Cubs Need Win Today Or Tickets Are Worthless

Down 2 games to none Tickets for this weekend's game are still in high demand, and if they win today even more so, as many won't purchase Sunday's tix until today's contest is played leaving lots of ticket scalpers and just sellers left holding the bag or little chunks of gold if they win.

I'm betting the Cubs go down in a sweep today, but hoping I'm wrong.

Tickets? $2,000 is right in the ballpark

chicagotribune.com: "Although $30 might have been enough to get into the Cubs-Diamondbacks series in Arizona this week, prices for first-round playoff games here in the land of championship-starved fans continued to climb Thursday. Standing-room tickets for weekend games against the Diamondbacks were up to about $200 apiece, and top seats crested beyond $2,000. Though playoff baseball might get a tepid reaction in the desert, the competition for Cubs tickets has been more bruising than usual this week in Chicago, as much a sport as baseball itself." continued

Cubs Special Internet Section Chicago Trib,
Lots of good video and trivia stuff.

Then there's this....these pictures caught my attention when looking through Cubs fan's pictures section in the Trib today. These are one man's pictures from Thailand after the Cubs victory the other day and then his front and backyard. Pretty Nutty, you probably couldn't do this in your backyard here in Chicago without someone bitching and moaning..
