Last night Julie and I weathered the storm to see the Mets victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. We decided to sit in a couple of the many empty 200 level seats instead of our upper deck seats, which was key to staying.

** When the rain finally became overwhelming to everyone in the stadium except the Cubs manager Mike Quade they called the game. For some reason, as you can see in the photographs a above, Quade thought the game should go on.

Last night was the first of three Cubs-Mets games (with the weather permitting) that Julie and I will be attending this week.  The weather was manageable, the poor baseball played by the Mets was not.  The Cubs broke the game wide open in the 2nd inning capitalizing on a number of errors by the Mets and jumping out to a 5-0 lead.  The Cubs continued to pound the Mets for 6 more runs before it was all over.
