Yesterday Julie and I headed down to Wrigley Field for the final game in the Cubs – Mets series.  The game started off well enough with Jose Reyes scoring on a combination of a double and a couple of fielding errors, or in my score book an in the park Home Run.  Then RA Dickey fell of the mound and the wheels came off.  Once again we stayed in the lower deck to avoid the wind instead of our purchased upper deck seats.  The stadium was empty but I’m sure that had a lot to do with it being a 45°F Thursday day game.  Either way the Mets once again were defeated 9-3 by the Cub.s

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.
