The loss was annoying because our record was so much better going into the game (20-14, to the Cubs's 14-20), but it is what it is. The Cubbies capitalized on our many errors to take a 6-4 win, although they made a number of on-field gaffes themselves, and stranded 24 men on base. We didn't do so well either, leaving 13. It was just bad ball all around (summary).
Also, what kind of hot dog stand are you if you run out of hot dogs? We went to get our dinner 'round about the 4th inning, and our favorite stand announced, not 30 seconds after we jumped in line, that they had run out of dogs. What? How does that happen? You serve one thing! The woman at the hot dog stand had said it would be 20 minutes before she had more ready for purchase. We were hungry, so headed across the way to one of the regular concession stands. Slowest line in history. Seriously. It took so long that eventually we just gave up and went back over to wait out the last 5 minutes before our delicious dogs with grilled onions were sizzling away. After all that waiting, they sure were good!
Super bonus! Remember how last summer, I got to fondle a World Series ring? (Although that day, the Cards won.) Well, there's another one now!
On the inside, all the series counts are engraved...
...and an extreme close up of one side of the ring reveals the rally squirrel!
