Sorry I missed it. I tried to get there just after 6, but traffic down 1st ave from Belltown was c-r-a-w-l-i-n-g and I bagged the attempt. Hope you enjoyed your hard-earned victory.
(Meanwhile, the Reds swept Oakland for a .500 west coast interleague swing--I'll take it!)

I was at tues/we'd games. Ms stink, but the cubs are TERRIBLE. cf - wondering, why cubs and not sox? Childhood thing? Just plain bad luck?

Sitting in the left field bleachers yesterday, listening to all you Cubs fans boo the hell out of Milton Bradley was sickening. The girl next to me asked the pasty XXL Cubs fan behind us why he was booing.

"Because Milton Bradley called all Cubs fans racist."

"Actually," I chimed in, " I don't think he called ALL of you racist."

"No, no, I read the quote. He said that we were all racists."

That is ridiculous, of course.

Then when the "Let's go Cubbies" chants began, I responded in tempo with "Go home Cubs fans." To which the guy in front of me whined, "But, but, I'm from here." Good to know, loser.

@3: Reds fans (at least, those w/o season tickets) have all but ceded our ballpark to the cubs fans when their team is in town. Apparently roadgames in Milwaukee and Cincinnati are the only means most have of seeing them play. Sorry to hear it's as bad here. I blame WGN and cable TV.
