Wow, really? There's gonna be a lotta Cubs fans there. I've been looking into getting tix for game 3 or 4 here in Chicago, and the worst seats in the house are going for ~$250. Lower deck is going for a "buy-it-now" price of $800. I cannot afford these - and there's 20,000 extra in Arizona! Man...
Also, did anyone else watch that Rockies victory over the Pads? Holy crap. What a game. But I gotta say: A) I know Hoff blew it, but it was the wrong call to wait till the 13th to bring him in B) How much of Hoff's ineffectiveness was because he'd essentially been warming up for like 6 innings? C) For about 4 innings, hitters for both teams seemed to more or less give up entirely on the concepts of plate discipline or working the count and tried to end it on one swing. Blech D) I feel bad for Pads fans, in that Holliday did not score as Barrett made the best kick save of the year, NHL included, but I don't really blame the ump for missing that one - dirt was flying, it was bang-bang, and he couldn't have missed the plate by more than a couple of inches. E) Good lord the Phillies must be happy - both the Pads and Rox must be completely spent and exhausted going into the NLDS F) I think the Phills and Rox have like 7 stolen bases, 800 home runs, and 2 bandbox stadiums between them. Pitchers beware.
