Does this look like the face of someone under 21 years of age?
Good thing I pre gamed with some Whiskey, and had someone with me WITH an ID, because I went to Wrigley without one, got carded, and not served. But I knew this game was gonna blow as soon as I paid 30$ for a nosebleed ticket. The price fixers of MLB and Stubhub never let price get below 45$ for yesterdays, nearly sold out, 6-2 loss to the First Place Pirates. It was pretty packed, but the bleachers weren't totally jammed, and I was easily able to sit the entire game in Upper Deck Box, instead of my assigned "behind a pole"seats. Rickett's needs 10$ tickets to fill the place. Hey, we'll buy you 6$ Hot dogs and 8$ beers, just make it affordable Daddy Warbucks!
As far as the baseball went yesterday, it was pretty terrible. Shark Smardkbferbfowebf was mediocre for an "Ace". 5 runs, 5 walks, only 3K's over 6. For some reason, Dale "Evil Genius" Sveum walked the 8 hitter in the second inning to pitch to Liriano, the Pirates pitcher, who promptly drove in the first run of the game. Why are you walking the 8 hitter? Chicken? It makes the Cubs look weak. Go after the 8 hitter! It's not like it's Pete Rose up there! It's Jordy freakin Mercer for Crissakes! His names Jordy! Lame Dale...real lame...
And every player who did something good yesterday, also did something bad. The Cubs had only 4 hits, two by the beefy back up catcher Dioner Navarro, who also hurt himself, and allowed a run to score from third with a high throw to second.
Poor Dioner...McCutchen's bat hit him in the funnybone, the one place Navarro has no..."extra"...human padding.
Scott Hairston hit a 2 run homer! But he also needlessly dove for, and missed this ball....
With nobody on and two out....he wasn't even close, and it ended up being a triple.
And Starlin Castro Struck out on this pitch...
And on this pitch...
Then he hit a double!!!
Look how confidently Starlin smells his 8 inning ripened arm pit!
Then.....
He got picked off second...
Then called out...
Then Starlin pouted on all 4's, wondering if the hot girl in box seats he was looking at when he got picked off, liked his butt
Ahoy! That game blew, but it was a beautiful day at the Wrigs....and I got drunk regardless of my lack of ID. And even though the Cubs lost with blame to go around, I had a blast.
Let's get em today eh?!!!
Charlie Morton, who's only pitched in 4 games this year, but has a 2.50 era goes for the Bucs vs. Edwin Jackson, who unfortunately pitches worse at home and in the day time. Well....at least it's a beautiful day for a ballgame!
