The BCB postseason drinking game

by MerlinDog on Oct 1, 2008 7:42 AM CDT

OK, so a good drinking game is always fun, so let’s do a drinking game for the Cubs playoff games. I’ll start off with a few rules and everyone can feel free to add as many as you like.

Every time the “curse” of the Billy goat is mentioned take a drink
Every time 1908 is mentioned take a drink
Every time that poor fan that didn’t do anything different then any other fan would have done is mentioned take a drink
Every time they show footage of Alou attempted catch and said fan take two drinks
Every time they show the black cat at Shea take two drinks.
Every time they show the ball going between Leon Durham’s legs take a drink.
Every time they show a graph or timeline of how things have changed since 1908 take three drinks.

I say this in jest because if you follow these rules you’d be drunk before game started and I want to be sober to enjoy this Cubtober. I know we are all going to be sick of hearing the same crap from TBS & Fox so lets at least have some fun with it and make the best out of it. I know I will be drinking when it’s all over, either to celebrate or drown my sorrows.

I drank during last year's playoffs

and that didn’t work out too well. Gonna take this one off.

You wouldn't

be as drunk as if this series was on Fox. Though hopefully, the Cubs will get that chance.

In college we used to play the Tony LaRussa drinking game because whenever the Cubs played the Cardinals on Fox or ESPN they usually showed TLR an abnormally large number of times. Whenever he showed up on screen you take a shot. If he shows up while the announcer is talking about how great he is and how he’s an outside the box manager then you take two.

This game will surely lead to acute alcohol toxic shock poisoning

Putting money on not getting through the second inning with these rules.

Putting money on not getting through the pregame show with these rules.

Of course

There is no way we could follow these rules. I posted this in jest because if you followed these rules you’d be in a coma by the 4 inning

Fair enough

If you watch the pregame.

Won’t see any of this on TV.

Mine

1. Everytime the Dodgers get a hit a BCBer panicking.

2. Everytime Zambrano dares not be robotic some idiot whines about maturity.

Thngs of worth are worth fighting for regardless of the odds.

Yeah, but that bonehead that called the ChiSox game

last night is calling the Cubs series. That in of itself is able drive up one’s BAL beyond .08 !

Thanks but not.

I have the feeling I’m gonna need to be fully cognizant for every pitch. Hopefully a celebratory drink will be in order afterwards, but not during.

I wish I could take credit
