Upon further review...

thanks for the two late additions. Nice shot of the outfield brain trust! : )

Brain trust

Comment reminded me of this old pic I took in 2004:

Just some former Tribune employee

I think he was the union rep or something.....or maybe the clubhouse towel boy.....

Was

hoping for a dome tip of the cap.

No complaints your pictures are great and we love and appreciate them. Keep up the awesome work.

Actually, I've given up for now...

Fukudome is just so low key. Al did post one of my photos, from the home opener, when Fukudome did remove his cap, and bow to the bleachers.

Since that game, he usually makes a very subtle gesture to the crowd. He will bow his head downwards (in a photo it just appears that he is looking at the ground) or he will tap the brim of his cap (in a still image, he comes off as adjusting his cap).

I will keep on the lookout for that photo opportunity, but he is no showboat. It's the Japanese way. Very unlike a former Cub's right fielder, and I am not talking about Burnitz or Jones.

Well, looks like Soto...

...has satisfied his triple community projection for the year in just the first week! Everything from here on is pure gravy....

great pics

I find myself looking forward to these posts after the game. Kudos for the good work.

outfield pic

Im a bit surprised by the outfield pic. Is Fukudome huge or are our other OF's small? I confess I was wrong about Fukudome. I expected him to struggle for the first part of the season due to the new country, cold weather etc before coming good. I was wrong & hope it stays that way. ^_^

Cubs colored fireworks signify a Cubbies Win at Wrigley West.

Actually, there was a patriotic fireworks display after the game. I don't say this as an Oakland A's fan, but I'll tell you without reservation that fireworks games are better at the Oakland Colisseum.

Tonight's fireworks were over the bay and into the fog. Also, the best audio is inside the stadium while the best views are outside of it.

Usually in Oakland, people are let on the field, the speaker pump music through the stadium, and fireworks are shot overhead from the bridge that connects the stadium to the BART trains.

Long story short--come for the cubs v. giants game, leave for the train ASAP.
Raise that victory flag over Wrigley West!
CUBS WIN!!

Kerry Wood just struck out Fred Lewis despite giving up a triple to Bengie Molina. It was a close call for a slugfest of a game!

There's nothing like having the true blue fans rise up and cheer on our road warriors.
This is the right field wall that separates McCovey Cove and the stadium. Can you pick out all the blue in the stands? I nominate this place as Wrigley West--just grow soe Wrigleyville ivy on those bricks!

Fact: There is a splash hit counter toward the other end of the wall, and it only counts homers hit into the bay by SF Giants. They call them "legitimate splash hits." 

What a crock!
It was Veterans Appreciation Day at AT&T Park, hence the military band and flag bearers. It was cool to see SF legend Willie Mays get honored for his military service.
