No beer in Wrigleyville: A seventh inning stretch?

Bars and restaurants around Wrigley Field will be asked to stop serving alcohol after the seventh-inning stretch -- just as they do inside the ballpark -- to prevent Cubs playoff celebrations from turning ugly.
Ray Orozco, executive director of the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, said the proposed seventh-inning cutoff -- discussed at a playoff security meeting Monday -- would occur "only if it's a clinch game." Liquor sales could resume once the game is over, he said.
The voluntary moratorium would be effective on Sheffield between Newport and Irving; on Clark from Irving Park to Newport; and on Addison from Wilton to Racine.
"We're asking bar owners in the area to participate in the interest of public safety so we celebrate in the most responsible manner possible," Orozco said.
"It stops people from drinking for probably at least an hour. If they choose to, they can pick it up again. You're assuming everyone is going to start drinking again [after the final out]. I don't know if that's necessarily so. But if you stop drinking at 3:26 p.m., you won't be as physically impaired at 4:26 p.m."
Bar owners -- who hadn't been briefed on the city's plan -- reacted angrily to the idea of a temporary pause in liquor sales. They argued that customers who don't get served will get up and leave and never come back.

As long as you can demonstrate that there is even a 0.00000000001% chance that you could possibly win the bet, we'll have a deal.
Until then, I'm gonna party with my vbucks like it's 1999. :cheers:

Well since that wasn't part of your original bet it's too late to add it now. You called for the bet, I accepted it and you have to abide by the original bet you made. THere was no mention of any demo in the origibnal bet.Jake;1277767; said:
But after you pay me the vbucks then I might demonstrate my "dancin on the table routine"
I'm sure you don't want to be known as a "welcher" now do you? :cheers:
