Yeah, when the Cubs are in, usually the Sox are on the road.Machado wrote:Lard
Turns out the WS will be out of town that weekend. I assume 1 Chicago team is is town while the other team is away, yes?
Which is fine. Would rather visit Wrigley for a game.
If tickets happen to be a bit scarce, just wait outside until the 2nd inning or so when the scalpers are looking to dump their tickets. As long as the Cardinals aren't in town, you should have a relatively easy time picking up tickets.Machado wrote:If what John said is true, then I should have very little trouble buying tickets to the game once I am in town.
Very pleased that is the case. Plus, around Sept the Cubs are almost always out of contention, so maybe more tickets will be on sale that time of year?
DBacks are in town that weekend. I can't miss the 1st inning. I want to see the visiting team score some runs and not miss out of the action.Lardbucket wrote:If tickets happen to be a bit scarce, just wait outside until the 2nd inning or so when the scalpers are looking to dump their tickets.

I hope you get to check out a game, but I think they'll be contending around September. I've stated this before, I think both the Cubs and Mariners are sleeping giants.Machado wrote:DBacks are in town that weekend. I can't miss the 1st inning.

They are in town together 2 or 3 times a season. Those are long days if you choose to go to both games. As a matter of fact, the last 2 times fans have stormed the field at Comiskey, I want to say they went to the Cubs game in the afternoon and decided keeping the party going at the Cell was a good idea and wound up in jail.Machado wrote:Lard

That stance has zero merit. A successful franchise like the Yankees compared to the lowly Cubs. Yeah, there is nothing in common between both teams.wickedsensation wrote:I'm sure the Yankees will have a better year than the Cubs in 2016...Machado wrote:1 more year of sucking!

Except the Cubs are built to be good for a long time. They have a smart FO, maybe you've heard of them. They embarrassed the fuck out of "your" team already.Machado wrote:That stance has zero merit.

Yankees failed this season. The Cubs have failed since 1908. See where I am going here?
Curse of the Goat lives.

I'm gonna laugh watching your retarded ass slink away from this thread when Chicago is better than NYY next year. In fact I'll bet the Cubs' curse is broken before Cashman gets to buy another ring.

To come back from a 0-3 deficit, the only time in baseball's 100+ year history does completely embarrass the MFY franchise. No matter what, no matter how many billions spent.....NYY will never live that down. Plus the odds of it recurring are slim to none.Machado wrote:Kill
1 or 2 WS wins by the Red Sox last decade do nothing to embarrass the Yankees franchise. When the Red Sox win 20+, then you can talk.
Sure the Cubs are good. They have been good in the past but never great.
Like I said many, many times, MLB is about winning the WS. Not so much about being good.
How is that working for The Nats???
Hang on to that memory. Yankee fans like myself have dozens of tales like this that we can refer to. I'll save you the grief and not post examples of how the Yankees made the Red Sox cry over the years.killeverything wrote:To come back from a 0-3 deficit, the only time in baseball's 100+ year history does completely embarrass the MFY franchise.

That was the biggest choke job in sports history. They choked harder than the fucking Trailblazers, mang.

To be honest I miss the Yankees vs Red Sox rivalry. Time for the Sux to get better because you can't have a rivalry when 1 of the teams is below average.
Nice try! LOL!!!killeverything wrote:Dozens?Machado wrote: Hang on to that memory. Yankee fans like myself have dozens of tales like this that we can refer to. I'll save you the grief and not post examples of how the Yankees made the Red Sox cry over the years.

Let's see. 1947, 1978, 1999, 2003.
Dozen = 12. Dozens implies increments of twelve, so 24+. 1947 = 1, 1978 = 1, 1999 = 1, 2003 = 1.
1+1+1+1 = 4.
Yep. Dozens.
