Cubs drinking game

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 minute

Take 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
Enjoy!

Sounds like you could get pretty drunk playing this game.....

My favorite: "Drink at all mentions of goats, black cats, Bartman and curses"
