In the Ballpark

I was done working by noon on Friday, so I thought to myself, if I could burn a scalper and pick up a ticket for cheap, I'll go hang out in the ballpark. I had to take care of a few errands before that, so by the time I bought a $22 seat for $10, it was in the middle of the 4th inning and Greg Maddux was en route to his first 5-0 start ever, albeit less assuring than in his last four starts. We won, of course, because I was wearing my lucky Cubs shirt. And then the rest of the weekend, we got shellocked by the Brew Crew in the rain.
