    Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread).

    I will be at the game in my Berkman jersey. Our tickets are right behind home plate in sec 202. Then we are due to fly back to Houston tomorrow at noon. Not sure if the flight will make it or not.

    Wow! What is your position with the Cubs? Any inside info for us?

    I'm hoping for another cataclysmic exit from the playoffs at the hands of a stupid fan, or perhaps due to a runaway string of ivy. Now, THAT will certainly be a great "last laugh"!

    The Cubs are far and away the better team. But, always be prepared, when running into a Houston-based sports forum with "GO CUBBIES!! BEAT THE ASTROS!!" to receive a few good-natured middle fingers. Mine are both waving in your general direction!

    You were posting as an Astros fan in the Mets series, and now you are calling us hicks and calling for a sweep by the cubs.

    Well, which is it?

    I swear, Jim Edmonds could be 65 and still make diving catches to screw the Astros. It's unreal.

    Chicago is under a tornado warning... skies almost solid black with tons of rain almost in... please let us get through the fifth. :(

    Just saw an update on the weather channel. Chicago is about to be pounded with some extreme weather very soon. There is a STRONG bow shaped echo (tornadic signature on radar) headed for Chicago quickly.

    Yup. Fortunately, we're through the fifth... nice job by Moehler.

    EDIT: You know, I've never seen a game played under a tornado warning before... you could tell they were desperate to get through 5, especially being soooo close. :) And as it turned out, even one or two more pitches and they might not have been able to finish it.

    Just got through five innings with the Astros ahead and it's rainning like the end of the world in Chi-Town :)
