At The Old Ball Game

Asked the waiter how to get to "the stadium", he said "Two blocks down, two over. Take the Red Line to Howard, can't miss it." He was talking about the Cubs' park, not the White Sox. When we got to the Cubs' park, we discovered the error. Luckily, it's on the same line, just different directions.

So, 40 minutes later, we get to the Sox' field, just in time for a Sox grand slam in the 2nd. We'd never seen one of those, live. So...Sweet!

There was a nice moment in the top of the 9th when the Sox' center fielder jumped and snagged a ball that was pretty much over the fence, thus keeping the Rays from scoring at all. Otherwise it was a relatively uneventful 7 innings as the Sox' pitcher threw a perfect game - the first for the Sox since 1922, and only the second in their history.

The place went nuts.
