the same standard right now?

Then he shouldn't be talking.

 

People don't know how seriously fans take these rivalries if they don't watch the games.

I'm not sure if i should watch the game on tv or follow the thread on SoxTalk? Reason i say that is i really don't want to see screaming cub fans on tv.

Tonight there will be more of the "stunned" Cubs fans on TV.

Gregs house is going to be passed around to this entire site when it's all said and done.

HAHAHA. In that case i will watch the game on TV. Hope i'm not disappointed. :P

If the Mets win tonight we should have a SoxTalk meet up for the game Wednesday.

Is it raining at Wrigley right now? I'm up north and it's been dark and rainy all day.
