I have a couple Cubs/Marlins bleacher tickets to next Thursday’s game (July 19 at 1:20 CT), but, unfortunately, I won’t be able to use them. Rather than sell them, I’d like to give them to one of you. So, here, catch.
Naw. Wouldn’t that be crazy?
Instead, here’s how I’m going to do it. See that there picture of Matt Garza? It’s begging for a caption.
So, to win the tickets, this is all you have to do: head over to the BN Facebook page, “like” it, and drop a comment on this picture on the wall offering your caption. The comment with the most thumbs ups by Sunday, July 15 at 4pm CT wins the tickets. It’s kind of like a democratic way of settling which caption is the best. (Or, which commenter has the most friends they can cajole into a thumbs up).
I’ll leave the tickets for you at will call, but make sure you respond to my Facebook message promptly if you’re the winner.
Because of the mechanics of this contest, you’ve got to be on Facebook to enter and win (my apologies). You can still offer your caption in the comments for fun and posterity, but you won’t be entered to win.





They scored when Dempster was pitching?
Holy crap! I am really going to pitch on the moon!
Brett said Theo was trading me where?!?!
They canceled “America’s Next Top Model!” Now what am going to do in the winter?!
Sveum: “Hey, Garza. What is the capital of Thailand?”
Garza: “I don’t know, skip?”
Sveum: “BANGKOK!!!!”
You have been traded to the Hamfighters
They took the BAR, they took the whole F*%#&ing BAR!!!
Cain got what??? Get my agent on the line!
How much was my car insurance?!?!?!?
Did you see that? I just threw someone out at first! For real!
“What do you mean I’ve been traded to the Hiroshima Toyo-Carp?! I told Theo and Jed that there was no way I could see myself being managed by that ass-clown Kenjiro Nomura!”
also:
“Kerry Wood just said WHAT about searching through my mom’s ivy!?”
” I got traded to Miami for Zambrano?!”
Campana hit a ball out onto Waveland?!?!?!
“You mean Brett has more twitter followers then BOTH Kaplan and Rogers?!”
Boz, I had your ’87 Topps card…all this time I thought you were our hitting coach!
The new test for steroids goes in where?!!!
“Matt you really need to shake off those home runs don’t let it get to you so much.
“DID YOU JUST CALL ME CARLOS?”
i believe Sczcur will be here before Jackson. in see future of,
Almora LF,
Sczcur CF and lead-off,
Soler RF
lake 3B,
Castro SS,
Baez 2B,
Rizzo 1B,
Clevenger C.
all by 2015, some by 2014.
I don’t think there is any way Szczur makes it here before Jackson.
However, I think he could be the better player.
His line, aside from the slightly down power numbers, is quite impressive at A+ right now.
He has a fairly low amount of K’s, which is usually not typical of 2 sport guys. But what is even more impressive is the amount of walks he has. For a guy that low in the minors, with so little baseball development, to be walking like that….awesome.
The best one “No more Pies?”, I will never ever go to facebook. And I honestly do not believe your mechanics excuse.
Are you serious…..Brett is staying up 30 straight hours during the trade deadline?
The White Sox sold out a game this year?
I can save how much on my car insurance?
Pitch better or you’re staying a Cub!
I killed someone with a harpoon!
Another year here… I didnt get traded?
Hey, remember the picture of Felix Pie that looked like THIS?
Lots of Cubs fans wanting to go see Big Z implode 1 more time at wrigley=) whoever wins the best caption is gonna have a great day at the best ballpark in the world.
Bryan LaHair? All-Star?
Brett, said what?
