Wrigley Field: Cubs – Mets (game 1).

Bad "fundies" as Keith would sayWrigley Field on game day.Wrigley Field: Cubs - MetsDSC_0079.jpgDSC_0110.jpg

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.

Mets at Wrigley Field.

This past weekend the Mets began the first game of their annual series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs.  Despite a great first inning the Mets fell short once again to the Cubs.  We had some really good seats in the upper box section 220 behind home plate.  I think to see a game at Wrigley Field it’s always better to be in the upper boxes than the lower level (less chance of pillars for starters).  You get to see the plays develop and you can see the entire field from a normal angle.
