Getting cheep (relatively) tickets is hard but not impossible. Going with stub hub is going to be expensive but. The trick is to know well in advance of when you are going. Also the team you are playing is going to be a huge factor. St.Louis is always going to be a hard ticket to find, and if the Brewers are good tickets are hard to find as well. The best way to get tickets is to check the cubs website often because they will release additional tickets periodically. I got tickets last year for $28 in-field reserve, two days before the game, there were none available for the entire two months before the game. Craigslist is also a good place to get tickets day of game. If you don’t care about the first inning or two, go to the scalpers after the first inning, They can be jerks and you should have a good idea of the layout of the stadium because they will sell you obstructed view. And it can suck to have a giant I-beam between your legs for 9 innings. If you can find 10 other people that want to go the rooftops across the street are a pretty good deal. I am paying 141.00 for all you can eat/drink and a good view of the field inter-league game on a Sunday in June.

Can't manufacture a run to save their lives...too bad, because the pitching has been great.

They keep saying the Cubs need to get Peavy from the Padres, I think they need to get a big bat in the lineup. The pitching has definitely settled in.

Is Derek Lee even breathing this year?

You DO realize, don't you, that "Wait 'til next year" has already morphed into "Wait 'til next millenium". At some point cute becomes no more than sad.

Go Yankees.

Well, there's no Gatorade machine for him to take out his frsutrations on.

Over/under on runs scored by both teams in the series?

I say 12.

12 sounds right. Who knows, they could either have a HR derby or a pitchers duel.
