Off to Saint Louis on June 20 to see the Cubs take on the Cards.  So far our moving the trip to June from the heat of July has worked perfectly.  It touched 90 on Thursday in Saint Louis but being a night game, the evening was perfect.

The Cards prevailed 6 to 1 in a game with no particular high points.  Busch Stadium is lovely with the added benefit of the Arch behind the outfield wall.  Ryan did nail his fourth ball of the trip on a toss from the Saint Louis third base coach.  Given that we sit behind the visitors dugout in visitor’s garb, the decision to toss the ball Ryan’s way elicited quite the negative reaction of the crowd as Ryan snared the toss in his Cubbies Cap.

Just a few shots from the evening.  Off to Kansas City for game 6 on Friday where the forecast includes a warning for “hot and humid conditions.”
