Since the game was so early today, we headed north in the city to Wrigleyville to visit Barry & Buffy and see how barry is feeling. He's really fatigued, looks like he lost a little weight, but other than that, he seems just like his normal everyday self.
We watched and talked extensively about Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath stories while watching extended coverage on MSNBC.
We ordered Chinese food for delivery and, well, you just can't order the right amount of Chinese food. We had 4 entrées, extra white rice, big order of fried rice. And this was good Chinese, no matter what you ate.
Watched Ladder 49 on Starz after that. (Actually, a decent movie). then a cheesecake sampler afterward.
Man we just love eating and talking...

I wasn't ready for the heat and humidity today, and got to the ballpark ill-prepared.
It's a 12:15 game - Fox picked up the broadcast. Was supposed to be a 6pm game, so that's why the place is half empty (but will still have a decent attendence number because they count tickets sold - paid attendance - and how many people really knew about the time change. And here it is - a battle of two first place teams.
Hey! Bill Wennington (former chicago Bull) threw out the first pitch! (But so did Leon Spinx... big contrast there)
If this is a possible post-season matchup, we'rein trouble. The game was a mess. Even though, we're first to score and lead 2-0 through 2, Jon Garland gives up 7 runs in 6 innings. Call-up David Sanders comes in at the top of the 7th. ONE PITCH - Chone Figgins homered to left. FOUR PICHES - Orlando Cabrera walked. Garret Anderson looks at a strike, hits one foul, and on his THIRD PITCH doubled to deep right, scoring Orlando Cabrera. Vladimir Guerrero on frst pitch hit sacrifice fly to center, Garret Anderson scored.
Let's see... 1 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 9 pitches = 3 runs.
Ozzie actually throws in the towel, and starts substituting players (5 of them) during our half of the 7th, and we put 3 more runs on the board.
Not enough.
