Following a 90-minute rain delay, the Cubs fought through wind, misty rain, and 40-degree temperatures to lose by just eight runs to the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-2. I was at Wrigley tonight. This was my journey.
6:54pm. My friends and I reach our seats in Section 213. It is cold; it is rainy. The tarp is on the field; the right field jumbotron informs us that first pitch will be delayed due to inclement weather. Maybe a rainout is the optimal outcome here, considering that Brett Anderson is starting.
8:10pm. The tarp is off the field, which is good.
