Week of May 6th and May 13, 2013

Monday, May 6, 2013

 So I’ve been lax about doing updates to games I don’t go to.  I think 40 games may be a stretch for me this year, based on what’s going on w/work (arrgh… Work always ruins things!!  I thought last year would be tough to make 40 games, but this year is going to be tougher).  Anyways, it would be too hard for me to keep track of everyone else’s game counts, let alone mine.  So if Heather/Wigs are keeping game counts, I can include that in my recap.  I already lost count of Kevin games (and I guess I could figure it out if we want to go that way).  So this thing is evolving, and for anyone who is sticking around – thanks!!

Cubs vs. Texas Rangers (rainout makeup date from 4/17/2013)

Kevin & Wigs, Randy and assorted friends (I think Kat & Scott)

I was in SD, as in South Dakota sadly, not San Diego.  Heather was in FL.  So it was a rare Boys Night Out at the ballpark as Kevin was in town.  And Randy Was going to a night game.  He’s more of a day-game guy. 

Funny Story – Randy , Heather & I are pretty reliable for Friday games, and we’ve met a lot of his friends, co-workers, office-sharing mates, etc..  On Monday night, Randy was introducing Kevin/Wigs to his friends and said something along the lines of “You remember Heather/Julie from Friday games?  These are their Husbands.”  Ha ha – cracked me up. 

While I was enjoying dinner at Minerva’s in Yankton, SD, Kev, Wigs, et al were at the Cubs/Rangers makeup game (from rainout on April 17).  Cubs win 9-2!  Kev was under-dressed for the cold weather (really?? In this crappy spring, how does this happen??), and said he left early.  Not sure on any details of anything L  Sorry…

Recap:

Cubs win 9-2.  Not including the games I don’t go to in my recap W-L record. 

Parking update:  Today was a quick one: $25 a spot, and Trish and I filled them in about 15 minutes.

I sold my Monday extra ticket on Stub Hub for $11.47 (net of StubHub charges; face value $30.24).  I sold the Tuesday ticket for $24.22; face value $42.56.  Wednesday went unsold). 

Rest of the week:  Cubs/St. Louis on Tues/Weds night.  Both Kev and I out of town, and not sure if Wigs went. 

Meanwhile - we were monitoring the OMG fascinating events in Cleveland:
