Rockies vs. Cubs

Earlier this evening we went to the Rockies vs. Cubs game at Coors Field. Last night, Colorado won 2-10, so it was no surprise when Chicago got beat 4-8 tonight. Nevertheless, it was an exciting game. In the first inning, two runners got on base and Matt Holliday hit a three-run homer, and another run was scored after that.

Although the Cubs fans got pretty excited when a player hit a homer putting their score at half that of the Rockies, the normal Cubs fan spirit wasn’t there. When we sang “Take me out to the ballgame” for the seventh inning stretch, normally they yell “Cubbies” in place of “Home Team”, so I naturally yelled “Rockies.” This time, though, I was met with no opposition.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Cubs are in last place.
