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.

Anyone who listens to the news on radio/TV is familiar with their regular segments - "weather on the ones", "scores on the fours", "traffic and weather on the eights", etc. Well, I have one more to add to that list - "long drives on the forty-fives".
Today's game started at 1:20 pm, and at 1:45 pm, Colorado's JD Closser cracked a 2-run homer in the top of the second that landed out on Sheffield.
Top of the fifth, Preston Wilson whacked one onto Waveland for his third homer in three days. A quick glance at the center field scoreboard clock told me it was 2:45 pm.
Finally, in the bottom of the 7th, Todd Walker hit a solo shot to Sheffield. The time? [cue the Twilight Zone theme music...] 3:45 pm.
Weird, wild, wacky stuff...
