UPDATE FROM AL -- Added to the front page so everyone will see this. Thanks for posting it!
Update: Ticket Info here! (Thanks to Neifi Puppy for providing the link!)
cst_cubs Finally. Cubs and Stros to play in Milw, 7:05 sunday, 1:05 monday. Will play 3rd game 9/29 if needed. 4 minutes ago from txt
Gordo hasn't added ticket info yet, but I will update as soon as it comes across the wire, or at least as soon as Twitter updates.
And heres hoping the 3rd game is of NO importance... I really don't want to make it up that late!!
Update: Looks like McLane finally came around to make this happen:
Minute Maid Park in Houston avoided serious damage and has been deemed playable, but not even Astros officials suggest any longer that games should be played amid the hardships area residents are enduring in the aftermath of Ike.
``We’d hate to play our game in Houston if there’s still lots of suffering in the city,’’ McLane told the Houston Chronicle. ``We could get out and play somewhere else.
``We don’t want to play a game if folks are stressing with their homes. The safety of our fans is most important.’

And an excerpt:
The three-game series between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros, originally scheduled for this weekend in Houston, was in limbo because of Hurricane Ike. But Major League Baseball has found a home for the series, it seems.
Two of the three games were transferred to Milwaukee, according to a high-ranking Major League Baseball official. The teams will play the first game at Miller Park on Sunday at 7 p.m., ET. The second game is scheduled for Monday at 2 p.m., ET.

Start your engines
Wish I could go but a little too far from Chicago.
If Astros had not been so stubborn they could have played in Atlanta or some place just a little less likely to be swarmed by Cub fans. At this point sensible Brewer fans will root for the Cubs.

Not tomorrow's game
That would conflict with ESPN, UNLESS ESPN wants to change games and IF it rains in Chicago then
this WILL be the ESPN game. Hmm anyone think someone paid off Astros owner to go along with this ?
Very interesting.

I believe MLB can give an exemption to the teams that will allow them to televise the game locally.
I believe this occurred in 2003 when the Cubs were rained out on Friday and had to play a double header on Saturday. The teams were allows to televise the games as “The best interest of baseball” clause was invoked because of the playoff implication that was involved.
Hey, it's a new century!

This is almost as good as
brining the series to chicago. Astros fans are going to pitch a fit because Miller is pretty much Wrigley north and they have so much farther to go, but hey. having the best record in the league has to have some benefits doesn’t it? I know that isn’t the reason the games were put in Miller, but it seems as good a reason as any. I would agree with Doggie, not only will we have our people from Chicago, but most Brewers fans will also be rooting for us.
Time is an illusion--lunch time doubly so.
One of the best things is that Berkman and Company have to drag their sorry @sses
from Houston to Wrigley Field North and pretend that they are the home team. HA HA! I wish I was close enough to drive up I-94 and give those guys a welcome to Wrigley Field North.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Reason
Miller has a dome and it is available.
"I am not ashamed to say I love Greg Maddux" - Jim Hendry
No double header ! This is great news for the Cubs...
….and easy travel as well.
This has worked out very well from a baseball perspective.

Tomorrow's game is NOT going to be on TV
the four letter network from Bristol CT has exclusive rights for Sunday night. And whatever game they have scheduled is the only baseball game on TV tomorrow night.
The 2nd game between the Brewers and Phillies is not going to be broadcast because this and people here are throwing a fit.
Yes but see above
The game is supposed to be Sox/Tigers but if THAT is a rain out want to guess what they broadcast ?
"I am not ashamed to say I love Greg Maddux" - Jim Hendry
by Doggie Stalker on Sep 13, 2008 9:13 PM CDT up reply actions
I hope they broadcast it
ESPN normally would not have a backup game when the Sunday night game gets rained out? It sounds like the Sox/Tigers is going to be rained out tomorrow night. The Phils/Brewers play tomorrow night along with the Cubs/Astros. They now have backup games to broadcast.
Knowing my luck, I’ll get the Phils/Brewers
Well they would have to move the Phillies game back 30 minutes
Which they could do but I strongly suspect IF the Sox get rained out , the Cubs are the ESPN game.
Pretty easy to get the crew to Milwaukee from Chicago if they know the situation early in the day.

