Headed to Wrigley tomorrow for my first Cubs game, First MLB game and taking my dad for his birthday. It is also his first time at Wrigley.
Cubs are playing the Pirates and coming off of losing a double header on Wednesday. Game is at 1:20 central on Sat.
Who wants to put a 5er on the game? I've got the cubs smoking the the pirates!
Any takers?

    No, because I wholeheartedly want this to be the best experience possible for you.

    It will be because I will be with my dad enjoying the game no matter what. We will be stopping by a B&M on the way back that has a HUGE selection. Plus, we have seats in the main stands so we have a roof if it rains, snows or gets to hot!

    Sounds like a great time. Very jealous. I'm a HUGE Yankee fan and it is going to be a very long year.

    Awesome. I finally got back to Wrigley last year after not being there since 2005. Love that place. Have an Old Style for me. Go Cubs.

    So jealous. Wrigley is one of the last of the great old ballparks.
    And one of the few old ballparks I have not been to.

    I would take the bet but I hate both the pirates and cubs

    Only reference I have is the Mariners , their historic run in 2001 was always compared to Cubs season from a caziliĺlion years ago

    Headed to the Windy City! 52 degrees and cloudy today. Cubs spanked the pirates 9-4 last night!
    Any last minute takers?

    Mike got to see a great game. Here are some stats from Jake's last 26 starts. Amazing.

    Congrats on getting to see a great win. I'm a Buccos fan, but no denying the 2016 Cubbies are the real deal. At least we managed to take the last game and salvage a little dignity.
