It was tough to sit through.  I didn't need a mock standing ovation while heading up the steps of my section with 2 outs in the top of the 9th. I had seats 3 rows from the field.  It was a long walk up!!!! Wearing the 1984 roaSandberg jersey.

Lilly didn't have it.  I don't know if the knee was still bothering him or what. The Phils have the best lineup in the NL. I thought Lilly would hold them.  Guess not.

What happened to the Cubs lineup between 08 and 09? Was losing DeRosa that big?   The Phils pitched Rodrigo Lopez.  Let me repeat, Rodigo Lopez!  Why didn't the Cubs score more against him!?!?!?

Don't get me started on Soriano!!!  How do you drop that ball?!?!?! 

A tough game to watch!  My trip to Chicago this year is with family to the Cubs-Phillies series in August.  I hoping the Cubs take 2 of 3. Is that too much to ask?

Hope the Cubs take the next two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Since it's a few days away, I'll post this. 

Who has tickets for the games in this series?

I'm going to the game on Monday night.

If anyone is going on Tuesday night, Green Day has a concert at the Wachovia Center.  Get there early because parking might be a mess.

It will interesting to see how the Cubs match up with the defending world champions. What are the pitching matchup going to look like for this series?
