Cubbies 7, Mets 0
Beltran who?

Who says the Cubbies need Sosa and/or Alou (sorry Wendi)? After last night’s 4 homers, Cubbies lead the National League in homers. So what if the Cubbies are still trailing the Brewers in the Central standings....

Other highlights from last night’s game:

*For the first time ever, I saw the first pitch (Wendi...ahem...normally tardy...misses buses...)! Next goal: hear the national anthem from inside the stadium.

*All suburbanites should be banned from the City because of this woman: I actually heard Mimi’s twin ask “Why aren’t they putting up the Ks for the home-runs today?” Oh god, seriously?

*You know it is time to leave the City when with every public outing you run into someone you have dated. Yesterday’s misadventure: Gus, the first crazy Greek I dated in Chicago. He had a tendency to drunk dial frequently and generally lurk around.

*Quote of the day (brought to you by Wendi): “There is a saucy dude downstairs wearing a crab costume.”

*During the walk home, Joe Montana rode up in his sidewalk chariot and told Vauk she was cute.
