Anyone have tickets to Aug. 28 - Sandberg game

Hello all,

I have been reading the Cubs blogs for the past couple of years but never posted on them before.  Al, I love this page, as it has freqent updates and the cartoons are great.  I'm "pathetic Cubs fan" (according to my Card's rooting friends) stuck here in Mid-Missouri.  I grew up a Cubs fan in northern Missouri thanks to WGN.  I got more Cubs game than any other, besides Braves games, and as an impressionable 7 year old began rooting for the Cubbies.  I grew up idolizing the likes of Sandberg, Dawson, Maddux, Grace, etc.  Watching Sandberg play flawless D, hit homers, doubles, and steal bases provide me with my fondest memories of childhood.  Naturally, when I saw that #23 was going to be retired I wanted to be there to witness it.  Blame it on naivety, but I had never had to bother with the fight for tickets.  Or rather yet, I have never seen the Cubs live when they were contenders and everyone wanted to see them.  So, when the wife gave the go ahead to pursue tickets for the Aug. 28 game I was sorely disappointed that all the tickets were sold out.  I completely understand why someone visiting the BCB wouldn't want to part with tickets to this game, but I'm on my hands and knees hoping that someone might have extra tickets for this game.  Please God, help me! ;)

I, like everyone esle, can't wait for the season to begin and the 1st televised spring game next Monday.  From the land of Cubs fans far and few, I say GO CUBBIES! I look forward to following this site throughout the season to provide some excitement during those dull summer afternoons at work!
