1. I think the Cards and Cubs should open the season home and home.

In the midwest, it would be huge!

I think they should also close the season against one another. Might as well get what you can from the rivalry.

Edit - I still need to see a game at Wrigley.

2. For some reason that makes no sense to me.....
It's almost impossible to get a ticket to a game at Wrigley as it is.

Wait, I think I know......

It's a way to watch the Cubs play and not have to listen to the new TV commentators.

Steve Stone.....what have you done? :cry:

9. My brother used to live in the apartments across from Wrigley Field.
They had bleachers on their roof and he saw every game that he wasn't working during. He said it was a pretty good view. :hi:

10. I've been up there a few times.
When Mrs. XNASA and I first met, she lived a block and a half away. We would watch the game on TV and throw the windows open to hear the crowd noise.

One year, I attended 42 games, mostly in the bleachers. Ah, to be young, single, unemployed and drunk off my ass again.

14. If I won the lottery tomorrow.....
I would live in a loft apartment somewhere in the Lakeview neighborhood. No doubt about it. It's heaven.

22. I wish the Sox well.
But that game that they play over there in the AL.....is not baseball.
