Special thanks to Bart and Mollie for posting this on their blog. I'm now going to share it with all of you. This is taken from CNNSI.COM and their links. I do not agree w/ all of the following statements(especially about Old Style). If you plan to follow the game to the letter, I'd recommend doing it on a weekend :)
Required Supplies:
If I were a “real fan” I would tell you to pick up a case of Old Style because they’ve been a sponsor of the Cubs since the Korean War. Unfortunately, it tastes like liquid sawdust so screw it, I’m grabbing a case of Bud Light. After all, Harry was a Bud Man.
You’ll also want a bottle of something hard to fight that bubbly-stomach feeling when you have to pound 8 drinks in a minuteTake One Drink
- Any camera shot of a celebrity in the stands wearing Cubs gear
- The commentator mentions the Cubs haven’t won the series in 99 years
- TV cameras show a white “W” flag
- Wrigley field is described as any of the following: charming, historic, quaint, gorgeous, landmark, priceless, classic, vintage, iconic
- A sign in the crowd depicts the Cubs logo with some other word besides “Cubs”
- Drink at all mentions of goats, black cats, Bartman and curses
- A commentator mentions Carlos Zambrano’s contract extension
- Drink every time you feel an undeniable urge to punch Ernie Johnson in the face. In second thought, just drink once.
Take Two Drinks
- Lou Pinella goes crazy at the umpire
- Felix Pie enters the game as a pinch runner or defensive replacement
- Ron Santo is shown broadcasting the game from a nearby booth
- “It’s Gonna Happen” shirts are seen or mentioned by the broadcasters
- Announcers mention that Kerry Wood is frequently injured
- A shirtless fan is shown (double if it’s a lady!)
- The announcers mention that Ryan Theriot and Mike Fontenot were college teammates
- The White Sox 2005 championship is mentioned
Finish your Drink!
- Daryle Ward plays the field
- Daryle Ward advances past first base
- Someone explains Eamus Catuli
- Announcers mention Carlos Marmol is a converted catcher
- Carlos Zambrano punches someone
- A Cubs pitcher pinch hits

Sounds like you could get pretty drunk playing this game.....
My favorite: "Drink at all mentions of goats, black cats, Bartman and curses"
