Well, that didn't go well. Harvey was dealing and the Mets defense was great. Still had a great time. Good atmosphere and pretty nice Mets fans around me. (Even the blotto guy in front of me who kept trying to high-five me after every good Mets play. "Dude, I'm a Cubs fan. I ain't high-fiving you.") And the $12 beers helped dull the pain.
As for my "trip," I'm on Long Island, Valley Stream specifically. Easy ride on the LIRR. Tough being a Cubs fan in these parts and they only come to town once a year, so I don't get to see them all that often. Haven't been to Wrigley in years. Dying to go again. As for this series, the Cubs really need Arrieta to step up tonight. If they go down 0-2, Cubs are in big trouble. They just don't have the pitching to match up with the Mets' young guns. My one consolation about last night was that we hit a lot of balls hard. It wasn't like Harvey was untouchable. Just seemed to hit the ball right at people (literally, in Harvey's case; that ball nearly took his head off), or the Mets would make a terrific defensive stop. Anyway, hope we can make a series of it. Go Cubs!
