Re: MLB 2006

Where did you sit?

And most importantly where did you drink before and afterwards?? :beer

Not that I'm jealous or anything..... :veryupset :frustration :veryupset

It was fantastic. My mate and I really enjoyed it.

We got there early so we could have a few (more) beers. We started off and the Cubby Bear. I got you a t-shirt from there.

We then went down to Sluggers. Had a couple there.

Then we went into the game. We sat in the centre field bleachers. You could have drawn a straight line from home plate to us. We were about half way up in the bleachers in front of the scoreboard.

After the game finished, we went to Murphys and had a few. Ran into a heap of Red Sox fans which was good.

After that, we went back into the city. Being a bit "tired and emotional" we staggered off from the Grand station on the Red Line over to Pizzeria Uno where we spent a couple of hours drinking more beer and eating a huge deep pan pizza. God the food in Chicago is good. Bloody enormous as well.

Besides a heap of other places, we've been to Ditka's bar and restaurant and also to Harry Caray's. They are just outstanding places. Awesome. In fact, we've decided to finish up tonight again at Harry Caray's. You should see the memorabillia in these places. Just staggering.

Excellent, oh how it pains me not to be there as well :'(

I haven't been to Ditkas bar,but have been at Wrigley when he threw the first pitch,he's a huge Cubs fan.

Have been to Harry Careys though.
Its actually a great shame you didn't get to see him sing for the 7th inning stretch,it was a part of baseball fokelore that i'm glad I experienced.
Funny how a goofy looking old bloke was such a revered figure of the city.

Re: MLB 2006

Just before he died, Harry Caray reckoned he'd drunk 70,000+ bottles of Budweiser.

That's what probably killed him......

Sounds great Reds. My wife is there at the moment and I F@#%#% should be too. Love the Cubby Bear. Did you go upstairs for a hit in the cage?
If you are looking to watch the footy somewhere, there is a bar at clark and Sedgewick (2 miles nth of the city, my old hunting ground) called, suprisingly, Segwicks, which shows heaps of the rugby Aussie rules and soccer. Have fun.

Re: MLB 2006

I am back in Phoenix right now.

Its just about to go 1 am in the morning and I have just got back from a 15 inning marathon between the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers. It went for 5 hours 15 minutes. Geez !

Maddux pitched for LA. Got hit around a bit. Location is one thing, but when you've such low velocity as he has nowadays (fastball is around the 83 mph mark now), the end is not far away. Still, it was good to watch him work.

Red Sox throw up another critical loss getting shut out by the M's. Hopeless.

Luckily for your Sux Rudefart,the Wankees have dropped 3 to the Halos and your blokes are some chance of catching them.I reckon with the As,Twins and *smile* Sox ahead of you in the standings for the wildcard that may be too big an ask however.
Cubs have yet another rookie starting his first game tomorrow against the Red Turds.
Game will be live on ESPN so I hope the lad can give us a shot at winnng,and help the Reds dump St louis as Central div leader.

Re: MLB 2006

Geez the Red Sox are stinking it up. Season just about gone - if it isnt already.

Went to the game v A's last night. Red Sox had their B team out there with 6 regular starters missing: Ramirez, Ortiz, Nixon, Varitek, Mo Pena and what would have been Lester as the pitcher.

Will be watching Beckett go tonight and then the matchup of all matchups the next night: Schilling v Zito.

Unless he gets some bloody run support from someone...ANYBODY....Schill is gonna be up against it.

Re: MLB 2006

Went to first ever MLB game yesterday , pretty cool day..
Good seats out of the sun and took lots of pics and a lot of fun..
Though pity the game couldn't be closer but least we got to see some runs including a few homers!
<lame troll>I don't know much about baseball but boy do those red sox suck!

Also interesting the standing ovation the pitcher for the red sox(Schilling?) got when he got his 300th strikeout.....They seem fairly sporting compared to our crowds..

Lots of red sox fans there too so a bit of atmosphere..


P.S Whats with americans and their obsessions about stuffing their faces all day??

We should have hooked up. I was there too.

How dominant are the Red Sox fans Outcast ? They're everywhere aren't they ? ! The entire series there were loads of Red Sox fans there.

You should go to Boston where evey second person is dressed in some Red Sox garb of some kind. Its truly amazing. They don't call it Red Sox Nation for no reason.

As for Americans stuffing themselves, they are unbelievable ! They think donuts and burritos are healthy breakfast alternatives !

Re: MLB 2006

Heh i wouldn't inflict meeting me on anyone..

I did notice there were lots of red sox fans there , we were sitting behind the red sox bullpen
which seemed to be where most of them were..

Don't notice too many people around the streets with 49er or giants stuff on so must be something peculiar to Boston..Or perhaps they aren't that passionate about there sports team here..

Re: MLB 2006

In abeyance obviously.
I sent a PM and he hasn't responded.....lets hope its not more sinister.
If your reading Patsy......'Come back...I miss ya!!!'

Anibal Sanchez of the Marlins throws a no hitter against the Diamond Hacks.
No mean effort for a first year rookie huh??

Well done son.
