But the best days
are when the Mets, Cardinals, White Sox and Yankees all lose ( sorry I can’t work up any hostility to the Brewers but I would like them to lose)

Try Living in Wisconsin
You’d have grown to hate the Crew in the last couple years.
Kinda sad, because growing up they were my Junior Circuit team. But I still root for them when they play the Cards.

He was doing alright, but his control seemed to disappear

He lost the zone, and then when he found it, Fontenot hit a RBI triple.

Great to see from Fontenot
Especially from a lefty.
Nice base running by Scales reading that the ball would easily drop.
Mota
in for the Dodgers. 3-0, Fonty at third, no outs. Dempster to the plate, swings, 0-1.

This is one of our more satisfying offensive performances
this year. Having generally good at bats, hitting with two outs and scoring some runs.
And all of our runs have scored via small ball.
No Cubs home runs today.

If you're lower level, you'll be able to look right into the Cubs bullpen
Say hi to Patton so doesn’t forget what human contact feels like.

I saw the blimp all around town this afternoon

Drove over to look at it up close and talk with the pilots – pretty cool stuff.

I actually had the chance to see one (the Goodyear Blimp) up close.
This was a long time ago, I think I still lived in the Midwest when this happened.

Either Pierre or their leadoff man is the case, apparently.
