Moe_Syzlak Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Well that was the single most frustrating experience of my life. I finally get admittance from the virtual waiting room and get 100 level tickets and then it gives me one minute to fill in all of my info (address, email, billing info). Needless to say I didn't beat the clock and it told me my tickets had been released and all were sold out. I tried again anyway and was able to get to standing room because the autofill was activated by my last attempt. At least I'm in, but giving you such a short amount of time to enter your info is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this does not end up in another curse, like the goat thing.Well had I known of the time limits, I would have created an account. But man, that was frustrating. I was in standing room for last year's single playoff game at Wrigley and the "seats" actually aren't all that bad. I just hope the result of the game is better than last year.

MattZ Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Since I am a Mets fan hanging onto life by a thread, I am going to focus on things that make me smile. Like this: Estranged former Yankee Roger Clemens was "heartbroken" when his former team left him out of Sunday night's Stadium-farewell festivities, which included a video montage honoring the Bronx Bombers' greatest pitchers - but not him, a relative told The Post yesterday. Clemens was sitting at home in hurricane-ravaged Texas, in front of a battery-operated television on his living room couch, when the team delivered a final crushing blow to its former star. Clutching wife Debbie's hand on one side and mother-in-law Jan Wild's on the other, Clemens tuned in to his final team's last home game hoping for some recognition for helping win two World Series titles, Wild said. But that Rocket never launched. When the team played the video celebrating its greatest players at every position, the steroid-scandal-scarred Clemens was nowhere to be seen. "Debbie and I held his hand while we watched the game, and he was heartbroken," said Wild, 70. "Not mad. He still loves baseball and the Yankees, but it was sad what they did to him." --New York Post Link to post Share on other sites

I declare shenanigans on someone. I would suspect that restoring a basic utility, such as electricity, would be a higher priority than cable. And if he was watching on a sat dish, what was powering that? Roger should shut the f*** up and quit trying to get people to feel sorry for him. Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Joe Torre's nose snubbed at closing of Yankee Stadium This is a greater grievance than the Clemens snub. Not surprised though, everyone knows Steinbrenner is a world-class dickweed who refuses to acknowledge anyone who does anything good for him. Link to post Share on other sites

Just a different term.Well, a generator could use a battery, but a generator suggests a gasoline engine or something like that. Battery doesn't (necessarily). Let's argue about i some more.
