Cubs Skybox

Brave man.

I hear Morgan wants to manage. [not really]

Should have come in and taken stuff out your Skybox. Got invited to one a few years back but turned it down. I am a hopeless purist and just don’t have any interest. Glad you had a blast GREAT win.

Just kidding. Congards and since the cubs won you have to go back tomorrow, too.

I bet that view is really kool, i had the chance of seeing Nolan Ryan strike out the side in the first, from the same view, here in Texas once. And George W. was there!

late 1996, I got invited by my boss to sit in WGN’s box. We went to the game and in the middle innings they took us into the radio booth. I found myself standing next to Harry! I was completely star struck and just kinda stuttered at him. He signed my ticket and so did Pat and Ron!!! I’ll never forget it.

my MIL’s company close to the ballyard goes annually. Since I didn’t have tix to the game each time, I went. Not the same thing as the bleachers, especially on a bright sunny day.

On the pseudo flip side, a colleague’s wife used to work at the ballpark. She often got a $200 Aramark card and let us use it. Suffice to say, me and three buddies ran that card dry before the 5th inning. Plus it was in the bleachers. So in essence we got freebie concessions AND got to sit in the bleachers. That’s probably the best of all worlds.

…that you were going to be in the skybox. He could have fought his way through security, and then you two could have gone at it like Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris in “Way of the Dragon.” I envision the fight ending like the conclusion to “The Dark Knight,” with BlueMike cackling “PITCHING IS KING! SORIANO SUCKS!” as he plummets to the seats below.

the suite/skybox is nothing to write home about. Here are some pics of my first and only chance at one a few weeks back (8/5/08). The coolest things were the view and the cushioned seats. It was also a little nerve wrecking walking across the platform where you enter all suites. Hope you guys don’t mind the pics here, figure it wont be as busy as a game thread to slow it down much.

As with you, the Cubs blew a big lead and Harden lost his chance at a W when Home Run Howry gave up a 2 run bomb to Carlos Lee. The Cubs did come back and beat the Astros 11-7 to make it an all around great experience.

“It got a little cooler when Hendry dropped by and they spoke while Walt ate for about an hour.”

WOW. That’s some staying power Jocketty has. I’m usually full after about 10-15 minutes. Kobayashi and Joey Chestnutt have nothing on Walt. Mahalo
