I’m about to miss my first deadline! Oh no! This morning has been beyond disappointing.

box
Cubs improve to 12-7 and clinch this series
Marlins fall to 5-13 and aren’t really good

POTG: SP Sean Marshall (7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K, QS, W, awesome curve going)

Runner Up: LF Matt Murton (3 H, 2B, R, 2 RBI), 2B Jerry Hairston (SQUEEZE)

Short version:
– got a city one day parking pass
– easily found a parking spot near Mike’s place (even if we didn’t know what “0.1 miles” actually meant)
– the walk to the park was longer on the way home
– it was freaking cold and I wish I brought gloves but I was happy I wore all the stuff I did
– the hot chocolate was warm chocolate by the time I got it, and they supposedly ran out if it and pizza at points
– they did have plenty of ice
– had seats behind home place, awesome
– Marlins are horrible, but Marshall curve was breaking huge and he would’ve put up a good performance against whoever
– still, the wind might have saved two HRs early.
– This time sacrificing, stealing and squeezing makes things interesting, but they’re still not very good
– fast games in the cold are great!
– traffic on the way home was superb
– I’ll scan in my box score when I get to a scanner

This might be the first win I’ve seen live in quite suite some time. Yay.
