Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Photos from Cubs @ Astros, 12 Sep 2007

Just got back from the ballpark and got my photos uploaded. Courtesy of my boss, I had great seats about 30 rows back from home plate slightly off to the 3rd base side. They were giving out Biggio #7 caps to the first 10,000 fans. The guy at the door jokingly said he'd only give me one if I switched caps (I was wearing my Cubs cap).

I thought the strike zone was a little inconsistent, but it cut both ways. Dunno what happened on the Derrek Lee CS (was it a missed hit and run?). And Cliff Floyd's HR was ridiculous - I've never heard a ball come off a bat that loudly before.

Cubs win!

I was denied a bobblehead doll at a Dodger game for wearing a Cubs jersey two years ago.

that sucks
I wouldn't have thought that they would be allowed to do that, but I guess they can do whatever they want. I probably would have said "It said first 10,000 fans, not first 10,000 Dodger fans."
