Maybe it's because I live there, but I much prefer the bars in Wicker Park over Wrigleyville.

I concur.

I'm down for a Goon meet, I have a double header that night at 5:00 so I'd likely only stay for a short time as it's out in the burbs.

I'm leaning toward the first option. We'll probably peace out for most of the game, but it would be cool to meet dudes and eat together. I'm waiting for some sort of thoughts from my girlfriend before I commit to too much.

Seems like lunch is the best option for everyone rather than staying to watch the game. So like noon or 1pm on Sunday?

Some good lunch/beer options:

Revolution Brewpub in Logan Square, right by the California Blue Line stop. Great beer and great food.
Links Taproom in Wicker Park, they have ~40 beers on tap at all times and good sausages/pub fare.
Piece in Wicker Park, really good pizza (not deep dish) and they brew their own award-winning beer.
Pequod's in Lincoln Park. My favorite deep dish, but not a very good beer selection.

If anyone else has other suggestions, feel free to add to the list. It'd be nice if we could nail down a time and place, then people can PM me for my cell.

I would be down for Piece or Links as my top choice with a slight preference for Piece.

EDIT: Let's do Links if you're going to Piece on Sat.

We're probably also doing Links on Saturday, but just beer and not food :v:

Also, I could eat Piece for literally every meal and not get sick of it.

Okay, I got the go ahead for whatever. I trust you guys to have good taste in picking either Piece or Links, I have no dog in that fight.

I'll PM at least one of you guys (Poque/Kevlar) later with my number so it will be easier to get in touch with me.

I feel like this is a much more Cubs fan-heavy meetup than the last one. If my girlfriend's family doesn't steal me away for the whole day, am I going to get beaten up if I attend?

I feel like the Cubs have to lead the majors in pickoffs. Not only from pitchers, but from catchers too.

Also, my :siren:

EXECUTIVE DECISION :siren:

is Links at noon on Sunday. PM me if you need my cell or just look for the guy wearing the giant World Series ring to find us. :smug:

I'm pretty sure you could beat us all up at the same time.

If Happ keeps it up with the bat (granted, he's cooled off considerably his last 2-3 games) and can keep it up in CF, Almora's already non-existent playing time is going to dip into the negative.

Holy gently caress that was a garbage pitch by Samardzija. Middle-up and Zobrist clobbered it.

Assuming the Cubs can hold on to the narrow lead, is Davis available? I know he hadn't pitched for a week prior to yesterday but he did had to make an absurd 34 pitches.

I would think they avoid him as long as possible.

"Effectively wild" doesn't even really begin to describe those three innings from Monty (or hell, the five from Butler) but I'll take it.
