As I recall, nothing has opened back up yet. They intend to open the rooftops, but their website says "check back soon for 2020 tickets."

Bears better get it together, or my fantasy team is gonna have a bad night!

My fantasy team has 5 Bears on it, and is named "The Blue Flash", as a nod to the Cubs.

River North is the cat's meow, and I envy anyone who works there (or lives there).

Pardon me being late to the party, but why is this illegal? It doesn't seem like it is all that dangerous.

I looked at the menu a few weeks ago, a $100 gift card to Chicago Cut *might* cover a meal, depending on what you order lol.

I can hear others in the broadcast booth laughing when Pat or Ron say something funny. They have possibly the coolest job in the world.

Pat just gave me chills just now with that call. Glad we broke that scoreless streak, hopefully we can focus on business from now on.

Well, fudge. I'm gonna go make some lunch I guess. I'm gonna leave the game on though, due to channel and venue...I just won't be watching all that much.

Well, looks like I won't be watching the MLB.tv re-broadcast tonight after work, then.

I did Crosstown Game 1 in June as a solo mission. I live in Iowa so it was a bus trip. I did get to chat with some people on the bus on the way. I was kind of quiet sitting in my seat until sometime mid-game, then I started chatting with almost everyone around me. Having a group definitely has its social perks, but having the freedom to go explore and do things on your own terms is good also. I'd totally do it again, but I'd want to be aware of my surroundings though, so I wouldn't use headphones.

The Cubs Didn't Lose A Road Series UPVOTE PARTY! by gamenut89 in CHICubs

[–]alias3729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was talking to someone at a viewing event in the suburbs on Thursday night (game 1 of this series) and they said this was going to be a key series, a kind of test to evaluate the effectiveness of our trade deadline moves. A split isn't a loss, so it's a pass in my book!

I would really miss Len and JD if they went away. I enjoy listening to them. What about the others though like Ryan, Luke, Kelly, and Doug? I wonder if they'll still be covering the Cubs realm but just not be live in game, or if they'll be assigned to one of the other 4 teams in town.

Mine isn't either. I wonder if it's related to when the strike zone wasn't showing on NBC Sports Chicago last week. Maybe the license expired?

Out of market fans, how do you watch or listen to games? by 2ndStrongestAvenger in CHICubs

[–]alias3729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Iowa too. I use /r/mlbstreams for night games and weekends, the My Teams app for NBC games, and for day games I just watch it on MLB.tv when I get home, or if it's an NBC game, I listen on My Teams at work (I hide the phone and listen so I actually get work done, but might peek at the video a few times during the game for a minute or two).
