Cubs 2005

[Chainmeister]

Miller Park is only 90 miles from Chicago.  Milwaukee's team is tepid and Cubs fans are...well Michler is one,  'Nuff said.  

I have never been there but have heard only good things about the park.

[Dan Michler]

miller park is sweet!  i went to 2 Cubs games there last year.  it was definitely at least 75% cubs fans.  alot of fun.  getting out of the parking lot and onto 94 did take forever but it was worth it.

when I went to Miller Park to see the Cubs play the Brewers it was more of a waiting game to get out than any other game I've seen at the park

there are two ways to get into miller park; one from the I-94 and the other is from 34th? street.  whatever the street name, it is the easiest to get in and out of the park from, never more than a 30 minute (two old styles's) wait.  

I have never been there but have heard only good things about the park

its a nice park, no wrigley, but it has a dome and is a hell of alot easier to get to from rockford which is big part of the allure.   getting tickets shouldnt be a problem at all.  when they played there in the first week of september 03' my buddies and i all got scalped in for the face price of the ticket plus a buck or two, and that was a friday through sunday series.

i also saw a cubs brewers game a couple years ago

there is an affordable hotel near the park

that you could walk to the park  (guys could but if u r with chicks - you might not walk it)

yes dan  i went to see the brewers play

[whofarted]

had some friends that went to marquette university (about ten blocks from the park area).  it amazed me how fast you can go from relatively nice settings to 'heart of the ghetto'.  

[Dan Michler]

well we split the season series u bizzos.  not too bad considering we suck.

[airspuds]

isnt the wild card still in reach

considering all the injuries .500 isnt so bad
the cubs needed sunday

3-3  season series

i got a 12 game lead on our bets

[Dan Michler]

of course tonight was the first game i didn't start Z on my fantasy squad.  whoops!

[Dan Michler]

the cubs found new ways to torture me yesterday.  u have to be pretty dumb to keep rooting for the cubs.  but i already knew i wasn't the smartest cookie in the jar.

[CEValkyrie]

Latroy tried to give it to us tonight but again we leave a shit load of runners on base. Way to hit into a DP Walker leaving Lee on deck to end the game in EI.  

[airspuds]

still in wild card

[CEValkyrie]

still in wild card

You are nuts. They don't have a chance.

The only reason i'm watching games now is because there is nothing else to do when you don't work & to watch Lee win the MVP.

[SDPatrick]

Come over to the right side, Red Birds 4-ever.

[Dan Michler]

f*%k the cardinals.  nobody should root for those bastiges.  the cubs need to level the whole damn team and fire dusty baker.  i'm sure that won't happen though.  the only thing i have left to hope for this season is that 1st round crushing loss in the playoffs for the white sox after they win 110 games in the regular season.

[airspuds]

wont happen dan  pitching is to deep

dont forget out bet    

[Dan Michler]

ur really gonna remind me of that bet 3 days after my financial disaster.  

[SDPatrick]

Damn you Cubs, 3 out of 4 against my Cardinals, we are only 15 games up now!

[airspuds]

you ever see bull durham ?

Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: God, that sucker teed off on that like he knew I was gonna throw a fastball!
Crash Davis: He did know.
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: How?
Crash Davis: I told him.

boy that astro third baseman (Ensberg) hit the hell out of that ball in the 7th
