274-bleachers

spent a day out in the bleachers. it got a little scary since i said i was going to leave early then all of a sudden i was needed for a 1:30 meeting. i left anyways. if they needed me, they could call. sure enough, they did. luckily it wasn't who i thought it was and they were just calling me to say the mail people screwed up and gave my package to the wrong person. phew, that was close. what was i going to do , have a conference call at the concession stand?

it was good to see kerry wood back, but this is most likely a case of too little, too late. even with the loss, it's nearly impossible to not have a good time. they people out there are all characters. we had three homeruns hit withing a couple rows of us. unfortunately, they were all hit by nationals.

soriano's came the closet. in fact, if you were watching espn that night, you could have saw me if you looked close. the guy two rows in front of me caught it after it bounced off the guy in front of him. it's pretty funny since you see me behind him waiting for him to drop the ball...he didn't and before i could realize what happened he had already thrown it back out onto the field. now, there's a true cubs fan.

the only thing i didn't get was the harrassing of alfonso soriano. i guess it is tradition to hassle the opponents left fielder, but this guy could be playing second base for us. actually, maybe he should be! who couldn't use a guy on their team who is on pace for 55 homeruns?

afterwards, there was a poker game. i had some good cards, played great, yet lost quickly...go figure.
