Wednesday Afternoon Photo Caption Fun

There isn't much Cubs news today, and we're still a week away from the first spring training game (a week from tomorrow, actually).

So -- caption this photo. No prizes, just some amusement.

Here’s the deal. The “Al” at VEB was a leftover from the pre-SBN 2.0, when people could have the same user name at different blogs. That isn’t me, but that person can’t use “Al”, either.

And neither can anyone else. Nice try, though.

We’re knights of the round table, we dance whene’re we’re able.
We do routines, and chorus scenes with footwork imp-e-cable;
We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and spam alot.

We’re knights of the round table, our shows are for-mid-able
But many times, we’re given rhymes, that are quite un-sing-able
We’re opera mad in Camelot, we sing from the diaphragm a-lot!

In war we’re tough and able,
Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable,
Between our quests, we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable,
It’s a busy life in Camelot:

Question

I am trying to get tickets to the July 21 game between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros at Wrigley Field.

It is not letting me buy the tickets. Instead, I am getting told that “We’re sorry, but the venue’s ticketing server is currently offline for scheduled maintenance. Please try your request again later.”

What should I do?

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.

How long is this “scheduled maintenance” going to last, and why can’t I buy tickets while it is going on?

Keep in mind I will have probably less than zero chance of getting online again until tomorrow night, given a snow removal order and massive computer problems I have been having at home.

I would not worry about it

It’s not like they are going to have a rush on July 21 tickets.

seems to be working if it is truly urgent.

There goes one over the fence...a Tru-Link fence.

Not too urgent.

Just, I had everything set up to buy them tonight. My home Macintosh Computer’s hard drive crashed on me last week, so my internet access is severely limited (hence why I haven’t been online as much).

Also, there is a snow removal order, I have to remove my car from the parking lot tomorrow, and it must be gone by 10 AM, thanks to 12-18 inches of snow that we got today.

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.

Go Pack!

Like Stalker said, you should be ok another night.

I sure hope so.

I’ve been trying to get tickets for an hour already. No joke.
