I'm done with predictions. Even SI sports writers are 50/50 on all of these series. You just can't tell who's going to win. So I'm just watching the games.
At the same time, I've scooped Milwaukee and St. Louis for tickets and hotels. Yikes. Milwaukee is heavily booked - you can barely get a room in even a crappy downtown hotel and all the good ones are full. Big convention on or something. St. Louis you can get a nice room for reasonable $ right by Busch stadium and the Arch thingie. And Cardinal tickets are cheaper. And Detroit is all cheap. So I booked hotels for Milwaukee and St. Louis. And may get tickets for both teams. Flights are the real stress. Hope someone makes this a definitive series win soon!!!
Edit - I boughts tickets for Oct. 20. Given that this is Dad's birthday, I didn't want to risk missing out somehow or getting stuck with bad seats. So I've bought tickets for Oct. 20 for both the Brewers abd cardinals, and pretty good seats too - I'm very excited. Especially if game is at Busch Stadium we'll be in section 249, which is part of the "Redbird Club" which is attached to a climate controlled (yeah in Late October!) place for food/drink/bathrooms. Will be a nice perk if it's cold or rainy. If at Miller park we'll be in section 227, which is decent and close enough to see the silly beer slide guy. Will go cheaper for a game 1 in either park, or in Detroit (where seats are pretty cheap anyway).
Can't wait for games tonight!!!
