20th Anniversary

#1 Post by ne1410s » Fri Aug 08, 2008 8:11 am

Of the first night game at Wrigley Field. 8/8/88

With typical Cubbie cache (I can't make that little thing over the e), the game was rained out and played the next day.

The only thing I ever think of when I think of that game is Phil Bradley losing out on a claim to fame....

I believe Kevin Gross started that game for the Phillies. His previous start was 5 days earlier here in St. Louis, and it's Game #3 in my all time game log....

The Today show was getting all worked up on how lucky the Chinese consider 8/8/08 to be and said this only happens once in a hundred years!!!!!. I was thinking what about 8/8/88 wouldn't that be even more lucky?
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
