Where would you be if there was a World Series game 7 at Wrigley?
I was scrolling through a Sport Memorabilia site today and they had championship banners for all the World Series winners. I saw the one they had for the Cubs sporting a big 1907,1908.......i dont know whether to laugh or cry.

There's no option for the Cook County lockup, I see.
Because I would have been picked up on a drunk and disorderly conduct charge after game 6.
Judd Sirott is responsible for EVERYONE'S injury.
Bradley watch -- out 10 games of 36
CANNOT ANSWER THE POLL
since I would be with friends and family, but who knows where.
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
I also can't answer it because I haven't sprung for HDTV yet.
Also because I am an exploratory biounit sent here to convert human souls to rocket flying saucer fuel and transport it back to my home planet.

I know one thing....
No matter how mad I get at the Cubs at times…the thought of a World Series Win still gives me chills.
I didn't get the players I wanted in the offseason!! Hopefully I get what I want in the Regular Season---The World Series Trophy!! Go Cubbies!!

praying that MLB doesnt go on strike during the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded, no outs, tie game and Rami coming up to the plate.

game 7 AT wrigley...
would mean that the national league (under selig’s inept watch) would actually have to win the all-star game…
not sure which will take longer…that or a cubs appearance in the fall classic
It figures they'd both happen in the same year.
Judd Sirott is responsible for EVERYONE'S injury.
Bradley watch -- out 10 games of 36
and the Cubs would make the WS after the NL won the ASG

Sure he would

In '03, in a fit of excitement...
Had an apartment full of people in the front room watching game 4 of the NLCS. As soon as Rami tagged out what’s his face & ended the game, I jumped up and ran the length of the apartment, and back. When I returned, (after scaring the heck out of the cats, and guests), my roomie asked me what I would do to get tickets to the WS. I was so jacked up, I answered, “lie, steat, and cheal.” (Normally I am the most well-spoken, coherent person you can imagine. Ever since then, it has been a running joke with Goodie and I).

At Wrigley
At Wrigley after a sleepless night looking like something the cat dragged in after a sleepless night.
I have a feeling the night before a game 7 BCB would be very busy because I think none of us would be able to sleep.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.
I'd probably be standing on the sidewalk next to ballhawk crying and wearing a Theriot T-shirt.

Since we're dealing with fantasy here
I’d be at the plate having just won the game with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with a walk-off grand slam on an 0-2 count to overcome a 3 run deficit. After rounding the bases I’d be greeted at home plate by every single Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, sign a guaranteed contract for $500 Million dollars a year, have my agent work out a deal so I could keep the money but retire from baseball to spend the rest of my days with my harem on the island I just bought with the cubs money until I die from “overwork” at the ripe old age of 99.

Gotta be there
Physically I’d be at Wrigley.
Although fiscally I suspect I’d have to leave the game and head directly to the poor house.

Couldnt answer cause im a combination of three.
Dont have an HDTV, live in Wrigleyville, so I would be in my favorite bar to watch sports in, in Wrigleyville, on their HDTV. Probably means I’d be sitting at the bar at Goose Island. Nice big TV’s and noone with a chance to block my view.
would it be wrong
to bring a generator, set uip a big HDTV on Waveland and watch the game with many others who could not get in to Wrigley for various reasons?

Yes, that would be wrong.
Some jackass would just knock it over or mess with the settings. What you wanna do is get a nice, bright long-throw projector (say, a Runco SC-1) and hang a 20-foot screen on the outside wall on Sheffield. Then you put the projector in an upstairs window across the street, et voila! Instant drive-in Cubs!

Camping out in front of the batter's eye hole in RF

Alone
I think I would need to be alone in my own house as either way, win or lose, I would be an absolute wreck.
The game would be absolutely nerve-wracking unless we were up 23-0 throughout.
I love watching the Cubs during the season and dread watching them in the playoffs.
You think that lead is safe with our current bullpen?

That day
That day I’ll have to take off from work. A. I will not have slept the night before. B. I will be as jumpy and nervous as a cat and unable to do my work properly.
Won’t BCB be fun (in a good way) the night before a game 7?
On the day of game 1 I’m sure there will be a moment when we all think to ourselves “I’m going to be watching or going to see the Cubs in the World Series tonight.” and it will come crashing on us with the unbelievability of it all.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.
Not sure where I'd be,
but wherever I was, I’d almost certainly be heavily medicated.

After watching the Cubs in 6 world series games,
I’m not sure what kind of shape most people would be in going into game 7. It might be very ugly, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to find out!
Hey, it's a new century!
When I became a Cubs fan in the mid 90s
I ended up working in a backpacker hostel in Daytona Beach during my travels.
The manager there (Indians fan) told me if the Cubs ever made the world series he would get me a ticket somehow. We put it on paper and signed it off during a drunken moment at my going away party a year later which ive still got.
Sadly he died shortly afterwards, but if the Cubs ever made it i would fly over and soak up the atmosphere in Wrigleyville,knowing full well i would lack the money and contacts for a ticket.
I was all set to go in 2003 before the heartbreak occurred.

Hey, you really exist!
I’ve been told that there was another Australian BCBer, but this is the first time I’ve seen evidence with my own eyes.
I gather you’re an authentic Aussie who was introduced to the Cubs while backpacking in America?
I’m a fake Aussie myself — I finally have permanent residency here, but my accent is pure midwestern US.

My parents
My parents would be scouting out prices on a pony because they promised me when I was 6 when the Cubs won the world series I’d get a pony. I have informed them that I expect them to live up to that word.
I am now 40 so I’ve been holding that promise for 34 years.
Knowing my mom and Dad they will get me a stuffed pony or something like that.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.
At home, at a bar, at a friend's house
I dunno, but I’d watch, and prey to any gods who would listen for a win, even Cthulhu if it would help.
With my record at Wrigley, however, I would be a cruel and irresponsible Cub fan (and self-defeating) to actually show up anywhere in the city limits of Chicago. So, sadly, I would not be at Wrigley. I would be in California, keeping my cursed self far away from the place I would like to be most.
And I apologize for showing up for that Houston series last September. Really.
