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.

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.

Picture of the video screen at Dolphin Stadium Friday night. Each Cub player picture was accompanied by a team photo of (I'm assuming) the 1908 team plus a goat that would pop up in random spots. Hilarious.

The goat noises being played over the PA system after each Cub out were a nice touch also. Strangely, no livestock cold be heard after Ward hit his HR.

Dempster sees great things for Cubs

After a bit of jumping around, I managed to snap this shot of Daryle Ward rounding third after his HR Friday night. My photography style is more Abraham Zapruder than Ansel Adams, but I thought it captured the crowd reaction nicely.
