Egads, Cubs Win Two!!!

Ouch, the Northsiders beat the good guys two out of three this past weekend. I HATE when that happens as you then have to live with gloating Cub fans until the return matchup at Comiskey Park. (I won't call it by its new name, the corporatizing of America.)

I didn't know it was possible to hit as many opposite field down in the corner shots as the Cubbies were accomplishing.

The games were held at historic Wrigley Field which was built in the 1920s and hopefully will not be torn down. They now build the new parks to exude the old and tradition such as WF. This past April 30th, it was chosen by the publics' vote as being one of the Seven Wonders of Illinois on the www.enjoyillinois.com site. There is an excellent video of Wrigley Field and the other six regional winers.

This competition is called The Crosstown Classic and has been going on since at least the 60s when I first started watching both teams. At first, before interleague play, it was an exhibition game. Unfortunately. both teams would rest their starters and call up players from the minors so it really wasn't that good of a game. You would be hard pressed to determine who the better team was. This interleague play makes it REAL. I love it.

Hey, our minor leaguers can neat your minor leaguers.

Hoping for Better Luck at Comiskey. --RoadDog
