Last night, Susan went to see the Cubs play the Brewers, marking her first night game at Wrigley Field ever! (When she lived in Chicago as a kid they hadn't yet installed the lights so all home games were day games.) It was quite exciting to see the park at night -- the skyline forms a really beautiful backdrop for the park. Unfortunately the Cubs lost, 6-1. Carlos Zambrano pitched a great game for the first six innings.
Unfortunately, he was left in for seven. That was when all hell broke loose and the Cubs never really regained their footing. After a really successful June and July Zambrano wound up going 0 for August! He needs to heat up again for the September stretch. The Cubs also need to start scoring some runs! Although they had 9 hits, they consistently failed to bring runners on base home.
Fortunately for the Cubs, St. Louis also lost big last night. As a result the Cubs are still in front of the Brewers by 1.5 games and in front of St. Louis by 2.0 games. Looks like it's going to be very tight going into September!

Hi Jude! We have been having a lot of fun and the lesbian bowling league hasn't even started yet ;^) Thinking of you too and hoping that we'll be able to arrange an outing to see you in the city or at the lake soon.
Susan and Kate
