NLCS lottery emails are out

by 100yearitch on Oct 2, 2008 4:29 PM CDT

Unfortunately I was not selected. Did anyone else get lucky? This is important because we WILL be in the NLCS. I predict a win tonight and then Rich Harden will win on Saturday. We'll come back home tied 2-2 and then wrap this up at home.

Lee, Fonzi and Soto will come out of their slumps tonight. Edmonds should also contribute some more offense tonight. This will give them the spark needed for at least one road win.

Missed out for the NLDS (but got SRO online for game 5), but got the opportunity for the NLCS. Here’s what it said —

Denied again.

I’m wondering if anyone outside of Illinois got selected for this round or for the NLDS.

Denied... but my father-in-law got in...

Let’s hope they release some tickets again like they did a few days after the NLDS lottery was over…

Man, i hate those overgrown 8th grader look alike Brewer fans.

denied

But I’m glad others are getting the chance. We lived in Orlando in 2003 and actually made it to Game 5, which was nice. (end result could’ve been nicer though)

Still waiting on mine...

1 out of 2 ain't bad

I lose.

Maybe I can pick up some scraps off Cubs.com, as I did for the NLDS.

Already on craigslist

Some jackoff is selling a password for $500. So aggravating.

DeeeNied

I just hope I really miss out.

the baseball gods sent me one heckuva wedding present

got married last weekend, and lo and behold, today I get an NLCS winner e-mail! They say good things come in threes, so that’s wedding, winning NLCS lottery, and number 3 would be a victory tonight!

Not to get ahead of ourselves

but I’d vote for number three being a WS win!

by 100yearitch on Oct 2, 2008 5:27 PM CDT up 0 recs

or we can just start the cycle of threes all over again...

Twice now...

I have yet to get a winner email or a denial email for both the LDS & the LCS…. I abided by their rules and only entered one email address, and I re-registered for the LCS after not hearing squat from the LDS lottery just in case I somehow mis-typed my email (which I would’ve had to done twice for the confimation entry). Think they’re just throwing out the emails that have zip codes not even remotely close to Chicago (which I’m a part of)? What’s the most long-distance location from Chicago that someone has gotten either a winning or denial email?… just curious.

120 miles here

wife and i both denied both rounds.

Check your deleted files

My comcast account all “.com” e-mails as spam and automatically moves them out of my inbox. Both times I had to look in the deleted files as the sender is cubs.com.

Plus my zip is 22553. 14 hour drive each way and I’d have done it with a smile.

No NLCS tickets for me…yet

Im in baby, hopefully we get there

anyone know the process, email just says I’ll get a password, but how exactly does it work. Is there a link on the email? and what happens after you put in a password, does it route to a specific game ?
