sammy caught looking.
one thing the cubs know how to do is to swing for the fences when the wind is blowing out. these guys always get the ball in the air when the wind is blowing this hard.

it looks to be blowing pretty hard from right to left. flags in the outfield are whipping pretty hard.
glanville's hr was to left field. i thought it was going to get blow foul.
i haven't been paying attention to the broadcasters, so i don't know if they have said how hard it is blowing.

it must be blowing real hard. the wind just carried that ball right out of the park to left field. i didn't think it had a chance.
Hrmm watching sportsline.com for game... and see another one went out. Is Leiter pitching bad or is any flyball gonna leave park?
Typical Mets, though. How can you win with Philips at the clean-up spot. He hits into a DP with two on and one out in the first. Then they leave two stranded in the second. Mets have been unsuccessful all year in getting key hits. Nothing new today. Leiter is good, but his supporting cast is just not there.
With the wind blowing out, though, you always have a chance at Wrigley Field.
BTW, I saw a no-hitter there in 1970 or 71. Ken Holtzman pitched it against Atlanta. Ernie Banks was playing first for the Cubs. Hank Aaron made the last out of the game for Atlanta. It was the only game in Major League history, to date, (I think) where the pitcher did not strike out a single batter. That's right, a nine inning no-hitter with no strike-outs!!! Billy Williams hit a 3-run homer in the first for the only scoring.

Did anyone else just see what I just saw????? They were doing an interview with a fan in the outfield. The girl sitting right next to the interviewer had on a mini-skirt. the camera angle was shooting right up her skirt. lmfao. that was greatness.
How come I always miss all th good stuff on TV? Howie the real question is. What did she look like?

I want to see the Mets face the Tigers in a best-of-7. I bet Detroit would win it. Looking at this Mets lineup makes me want to puke having the over. The only way that hits is if the Cubs score 9.
as long as the bullpen doesn't screw this up, the under is looking good, can allow 2 runs an inning the last 3 and still win, would rather have 0 runs, but it's a nice cushion
Also a nice cushion when the team your playing against is really a AAA team that can't hit they're way outta a paper bag !!!
Geesh! I see a no-hitter where there were no strike-outs and tell about it.
In the next post, Howie talks about looking up some girls skirt on TV.
All the rest of the posts talk about how could everyone have missed the girl in the miniskirt!!!!
That's what I like about this forum! So many purists!
(How could I have missed the "shot heard round the forum"??)
