Where do I spend my playoff time & money?

PrintI live in California and am trying to decide where to go to see CUBS playoff games. I saw just one game this year - Dempster's 12 strikeout win over Maddux at Wrigley. I purposely skipped west coast games this year to save travel and ticket money for the playoffs.
I don't think I can afford world series tickets, and I want more of a thrill than the division series, so I've narrowed my choices to NLCS. Road tickets are about half the price of Wrigley tickets. We're pretty close to confirming that we won't play PHI inthe first round - and I think we will play them in the NLCS. So I think these are my choices:
- Buy tickets now to both NLCS games 3 and 4 at PHI. If the CUBS don't make it then I have to deal with selling my game tickets. If PHI doesn't make it then I'll get ticket refunds but now I've got no game to see.
- Buy a ticket to NLCS game 2 at Wrigley.
So what do you suggest? Is it better to see just one game with your brethren win or lose? Or see two game amidst the enemy (I sat through two losses at Candlestick in '89 - not a lot of fun)?
THANKS!
John

Pick what you want
and hope for the best. I hope you have fun.
If you’ve never been to Wrigley for a playoff game then it may just be your choice. I fear though a Cubs ticket will be more than 2x anywhere else, except Boston of course. But that won’t happen until the Cubs 3rd series this post season. :^)

If things break your way...
… maybe you can see Cubs/Dodgers games in LA during the NLCS. I believe those games are still not yet sold out.

That's True ... or maybe NLDS?
I guess I don’t see the Dodgers winning a series against PHI. Another cosideration is if the CUBS play the Dodgers in the NLDS and we win the first two games, then game three tickets will probably be real cheap – and intra-CA flights are pretty cheap.
a win is a win.
Just go to Wrigley.
Win or lose – you’ll remember it for the rest of your life.

Wow, you must really mean that.

Stay away from Philly
It would be a special time and it would be ruined by the fans there. It is just not an enjoyable venue for visiting fans. Take my word.
when asked about his performance against the Reds - Lieber said the following
"Well obviously I made some bad pitches today, left to many over the plate and they got good wood on the ball. The only good thing was that I was able to get back into the clubhouse earlier then I planned so I could eat."
