06.25.08 Home Sweet Home

Aisle 19 Row 5 Seat 1

I am joining you this time from Home Sweet Home...actually five rows back from home plate. Sitting with some good friends in great seats. Enjoyed a few pre-game beverages at Murphy's Bleachers and the Cubby Bear. Beautiful night for baseball.

Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic from ESPN's Mike and Mike in the morning joined the Wrigley faithful to throw out the first pitch and sing the 7th Inning Stretch. Greenberg floated one in and Golic threw a patented Lou Pinella 40-foot curve ball that made it in on only one bounce.

Gotta have an Old Style or two while enjoying the Cubs.
