Talk Zone / Any way around blackouts on MLBTV?

« on: April 06, 2009, 02:30:04 pm »

I am in Chicago but work in tax and will be stuck in the office all day and night the next 3 days.  Have MLBTV but will get balcked out! I assume I will have to listen to the game on the radio but thought I would ask the question.

I agree. It's just frustrating to see games like tonight and last night.  The astros went out west and looked decent.  They come home (Where they have been good of late) for 7 vs. two of the worst teams in the league and lay a turd two nights in a row!  The story of the season.  Just so painful to watch.

This would give us 85 wins.  I think 85 wins is what it will take to have a shot at the central.  I will never give up on the mud & blood!!!  Need to have something trigger the boys like Barrett and the scrubs did back in 05'

If you stare at it, than cross your eyes and blink you can make her change directions.  Although crossing your eyes allows you to see 4 sets of tits which is a added perk!

I made the trip from Chicago to Houston to take in a cub,stros series in I beleive 97'.  After the game a buddy and I went to a bar on the advice of some local fans and ran into Bags and Nevin.  I shook his hand and chatted a little about the game.  Bags was totally cool!! Than my buddy and proceeded to have a few beers with Nevin and shoot the shit for about an hour.  He noticed my buddy was a cub fan and informed us that all the cub players were at a local strip club called Richards.  So, my buddy drug me to the place.  As we approached the door we quickly realized it was a little more upper scale and since we were dressed like crap, we wondered if we would get in to the place.  My buddy happen to be wearing a cubs pullover at the time and the bouncer assumed he was a player and let us in.  We quickly noticed the place had been privatley set up for players only.  So, we spent the night drinking and getting lap dances for free, all the while rapping with Mark Grace.  The next day we arrived to the dome early for BP and Nevin saw us and invited us down to the front row next to the dugout and proceeded to have a 20 minute conversation about the night we had at Richards.  Pretty cool weekend in Houston!!!

Sit on the first base/right field line.  (Scalp a ticket)  Take the O'Hare blueline el to Addison.  Than take a Addison bus(they come all the time) east to Wrigley. Be sure to buy a cta train card.  You will be able to buy it right at the O'Hare station.  5 bucks should cover the ride to and from.

My personal favorite by far is Peqods - outstanding!!  although it's more deep dish as opposed to stuffed.  For stuffed Lou's is the best and UNO (the original in the gold coast) is good also!

I've lived in Chicago for 15 years.  The best pizza hands down is Pequod's at 2207 N. Clybourn.  It is located on the corner of Webster and Clybourn.  You will love it.  Be sure to order deep dish - none of the thin crap!!! - I would out it up vs. any pizza in the country!!!

Anyone know if and where there may be wall art to buy?  Specifically pictures of the w/s or game clinching National league shots.  I'm looking for some good wall art from 2005 for my office.

My wife doesn't get it!  I try and explain that I have been a fan since 5 years old.  I am now 34.  When I lived in Iowa I can remember trying to tune in all the games on the am radio.(I could get Pitt,Cincy,Stl,Mil on the am dial)  I never missed a game. I started following the astros at 5 b/c I liked the rainbow jersey's (At 5 kids like that stuff) I have been a fan ever since.  I have never waivered on this teams quest for a title.  I am not waivering now!!!  Go out and fuck'em in their minds Roy!!!!!!
