Phillies vs. Cubs
6 June 2008 in Daily Living, Entertainment
Now that I have invisible friends in Chicago who would prefer to attend dance recitals and infect me with tuberculosis rather than entertain me and my ex-gf with their antics, I feel it is appropriate to engage them in a wager.
The currently first place Phillies will be heading to Chicago to trounce the currently first place Cubs on the last weekend in August. It’s a four game home stand for the Cubs. Since both teams are in first place in their respective divisions, and the Phils have to play in Chicago, I am willing to wager that the Phils will win at least 2 of the 4 games. The specifics of the wager to be discussed.

Sweet, I’m in. I can’t turn down a bet.
The Cubbies are having quite the season
and since they won’t yet be in their inevitable
September slump, I think this is a safe bet.
In fact, I think I will look into tickets so I can
watch myself win said bet in person.
So. What are the specifics, eh?
And what’s up with the pic? Not a damn Cub in sight.
I propose that, at a minimum, the loser must post on their respective blog how great they think the other team is and how foolish they were to believe their sucky team could ever hope to match the winning team’s awesomeness.
In addition, if it can be can arranged that I can travel to Chicago for the weekend (preferably Saturday) game, then the loser must pick up all expenses for said game day festivities (tickets, meals, drinks, etc). I will, of course, pay my own airfare and hotel expenses.
Alright. I am quite certain our “hubbies” will be just fine with us meeting a guy from the internet at the Cubby Bear. In fact, mine might even pack my bags for me.
What’s the Cubby Bear?
Hey, it was your suggestion that I come out for a Cubs game some time. I doubt your “hubbies” have anything to fear from a 40-something balding guy with a chain saw and an attitude.
I was joking. Jeez.
The Cubby Bear is a legendary bar on the corner by Wrigley Field. You have to hit it for a couple beers before the game.
So was I. You DO need to worry!
I don’t drink beer. Is that going to be a problem? Can’t a man enjoy a scotch and a ballgame?
You don’t drink beer? Scotch, really? Hmmm, you are a bit more refined than I.
Tell you what, I’ll shotgun a beer and you can sip a cognac with your little pinkie in the air.
Sound fair?