They could do it that
How early would the Sox call the game for them to do this?
Thats not correct
The Rangers and A’s played a Sunday Evening game earlier this Summer, and that was on FOX Sports Net whatever and was even on EI

I could be wrong
But I think the Rangers are exempt from this rule because they play so many games at night during the summer to avoid the heat during the day
that is correct...the Rangers are exempt

Please post ticket info as soon as available
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
Any word on ticket sales?
I definitely going to go if I can get some.
My son
attends UW Oshkosh. He’s going, and I am SO jealous. Wrigley North? Hell yeah! That’ll teach Houston to build a park in hurricane country!
Anyone find a link where to buy tickets?
It just says “Tickets will go on sale at 9 p.m. CT tonight” on the Brewer’s site…..but I can’t find a link to actually buy the tickets….
Thanks, Neifi!
I’ll add this link to the main post so people can find it easily!

Jeez
Where you “shocked” that there was gambling at “Rick’s Cafe” ?
You have to figure they plotted all along how to make the most money out of this. Get a close
to desperate Cub fans willing to spend as you can. Per above note they appear to ONLY be
selling the MOST expensive seats.When those sell out I suspect they will add the cheaper ones.

Have to make up that
money to the Astros owner somehow!!
24 hours notice, how many Cubs fans go to the Sunday and Monday games?
Um what is the capacity of Miller ?
Also I figure there should a few hundred Brewer fans there to cheer us on.
"I am not ashamed to say I love Greg Maddux" - Jim Hendry
by Doggie Stalker on Sep 13, 2008 9:32 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm going with about
15,000-20,000 Cubs fans.
I would be surprised but not shocked if there are more than that there.
According to the press release...
… they are only selling the first two levels of tickets. I think that would amount to about 25,000-27,000 if they sell all of them… which I assume they will.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
MLB set precedent in 2004 and 2007 when games were relocated to sell tickets cheap.
THAT’S why I thought they would do the same for these games.
Seems like price gouging to me.

Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!
The Brewers did not waste any time marketing this
I just got an e Mail from them re the tickets because I had purchased tickets for the end of the season series. What does seem odd to me is that they are underestimating demand and only selling the expensive seats for now.
"I am not ashamed to say I love Greg Maddux" - Jim Hendry
I got the email too!
I’m really surprised they’re selling tickets using the Brewers pricing structure. I would think they would sell tickets cheap like they have in the past for relocated games.
I wonder if they are TRYING to keep attendance low.

yeah...$35 per ticket for section 209.
oh well, hopefully the Cubs will make it worth the trip!
by Scrapptastic on Sep 13, 2008 9:32 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't see how it's unbelievable at all.
The Brewers know damn well they can sell out a Cubs game in Miller Park.
Yeah, it is a little different from staging a Marlins game in US Cellular
My next sig line quote will also be from Lou Piniella, and the first word will be either "Look", or "Listen", followed by a comma.
Yup - just got a pair in section 228
It took a few tries due to “high transaction volume”. I’m starting in Gurnee so heck, I’m halfway there – Miller Park isn’t much farther than Wrigley, probably about the same distance from home as Comiskey. Actually my first try was “best available” and they offered the $140 behind-the-plate seats. I’m sure they’re great — I’ve enjoyed Dugout Boxes at Wrigley a couple of times — but I’ll be happy in the “loge box”.
I'd imagine the Astros get the ticket revenue
and maybe the Brewers get concessions and parking revenue but is there any confirmation either way?
Old Style is the nectar of life.
Nope.
But I think you’re probably right.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
Shouldn't it be the normal distribution of 60% for home team and 40% for visitors?
I thought that was the usual accounting for ticket revenue….

Will Monday’s game be on WGN or CSN? I hope WGN so I am not blacked out.

Monday's game will be on CSN as originally scheduled.

