There weren't many moments worth remembering from last night's game, but David did capture a few:

Mark DeRosa homers in the second inning, giving the Cubs a brief lead

Jim Edmonds watches Russell Martin's 9th-inning homer land in the basket

Future Hall-of-Famer Greg Maddux, warming up before what might be his final appearance at Wrigley Field

No captions necessary... the first of what we hope are several celebrations over the next five weeks.

There wasn't much that was worth remembering about last night's loss. Here are three photos of interest.

Ryan Dempster doing his pregame warmups

Ronny Cedeno tagged out at the plate in the fifth inning (why is Alfonso Soriano standing there instead of taking second?)

Still playing great defense even while he's in a hitting slump, Kosuke Fukudome makes a diving catch on Felipe Lopez's sinking liner in the 9th

While we wait for tonight's Home Run Derby, here's a photographic review of the weekend.

Saturday

The newest Cub, Rich Harden, pitching

Matt Murton says goodbye to his fans in the bleachers. Oh, wait...

Sunday

Seven of the eight Cub All-Stars (Ryan Dempster was warming up in the bullpen)

SF's John Bowker thrown out by Reed Johnson at the plate in the third inning

Bleacher fans wave the Aramis Ramirez giveaway T-shirts during his at-bat in the 8th inning. Unfortunately, A-Ram hit into a double play.

Flying this flag just tells us the result of the game -- not that we're "losers".
