One of the best games I've watched all year. I called the Baez homer, and i called the beanball next inning. Honestly was hoping for a fight. The way that crowd welcomed Chapman, who's first three pitches were 101,103,103 , made it feel like a playoff game.

I love how his breaking ball is like 92 mph lol
Randy Johnson style.

I died laughing when he threw it , looked at my brother and said, "you know that 91 looks like 81 mph after an 103 fastball. You can tell he's excited to be in Chicago.

Lol, that 91 looks like a knuckleball after the heater!
Is it impossible to get tickets that don't cost hundreds? I'm a 6 hour drive away...

You can definitely score tickets for a bargain. Hit up the chicago craigslist (carefully lol). Also a couple good ticket apps for Android. You definitely have to catch a game at the friendly confines.

I saw them in '98 interleage at the metrodome, and at Wrigley in June. Sosa homered, of course.
It would be rad to catch them nowadays! I'm looking in to it...

They moved Wrigley down to 35th street.

98 was wonderful. I have a family member who had a position as the Chaplain for the Cubs for several years starting in 99 lol. He has several baseballs signed by Sammy

I had season tickets that year. Grandstand, fourth row, third base side, last seat. Not the best seats but you could get away with smoking a J pretty easily. Let the seats go when they raised the price 40%.

I remember meeting a very young Zambrano at a family picnic. Mark Prior is a very nice guy. Kerry Wood is an asshole. Watched Jose Valentin (sox) and his dad play fastpitch softball in Humboldt park. Bartman who? Wasn't his fault....

You can get in fairly cheap..check out stub hub or get a scalper at the bottom of the first inning outside the park.

Zambrano was a freak, dude could throw 95 right handed and 91 left handed...I always wanted to see him moved to first base after he stopped enjoying pitching..he could hit the shit out of the ball.

One of the best hitting pitchers ever. Switch hitter too! Lol he got a little big headed but I'll never forget those days
