Where will you be tonight at 5:30pm CT?

I thought I'd see what everyone is doing tonight for the game.  Last year I watched the first 2 games at a local sports bar.  The atmosphere was great, but the outcomes were not.  For game 3 I decided to stay home, alone, and watch the disaster unfold. 

So where will you be tonight when Demp throws that first pitch?  At the game? Wrigleyville? At home? listening on the radio at work? Let's hear it.

I will be watching a lot of the game at home, but I have to play softball tonight at 7 so I won’t get to see the whole game. Blah. I should fake an injury.

I tell ya, they couldn’t have picked a more perfect time to keep me from following the first hour or so of this game.

Home

It is a 6:30pm start here on the east coast, so getting in front of a TV in time should not be a major problem. I actually did snag a ticket to the Phillies first playoff game back on Friday (second chance ticket sale winner), but the 4+ hour drive to Philly on a Wednesday didn’t make sense if I was going to have to find a sports bar following the game to watch the Cubs, then drive home to go to work the next day (sans sleep)

BTW, I’ll email my print at home ticket for Brewers-Phillies Game 1 to anybody that wants it.

Home, in front of my computer.

Unfortunately, it’s the only legal way to see all playoff games in Puerto Rico, because idiot Bud sold the broadcast rights to a fly-by-night local channel that has not broadcast one game since last night. You could only watch the Sox clinch the division in your computer (I use a Slingbox and get my signal from Florida); the TBS signal is being blacked out. Only pirate Dish boxes work. And then the media companies complain about it. Do they still wonder why people get them?

This place is horrible at this time every year. I got fed up, set up a Slingbox and solved my problem the legal way.
