Any word on playoff tickets and when they will go on sale?

It was Bud's doing only after Drayton McClane was to stubborn to accept the fact that Houston was about to be a place where the games couldnot be played.

I honestly believe that if Thursday night he would have conceded the fact, the games would have been played in a more neutral site.

you could say that but you had no idea when or what the hurricane would really do, why move the game when you didnt have to, even if McLane saidlets play this in Seattle, you think Bud would really listen? then bud Milwaukee connection is too big to say it was anyone elses fault. that being said itsover, and now cubs beat the brewers 6 times for us and we will move on to the Marlins
 
First off, Firstborn thanks for not being an $++ about Z's no-no. U have class my friend, unlike some people.

I would've posted 24 hours earlier, but my body caved in once I got home, and I just knocked out on the sofa first thing, literally forabout 10 hours straight. Didn't change my clothes, didn't kick off my J's, nothing. I was up since 7am because of the rain and flooding, plus wewanted to gamble in the casino up there before the game. My voice is still somewhat gone and I still have a little headache from all that cheap tastingbeer.

History was made Sunday. It's still surreal. How sweet it is. I'm still stunned and it hasn't sunk in for me completely. Once again,a very special day for me that I will take with me to my very last day. I will never forget this and this will always be up there in the best moments of mylife. I saw a no-hitter in person, for the team that I'm a fan for. What could be better than that?

Ok, we still have plenty of baseball left. Let's finish strong and clinch our postseason, playoff ticket by winning our division. Ted Lilly was dominantand just as masterful as Z. Let's continue and follow suit with Dempster going tonight versus CC. Go Cubs Go!

My pics from the game. usually don't bring my digital camera. Luckily I did Some are blurry, for the reasons only to be expected why!

We got CC tonight huh? I'd love to beat that guy and really put the squeeze on the Crew. Talk about panic if their savior can't get a win against us. Dude has been a u t o matic since he came to the NL.

Sickkickz23, nice pics - thanks for sharing. I am still smacking myself for not making the (easy) trip.

Tylerdub, yes indeed. And if its not against the Brewers, it will be vs the Cardinals this weekend! If anyone is going, I'll be at the bars Fri after thegame and going on Saturday!
 
I dont care when we clinch. The division is a wrap. Its the Cubs. I just want to sweep the Brew Crew for spite

Dude, color me jealous. That is dope that you were there - I would love to witness any no-hitter, but to have it be your team too, man nothing beats that. Good stuff.

i'm just trying to find things to feel good about at this point.

Bronson Arroyo is 6-2 since the start of August with an ERA of 2.48 including one complete game and 8 of those 9 outings have been quality starts.

he's 5-0 in his last 6 starts with an ERA of 1.45 and in his no-decision he went 7 innings giving up 0 earned runs.

I would love 100 too. I would love world series more of course, but 100 would be a nice round number to finish the season on.
 
100 or not, I am just stoked we will win the division, whether it be vs the Brewers or the Cardinals.

For those of you who watched the game last night, you saw Prince Fielder hit two home runs, one which cleared the stadium. It initially looked like he hit oneof the rooftop buildings, but in reality he didn't. Peep this site: www.hittrackeronline.com/index.php

You can track longest hit homers this year. Prince didn't hit the building but came real close. Interesting site if you got time to kill.....
