cubs vs. giants - game 4

We were back on the outfield wall for game 4










Little Devin Hester


My score-keeping friend Bob




Did I mention Kate likes Kosuke?


This one's for Dale


Bad guys win


Giants 8 - Cubs 3




I was sad


But this made me laugh


Time to go home


It was a fun 4 days. I'm tired and broke, but it was worth it.

Commemorative photos can be purchased here.

Happy 4th of July.

cubs vs. giants - game 3

We sat in the upper deck down the third base line


Pretty nice views


Coast guard keeping watch


Kate likes Kosuke




We went with friends of mine from work - Dan (and his wife Jill) and Jason (and his wife Marsha)


View of the Bay Bridge from the upper deck




Giant's John Bowker hit a HR into McCovey Cove in the 6th inning - only the 47th 'splash home run' since the park opened (that's the ball floating in the water...)


But the Cubbies won


6-5




Then we watched the pre-4th of July fireworks show




Good times. Game 4 this afternoon.

Their version of the seventh inning stretch - mascots, golf carts and cracker jacks

9th inning rally???


Come on Theriot...


Nope, not tonight. Giants win 2-1.


Roger?


We'll try again tonight...

cubs vs. giants - game 1

The Cubbies are in town this week to play 4 games against the Giants at Pac Bell AT&T Barry Bonds Memorial Park.

Fukudome


Theriot


D. Lee




Excellent arts and crafts skills


A Giants vendor was actually walking around selling Cubs hats


Lilly on the mound




Lilly couldn't quite go the distance - Wood pitched the 9th




Cubs win








Confusing sign outside the ballpark


Cubs take the first game 9-2. DeRosa hit two homers, including a grand slam. Lilly threw eight shutout innings. Good start to the series. See you tomorrow night.
