Cubs and Phillies

Haven't been writing much. Was on vacation in Kauai, which was awesome until the hurricane rolled through. Since then, just baseball and relaxing for the most part. I do very much want to log the baseball games that I go to for future reference, but I have very few words on them when I write about them so long after the fact (here a week later for some of these games). I might consider writing my thoughts on the train ride home from now on, we'll see. Regardless, big homestand, here's what I have on it:

Walk off extra-innings win before fireworks, excellent time, no notes. Went with a friend and former coworker. Leo Rivas, what have you done?!

Two walk-offs in a row, and perhaps the best Arozarena game I have ever seen, had a blast.

Went to this one with a friend who was at the game the night before with some family. "This one's more fun." I agree.

Left early, this was hard to watch. Got some cookie dough ice cream from Salt & Straw, was the best part of the day.
