I've got a pair of extras to next Friday's (8/29) Cubs-Phillies day game. They're prett good seats - you can go to cubs.com and look up section 219, row 5.

I'll probably sell 'em on craigslist, but if any of y'all want to go I'll give 'em to you for face value. Unfortunately, face value in that part of Wrigley is expensive, but nothing I can do about that.

Actually, there's an excellent chance I'll have 3 extras instead of 2 - Mrs. Fly's sister is about to give birth, and if so, she's taking Frankie and heading to Grand Rapids.

Other warning: if the baby doesn't come, or it comes soon enough that Mrs. F is back by then, you'll be sitting next to a baby.

If I lived anywhere close to Chicago, I would take you up on the offer. I've never been to a game at Wrigley Field, but it is number one on my list of ballparks to see.

As far as sitting next to a baby goes, I would be fine with that. I sat next to a lady with a baby on a flight from El Paso to Dallas a few years ago. The baby was probably four months old. I made faces and talked to the baby the whole way. The mother said that the baby cried and was fussy on the trip out to El Paso, and that it really disturbed the guy sitting next to her on that flight. She was surprised and how "good" the baby was doing on this trip. I told her that I genuinely loved babies, and that my attitude toward her probably had something to do with it. The guy she sat to on her previous flight probably resented the fact that he had to sit next to a woman with a baby, and I figured that the baby could sense the differing attitudes.

Don't know why I thought of that, but I needed to pad my post totals anyway before LB's next expanded standings list...
