Printed cubs tickets

I just received my tickets from the 13 game pack and they're printed on crappy tickets.com paper with my name and phone number on them. I purchased these tickets with the intent of sharing a few of them with my friends and family. Are these tickets that I should share with them? If they are i'm pretty disappointed i didn't get cubs printed tickets.

DH Rules

In my office today we were discussing the DH rule in the AL and a few questions arose. Considering that Carlos Zambrano had a higher batting average last year than the AL batting champion and that Zambrano had a longer hitting streak (in calendar days) than Joe DiMaggio, it can be argued that he'd be better off hitting for himself.

If the Cubs chose to allow him, would Zambrano be allowed to hit for himself in an AL park?

If he did hit for himself, when he was relieved, would he be allowed to stay in the game as the DH?

Thanks for any insight

McFarlane Cubs Action Figures

McFarlane is releasing a 3-Pack of Cubs action figures. Maddux in 2006 home pinstripes, Zambrano in the blue jersey, and Lee in 2007 Pinstripes.

Those are some really good looking Toys. I don't follow the whole MLB action figure thing so I had no idea they got that detailed.

Notice Maddux doesn't have his last name on his jersey but Lee does. These guys really get the details.
