I'm out fishing today - thought I'd put this drawing from 2003 in here.
On Memorial Day in 2003, the Cubs got spanked by the Pirates 10 to nothin.
Kerry Wood got the start and gave up one earned run through seven innings, but then Phil Norton, Juan Cruz, and Antonio Alfonseca gave up 9 runs in the last couple innings (you can look it up in the Baseball Almanac).
But the Cubs were 28-22, in first place, so it wasn't too bad.
Sammy Sosa was out with an injured big toe, and in a short time he'd come back and get caught with a corked bat.
As I recall, I smoked some ribs that day.
They were pretty good.
