Cubs Playoff Ticket Lottery

The Cubs opened up registration for playoff tickets at Wrigley Field today. Basically you register online and winners are "randomly" selected to be able to purchase tickets for either the NLDS and NLCS (you may get lucky and win both). If you're chosen, you are limited to one game and two tickets for that series. You have until noon CST on September 19th to register for any possible NLDS games at Wrigley.

For those with more experience with this sort of thing, if you are a "winner", are you guaranteed tickets or just the right to enter the Virtual Waiting Room?

5 game lead, 23 to go for both teams. Cubs go 10-13, Brewers need to go 15-8. Unfortunately, considering the schedule disparity, that is a little too likely for both teams for me to get too excited yet.

Even if the Cubs play the Angels and I could get tickets for the Anaheim games...I'd still go to Chicago to see the first World Series game at wrigley in 63 years. I'm lucky enough to have a step-father who has had season tickets at wrigley, 8 rowns behind homee plate...so I can't miss that opportunity. Unfortunately, one way or another, he won't have those tickets for too many years.

Z scheduled for MRI tomorrow. According to WSCR.

Reporting from WSCR- Z was scheduled for MRI today, but Z left. (!!!) Lou-Dr Griswald(Sparky) examined Z today, Z left before MRI. press-Was Z in pain? Lou-pause-Don't know talk to Carlos. press-Was it shoulder or elbow? Lou-pause- Don't know talk to Carlos. jacos~Very confusing~ Lou said Carlos was not available for MRI today. It was availabe but he did not take it. Lou sounds a little angry. Lou will talk to doctor this evening, has not talk to Carlos. Lou won't really know until MRI. WHY NO MRI, CARLOS!??!?!? WSCR making it sound like Carlos is being evasive. He is suppose to be at ball park, but press has not seen him.

It was a questionable call that I think easily could have gone either way...but there is just something wrong with a retro-active no hitter, so I'm glad they upheld it. My Prediction: Cubs will have clinched the division before the last weekend...and CC will throw a no-hitter against the Cubs scrubs on the last Friday of the season, allowing the Brewers to clinch the Wild Card

I hope not, I like the Cubs dueling no hiter streaks. The call was pretty bad, and so was MLB's excuse for not overturning it. Essentially it came down to him trying to barehand it. If you try to barehand it, it's automatically an 'exceptional play' - even if you don't have to barehand, which was the case here.

Sounds stupid to skip an MRI, but you have to wonder what guys in 1908 did. They probably just waited until their arm quit hurting and started pitching again. I'm not taking sides, but sometimes small pains can be blown out of proportion.

In reply to by Ryno

Pain's not the issue in my mind...I believe Z is capable of pitching through pain. But when the results are so bad as they have been with Z, with velocity way down....doesn't seem beneficial to keep parading him out there. Meanwhile...the Cubs communication seems to be lacking these days as Z and Lou are clearly not on the same page, and Harden and Hendry/Lou are saying very different things. I don't like this one bit.

I glanced at Rob's edit "Zambrano did see Dr. Gryzlo..." and for some reason I read it as "Zambrano died". Took me like 1 or 2 seconds to refocus and get it right. Weird. Soto an Oriole didn't even give me pause, but that sure did. :-)

The Cardinals won a World Series with starts from Jeff Weaver and Anthony Reyes. While no one here really wants to see Marquis in the playoffs, you never know what might happen. Me, I'm cool with Lilly starting in any series.

Rob, If you get selected you automatically have the right to purchase tickets, no waiting room. However, the only ones left when you get picked could be SRO, but nonetheless you're in Wrigley for playoff baseball.

No one i know has received any sort of notification yet either, and i called the Cubs ticket office, and the lady there wouldn't give me an answer. All she told me was, "The emails will go out some time today". Hopefully, we'll know before midnight, but knowing the Cubs, i wouldn't put it past 'em to wait til the last minute. Grrrrrr......eBay, here i come soon......

    I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

  • azbobbop (view)

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.
