DMcDIn case anybody is hoping to catch a ballgame, I just checked the MLB website for Cubs and White Sox schedules around the time of the National (July30-Aug 3) and ascertained the following: Cubs begin a homestand on Friday August 1. White Sox begin a homestand on Tuesday August 5. Cubs play Pirates Fri Aug 1 2:20pm, Sat Aug 2 TBA, Sun Aug 3 2:20pm, Houston Mon Aug 4 8:05pm, Tues Aug 5 2:20pm, Weds Aug 6 2:20pm, then 3 games vs St Louis. White Sox play Tigers Tues Aug 5 TBA, Weds Aug 6 TBA, Thurs Aug 7 TBA, then 4 vs Boston and three vs KC. On an o/t note, just an inch away on the map in Davenport, Iowa on the weekend preceding (July 24-27) will be the 35th Annual Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival http://www.bixsociety.org/ . My great, white hope is to get to Davenport, the National and to take in a game at Wrigley. Then I can die a happy man (and you guys can fight over my cards).
