Despite loads of positive energy coming from the Windy City due to having two teams in the post season, the Cubs having the best record in the National League, and Obama poised for a landslide victory in next month’s election (if you don’t believe me check out intrade.com), the Chicago teams both struck out in the first round of the playoffs.

I took the above picture at the aforementioned Cubs-Mets game last August at Wrigley Field. I believe Cliff Floyd is striking out. Although it may look like I had a great seat at the game, it was actually quite horrible. I was behind a pillar way down behind the bullpen 30 or so rows back. I just got lucky on this picture as most taken at 12X zoom, without a tripod, while the subject is moving, come out quite blurry.

The 756 in the background on the guy’s t-shirt is in reference to Barry Bonds’ chase of the home run record at the time. He hit #756 later that day. I remember watching it on TV back in my hotel room.
