StubHub tickets goof: Playoff seats offered to Cubs, Sox fans

StubHub "accidentally" sent automated emails out to thousands of Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox fans, as well as those from other teams, stating they can see their team "chase baseball immortality" in the playoffs.

Big mistake considering baseball ended for these teams week ago and the ALCS and NCLS are at their height, with two walk-off thrillers last night in Philadelphia and Anaheim.

The slight has not pleased Chicago area baseball fans.
