,19, huh? So a single Old Style beer would only be a 3950% increase over the actual ticket price. Mmmm, thirsty…

The Bears are on tonight so the demand to go is way down. It was partly cloudy upper 60s there today, perfect day for a 1:20 start. Too bad Cubs mgmt has sold their souls and play all these night games.

easy there cowboy, I pointed out that Deadspin ran the link this morning and you wrote something hours later. Maybe you do follow the same people on twitter. Maybe you don’t. It really doesn’t bother me. Maybe you read Deadspin and then came up with your paragraph and the link. I don’t consider either a form of journalism. Here’s a hot tip for you: you can buy a seat to tonight’s Pirates/Braves game at the house of misery (PNC Park) for a nickel on stub hub. How about a paragraph for that? “Go see Chipper Jones for a nickel!!!!”

Maybe it’s because Deadspin’s writers follow the same people on Twitter as I do and are working from the same places. Or did you think Deadspin’s linking the same CBS story I did constituted some higher form of journalism?

Hey man, it’s an MLB game at Wrigley field. They may be also-rans, but it’s BASEBALL. If there isn’t an actual snowstorm blowing and I was in Chicago, I’d go.

Been to Wrigley, this is a fair price for any who have not been. Soak it up and all the North Side has to offer, it is a good time.

I find it hilarious that when an article about baseball pops up on Deadspin.com, very soon after Craig writes an article on the same story

Probably 15 after the fees. Not worth it

That being said, I love baseball. I don’t care who is playing. I’ve never been to Chicago before. If I had a chance to go, I’d be there no matter what the time of year.

Night games after September 1st at Wrigley are ill-advised. Night games after October 1st at Wrigley are just plain dumb. Unless they’re post-season games…oh wait, it’s the Cubs, nevermind.

Actually, they’re $10.64 a piece with the $5 stubhub fee & the $5.45 “delivery” fee for having them emailed to you

No thanks on the Cubs/Astros. I’ll take the banana.
