Through a stroke of luck, around noon today I got a call from an old friend inviting me to go the game with him today. Great to be back at Wrigley. I was surprised how normal it seemed. While there were a number of people wearing masks, seemed like most fans were not. No social distancing. Given all that, not sure how limiting attendance to 25,000 accomplishes much. And I take covid-19 very seriously.
What a fun game to watch. Strange, but the Cubs looked like a potential championship team (w/ Bryant and Contreras on the bench, and Heyward, Hoerner, Duffy,Bote, Marisnick, and Romine on IL), while the Padres looked like the Cubs were supposed to look this season. Baseball certainly is an unpredictable game. Alzolay and the bullpen looked especially good. Rizzo was Rizzo and Alzolay was fun to watch, at the plate, on the bases and in the field.
