You have to like this story from Deadspin about a Brewer game vs. the Cubs last year. Take a look at that picture!
More important.....Don Huff won a lottery for a marquee game this year and has graciously offered to begin the organizing process for the Palms Blog game by trying to secure some entry passes. He has to buy tickets today and is targeting the Cubs v. Crew on April 8-10. Wouldn't that be cool. He figures he can sell the tix if we can't figure it out. No promises at this point just a heads up that some things are in the works. I'll try send an update after I find out about how the ticket purchase went.
Fake Press Release Makes Worthless Cubs/Brewers Game Temporarily Interesting
Brian Hickey — How do you make a Cubs/Brewers interesting when they have a combined 126-155 record? You slip a fake press release supposedly written by Cubs GM Jim Hendry into the press pack! Here's a pic (via Paul Sullivan's Twitter) ...
Brewers Vice-President of Communications Tyler Barnes said they are looking into the incident, and that it was "impossible to know where it came from." They have not apologized to the Cubs or Hendry yet, but have spoken to the Cubs about the hoax.
"You've got people credentialed from every city in the country around here," he said. "Without knowing who did it... It's an unfortunate incident. It's a lousy attempt at a practical joke and in that way we're certainly sorry. But without being able to know who did it..." [ChicagoBreakingSports.com]
Cubs haters, take the mic. Just don't ...