I thought Monday
was originally a day off?
When you're eight games behind, it's like eight miles; when you're eight games in front, it's like eight inches. ~ Ron Santo
Hopefully the price gouging will give the powers-that-be
a little more inclination to set aside some of that money towards a hurricane relief fund.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
tix and hurricane relief
They should open up the whole stadium and let the tickets in certain areas for $15 with a portion going to hurricane relief.
"You would never guess that a little innocent walk like that could lead to two runs" -- Dusty Baker
I don't see why it should be considered price gouging. It could be the most talent on the field at one time for this season at Miller Park.
It’s not like they are only going to use part of the facility or play minor leaguers (for the most part). I’ve heard here that in similar situations tickets were very cheap which would certainly be a nice collateral benefit but these should be “real” games in every sense of the word and cost appropriately. my $.02.

by Weeghman Park on Sep 13, 2008 9:55 PM CDT up reply actions
I consider it price gouging because MLB is going against the precedent
they set in 2004 and 2007 when they moved games to a different city. I believe they sold tickets very cheap in both instances.
Hey, it's a new century!
by cowsarecool220 on Sep 13, 2008 10:01 PM CDT up reply actions
Keep in mind
That the precedent was set with AL teams with no near-Regional connection. With the short distance between Milwaukee and Chicago, it’s pretty easy to see why the prices are higher.
Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?
so will the third game be played if necessary?
2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
On Sept. 29 (if necessar)
If necessary, the Cubs and Astros will make this game on Monday, Sept. 29 in Houston if the result can impact National League playoff races.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Here's a weird scenario
Houston down a half game in the wild card on the last day of the season to both the Brewers and Phillies. If they win, playoffs could get delayed to Thursday.
Old Style is the nectar of life.
Line up for Sept 29
1b Hoff
SS Ronnie
2B Fonty
3B MacGhee
LF-Ward
CF PIE
RF Fuld ( got to add somebody)
C- Hill
P Guzman
And they beat Astros 10-2 which clinches the WC for the METS ( Phillies having passed them for
the NL East Championship and Brewers long fallen out of contention.

Wells gets the start
I’ve been saying all along that’s Randy Wells first major league start. Lou’s got to get him into a game sometime.
How many more home games does Houston have remaining? I think I counted 3 but I'm sure I interpereted the secret code correctly.
Hell, they might not play another game in MMP this season, even if they get in WC slot. Too bad to be them right now. This whole cluster fork in the road did not have to be executed so baddassadly. Pick an available facility that won’t be facing its own weather challenges and just move in like you do in Super Bowl nuetral location and play a game.

Cross your fingers that it rains enough in a specific area on the South side of Chicago
so the White Sox/ Tigers game is rained out and ESPN switches coverage to Wrigley Field North.
Then cross the rest of your fingers, arms, legs and anything else you want that they forget to tell Joe Morgan about the switch…
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
On another happy note....
Cardinals lose to the Pirates in 12 innings: 7-6
Stick a fork in em’…..they’re done.
yup, they have no shot at coming back, and the division races are shaping to be what I predicted it to be
I thought the NL Central at the beginning of the year would go as:
Cubs
Brewers
Astros
Cardinals
Pirates
Reds
pretty close to what it actually is
2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
Cubs need to overwhelm the Astros
Two DECISIVE victories. The Astros have had our number too many times. I’m tired of making the Moehlers, Backes and Wolfs of the world look like Cy Young against the Cubs. Cubs need to go to Miller Park and whup the Stros.
This isn't 1969...is this 1969?...this isn't 1969, is it?
If by decisive
you mean, the Cubs score at lesat one more run than the Astros, then I’m with ya. Just win.

Those are the "standard" prices...
The Cubs/Astros games are priced at the “Marquee” prices—like always when the Cubs are in town.

Miller Park is a wonderful ballpark. I really like the joint and try to catch several games a year up in Milwaukee. Not just when the Cubs are in town. Ticket prices at Miller Park are higher than you might think. Not sure if the list above is the going rate or not. I seem to recall paying $38 a seat for a decent outfield box.

