Game 37, Rainy Dreary....Amazing

S209R2S10 6.13.09




It would literally have to rain blood for me to be miserable at this ballpark. It was cold, windy and wet but still awesome. Jason Kubel ripped one out of the park and the Twins cruised 2-0..... Can we build the Cubs a new stadium and somehow transport Wrigley here? I heard the Pohlads have a little money.

It's cold and damp. Except the fat drunk chicks in the bleachers.


When do we stop calling him "Baby Jesus" and simply start declaring him God?
Justin Morneau, who may or may not get sick of all the attention Mauer gets eventually.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubel. Just before he literally hit one out of the stadium. Wow.

CHICAGO -- The way he dominated, Anthony Swarzak certainly pitched like a major leaguer Saturday, and he probably will be again.

For now?Back to the minors, kid.In an odd twist, the Minnesota Twins optioned the 23-year-old rookie to Triple-A Rochester after he scattered four hits over seven innings in a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday afternoon.

Game 36, Live from Heaven on Earth.

My buddy recently moved to Brazil (read his adventures here) and after visiting Rio de Janeiro, he declared it "Heaven on Earth." However, he is a drooling idiot. For you see, Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL is truly Heavenly. Mostly pictures and some words below.

Grabbing bleacher spots....Row 3 Right Field. 75 and sunny. Sick.

Is there a better job on Earth than being the guy that updates the manual scoreboard at Wrigley? Maybe bullpen catcher, but the list ends there...


Jason Kubel feels a migraine coming on after Delmon Young says "Hello."


At this point, I would be comfortable paying 50 bucks to watch Joe Mauer jog around the outfield. Don't judge me.



DBAG fan of the Game

All in all, the Cubs fans we met were pretty cool. However, this guy was a real asshole. Waaaaay too drunk and full of spittle, this guy nearly ruined my perception of Chicago, let alone Cubs fans. Also, he looks exactly like Rowan Atkinson. This is NOT good.

Twins fans in the crowd of 41,509 probably weren't the ones giving Bradley the business for his many misdeeds.He lost Jason Kubel's pop-up in the sun for a single, couldn't catch Michael Cuddyer's RBI bloop double, made a baserunning blunder and, most egregiously, flipped the ball into the stands after catching Mauer's one-out sac fly.
