Watch bad baseball. Heckle Barry Bonds.

I have a few extra bleacher seats for Friday 9/1 at Wrigley. If anyone happens to be coming to Chicago and is interested in going, let me know!

Gold, giving away bleacher tickets on the Friday before a long weekend?!? Has the bottom dropped out of the secondary market, or are you being magnanimous?

Damn I wish I could get an earlier flight. Sure, the baseball is terrible, but the Old Style is cold.

The bottom has completely dropped out of the secondary market. Only one of my friends cares to blow off work, and a check of ebay shows plenty of tickets available buy-it-now below face value.

I bought 6 tickets back in Feb thinking that even if I couldn't find friends, I could always sell - holiday weekend and all. This team has created so much apathy that the bleachers aren't tempting any more. And if the weather forecast holds (mostly cloudy, high of 70, wind blowing straight in 10-20 MPH) I'll be lucky to get even $20 each for them.

It's delicious too (actually, no it's not. It's terrible. But it's also Wrigley, so you have to have one).

These days, you can also get Corona or Becks Light, but that isn't exactly Jack's style.

Not unless it's Thursday night at Chadwick's, circa 1997.

Jack showed that he has style this weekend.

Old Style.