Actually...
Fresno is not really wine country (Take it from a Cali. resident :-) ) — it’s in the Central Valley which is a huge agricultural area, but California’s main wine areas are the Napa Valley, which is north of SF, and the Central Coast (Paso Robles to Santa Barbara, “Sideways” country). Fresno is more known for what it does to its grapes, turning them into raisins more than into wine. ;-)
Cheap wine country you mean
The good stuff is grown closer to the coasts and the mountains. No one in California would call Fresno Wine Country. It’s Raisin Country, if you want to know the truth.
Gallo is from Modesto
a little farther North in the Central Valley (San Joaquin Valley, officially, IIRC).
Well, not exactly
Fresno is more iceberg lettuce and cattle country. Wine country is further to the north. There are days in the summer where the entire valley (to which the green V refers to) smells like manure. Not exactly “beautiful” country…

WGN-TV was scheduled to carry the Sunday Cubs-Astros game at 1:05p. No television decision has been made by Major League Baseball as to who or if Sunday night’s game will be televised. Monday afternoon’s game will be carried by Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
Obviously, we are hopeful the Commissioner’s Office and ESPN will allow WGN-TV to have access to the ESPN Sunday night window so Cubs fans will be able to enjoy the game. At this point, we don’t know what the decision will be.

Kremblas didn’t win this year because the Brewers brought up a couple of their prospects (like last year—Ryan Braun) and gave up the rest of them for Sabathia, and there’s no one else left in AAA! :-)

Day game tomorrow.
Go Cubs

If its on WGN it wont be on the network just Chicago.
Why not on CSN? They have scheduled a rebroadcast of Michigan/Notre Dame. I’m sure they’d broadcast Cubs if possible.
Go Cubs
One thing...
I want to know is what factors played into Milwaukee as the site. Money always comes in but I’m pretty sure the Astros can’t be happy about a “home” game at Wrigley North and I wonder if all their continuous waffling about having to play in Houston eliminated other potentially more neutral sites like Atlanta or KC, STL.
I just hope the Cubs don’t play like they did on their last home stretch.
I'm guessing it was centered on the fact
that Atlanta, KC, and STL will all be getting rain today as after-effects of Ike and the last thing they would want to do is get the rescheduled games rained out or postponed. Also, the Cubs would have thrown a fit if MLB made them travel west to somewhere like Phoenix when they originally didn’t have to travel out of timezone and are now sacrificing their Monday off-day and will have to travel. Milwaukee was the only place that fit the same time zone requirement and could guarantee 2 full games…
I'm starting to agree with Brenly,
I think new baseball stadiums should have domes. Miller Park has come in handy a few times.
Also, I thought this was going to be much worse for the Cubs, double header on Monday coming home really late, tired for the Brewers series. This worked out as well as it could for them, plus a nice little 2 day rest heading to the postseason.
Lets do it Cubbies
Which is why...
… the Minnesota franchise has put itself in jeopardy by not building a retractable dome in Minneapolis for the Twins. They are going to have horrid weather in April and May and risk snowouts.

And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman
That is a terrible decision for the Twins,
I wonder what the thinking is behind that and how they are justifying their choice.
Lets do it Cubbies
The thinking is
that the taxpayers weren’t happy paying for any stadium. They finally coughed up the money to build one but told the Twins, owned by the richest man in Minnesota, that if he wanted a roof, he’d have to pay for it himself. Pohlad, who’s constantly complaining about how his kids can’t survive on a five billion dollar inheritance, said he couldn’t afford to add a roof. So they’re building a stadium without one.
It can be added later, but it would cost a lot more than it would if they added it during construction.
Interesting
They will be adding 1 later, no doubt, at least they left themselves that option.
Lets do it Cubbies
Except that my info was out of date
The old plan was to have a place to add a roof later if needed—you can see the stadium with the roof here. After all the pictures with the roof, the last picture on that page is the current design, which you can see completely omits the tracks for adding a roof.
Now I would never say it would be impossible to add a roof to the new stadium later, but it would not be easy.
Here are other renderings on the Twins website,
http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/min/photogallery/year_2007/month_04/day_11/c1892986.html
Your right, this design makes is nearly impossible to add a roof.

the lower deck sells out. If they don’t open the upper deck they don’t have to staff it, which is probably why they didn’t put them on sale. They did the same thing for the minor league game at Wrigley this year, UNTIL the lower deck sold out.
Of course, they had a little more than 24 hours to sell tickets to that one…
