The Chicago Cubs dropped the first of a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon, losing 7-4. Kosuke Fukodome belted a three-run shot in the bottom of the fifth to put the Cubs on top 4-3, but the Cardinals evened the score when Khalil Greene took reliever Aaron Heilman deep in the top of the sixth. With bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the same inning, Chicago sent Milton Bradley to the plate for his first appearance at Wrigley as a Cub. Bradley would not be the hero today, however, as he struck out looking and was subsequently ejected from the game for arguing with the home-plate umpire. The Cards added two runs in the seventh and another in the eighth, while the Cubs were held hitless in the final three frames. David Patton got the loss and Heilman a blown save. The Cubs and Cards will do it again tomorrow at 1:20.

Man, that third strike call on Milton Bradley was horrible with a capital H. I would have been tossed too.
All was not lost, however, as numerous fans exiting Wrigley Field reported getting "Totally Bombed!" during the game. Additionally they were appreciative of the outstanding cell phone reception in the stadium. Numerous successful pickups occurred and everyone left happy.
Oh my gosh! Cubs fans drink and don't pay attention to the game? What an interesting and original observation. Hey, how about those airplane peanuts? And boy, do women love shoes! I gotta million of 'em.
Thanks UTV! I knew you'd get it!
