Cubs - Saturday

No pictures from Saturday's game. It was a frustrating game and I didn't feel like taking any photos.

The Cubs lost 7-3. At least in this game they scored some runs and actually had a chance to win (until the 7th inning).

It was hot and sweaty, but it was fun as usual.

Cubs - Friday

Not much to say about this one. The Cubs lost 3-0. There are no highlights other than this picture of Dodgers' 2nd baseman, Jeff Kent, getting thrown out of the game. The Cubs struck out 11 times last night and looked as if they were asleep.

Today will be better!

Thursday's Giveaway

This is what I got as I walked into the stadium last night. It's a bobblehead of Dodgers closer, Takasi Saito.

Last night, I used it as a voodoo doll and kicked and punched it a little :) It must have worked, because he gave up the winning run to the Cubs.

Cubs - Thursday

Yesterday was the first Cubs/Dodgers game of the 4 game series. It was a great game and I enjoyed the whole thing.

I went alone to last nights game, becasue CJ is going to Friday night's game. I got there about 90 minutes early because I literally work "right down the road" from Dodgers' Stadium. I was happy to find when I arrived that the Cubs' batting practing was going on (you will see it in the pic above). I then went and got some dinner and found my seat. Luckily, my seat was in a block of other Cubs fans and that was a nice feeling in "hostile" territory. :) Actually, as in all ballparks around the country, there are always lots of Cubs fans.

During the game I talked with a couple brothers who were sitting next to me. It turned out that they are originally from Evansville, IN and now they live in Phoenix and Colorado. So, of course, we talked about Indiana and it was fun to talk to them about the Cubs and the Purdue/ I.U. rivalry.

It was a close game after the fifth inning. The Cubs closer, Kerry Wood, made it an interesting ninth inning by loading the bases with two outs. Luckily, he got the last guy to strike out and the Cubs won 5-4. They still have the best record in all of baseball, and I hope they improve on that tonight!

I can't wait for tonight's game!!!!

Baseball Weekend

I'm excited because the Cubs will be in town to play the Dodgers Thursday-Sunday of this week. It's been a year since the Cubs were in town and I can't wait to go starting on Thursday night. This year I'm going to the first three games(Thursday-Saturday). I'm skipping Sunday's game because it is tiring enough to go three days straight as I have in the two previous seasons.

They are currently riding a 8-game winning streak and I hope they continue to play well once they get to L.A.
