ChiSoxFanMike Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Why are people paying hundreds of dollars to get into a bar? Wouldn't it be much better to throw a party at home with family and friends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was invited to a bbq/cubs party on saturday night. My friend lives on Sheffield near the corner of Belmont. He has a huge roof deck where you can see Wrigley field. Not sure if i want to deal the traffic and the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footlongcomiskeydog Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 QUOTE (Boogua @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) Apparently Tomlin has been throwing more curveballs recently too (over 40% against the Jays) and the Cubs aren't very good against them. With that said, I'm still seriously considering taking Cubs - 2.5 +180 I dropped a little coin on the Cubs -1.5 tonight and for them to win the Series in 5. It really feels like the Tribe are bringing a knife to a gunfight. I don't see them winning a single game at Wrigley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be much better to throw a party at home with family and friends? I think most of the people paying hundreds of dollars to get into a bar are some combination of A) single, B) in their 20's, C) from the burbs or out of state. I watched most of the Sox run in 05 at family or friends houses and I was only two years out of undergrad. Being at a bar with a bunch of strangers was too distracting. Every pitch is so important in the WS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I played the cubs moneyline at -200, that seems like a gimme. Been playing the money line all playoff on the cub or not at all. Been some really nice wins on cub as I figured every game would be 2 to 1 at least. That was how it was in the Wodd/Prior days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxjr27 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Anyone listen to boars and bernstein just now? If sunday is a clinching game it would be the most anticipated sporting event ever in the history of sports and in 2005 the vibe was not there blah blah blah. I can't wait until this series is over.

shipps Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 LOL oh this is funny. Many Cubs fans in their heart of hearts would rather them lose. I actually kind of believe that as crazy at it sounds. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/addicted-...-161752141.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be much better to throw a party at home with family and friends? Not sure if this will make sense, but I'll try. So much of being a Cubs fan is about being a Cubs fan. In a way, the team itself is irrelevant. It's about Wrigley Field, the 7th inning stretch that Harry Caray invented on the north side, famous fan boys, Wrigleyville bars, etc. That's what makes their fans such d-bags. When they go to an away park, all they care about is how many more Cubs fans are there than for the home team. This isn't meant to be the usual "they don't care about the score" argument either. I just feel like they are so caught up in the idea that they are Cubs fans that they have to gather in large numbers just to make a statement. Watch - the big story IF they win will be how many more fans are at the parade and how the Sox parade pales in comparison. The fact is, the Sox did it first. And the Sox did it better.

caulfield12 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Talk about greed rum amok. SouthSide bars would be ashamed to post signs like that, especially after 2008. Just makes it easier to root against the Cubs. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/28/us/ohare-air...dent/index.html Bad omen for the Cubs?

iamshack Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The 4 person maximum is the kicker. At least in Vegas, they'll let you have a decent-sized group at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
