A ballhawk's perspective on the goings-on OUTSIDE of Wrigley Field during the 2005 Chicago Cubs baseball season. Home-run tallies and batting practice counts of all the balls hit out of the park, plus interesting observations and tales of all walks of life that pass by the corner of Waveland and Kenmore.

All good things must come to an end - even a Cubs winning streak. Ok, ok, so one win ain't exactly a 'streak' but the way they've been playing lately, a win is a win.
But not tonight. And yes, LaTroy Hawkins had something to do with it, but I can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said already, so I'll stick to the good stuff - like batting practice and Southwest winds. With the Mets in town, Beltran, Floyd and Piazza didn't disappoint as they jacked quite a few onto Waveland and Sheffield. Unfortunately that trend did not continue during the game -- four homers in the game (3 Mets, 1 Cubs) but they all stayed in.
And after the heavy rains came, I stayed in too - where it was nice and dry. I guess I've become a fair-weather ballhawk. Oh, the shame...
Monday, May 9 : BP-21 [W-15,S-6], Roof-0, Foul-0, HR-0
Season: BP-120 [W-89,S-31], Roof-5 [A-4,C-1], Foul-0, HR-6 [W-4,S-2]
