re: Please tell those of us who are novices to the CWS everything you know

You can buy single game tickets ($8) and attend any game with it, but you must wait in line about 1 & 1/2 hours prior to the start of the game you want to attend and it will be for general admission/outfield seating. We waited 2 hours prior and were able to sit the first row of the outfield.

There is a really good website and electronic ticket program (I forget the name) that you can bid on assigned seating tickets. It is popular there and if you go, you will see advertisements for it. You can also post your tickets for sale and never have to meet the seller or buyer. They can scan it at the gate.
