Before the game, I checked the weather and decided it was winter football weather. I put on my long underwear and wore my heaviest coat with gloves and a snow hat.

Mike Cameron had 3 hits including a 2 run single (blooper) in the top of the 7th that broke the game open.<\/p>\n<p>In what was not a first for me, home plate umpire Jerry Crawford left the game because he was not feeling well \u2013 delaying the game for 13 minutes. I\u2019m not sure how many games I have been to when an umpire had to leave but I have seen Jerry Crawford leave a game before. He left in the 4th inning of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anygame-anywhere.com\/BoxScores\/Baseball\/MLB\/2003\/10-07-2003_Marlins_Cubs.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Game 1<\/a> of the 2003 NLCS for feeling ill. Both games the Cubs lost. I think I know who to blame for last night\u2019s loss now.<\/p>\n<p>A few other notables from last night&#8217;s game:<br \/>1) Derrek Lee tied a club record for home runs in April by hitting his 8th of the season.<br \/>2) Ben Sheet\u2019s walked a career high seven batters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cubs are back in town for a 3 game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.
