This blog post will detail how the teams did in games that I attended this season, but before we look at my regular season record, how about those Indians? In 2012 their record was a shaky 68 wins and 94 losses. This year they pulled off quite a turnaround: 92 wins and 70 losses.
Hmmm... The Cubs went 66 and 96 this year... could they win 90+ games next year? Yeah, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
On to the summary!
I went to 19 ball games this past season and saw 5 Major League Baseball games, 13 Minor League Baseball games, and 1 Independent League game.
I saw 1 Cubs win at Wrigley Field out of 4 contests. The other MLB game was this past weekend in St. Louis where I witnessed the Cardinals beat the bologna out of my Cubs.
Speaking of Cardinals and Cubs...
The Peoria Chiefs, a Cardinals' affiliate and my local team, won 6 games and lost only 3 in games that I saw at Dozer Park.
I saw the Kane County Cougars, a Cubs' affiliate, play seven games. I love my Cougars and didn't mind traveling to see them. They had 1 win in four attempts in Peoria, lost one game in the Quad Cities, and lost both of the games I attended in Kane County.
The Normal Cornbelters and Omaha Storm Chasers each won their respective home games that I attended.
Overall, the home team had a record of 11 wins and 8 losses in the 19 games I witnessed live.
The Cubs and their affiliates went 2 and 10 while the Cardinals and their affiliates went 7 and 3.
Why am I a Cubs fan again? Sheesh.
With a short summer this year I think nineteen games was a pretty good tally. Hopefully I'll be able to see a couple of new MLB ballparks next year and I can inch closer to my goal of seeing all thirty beautiful parks.
As always, I'll be Waiting 'til Next Year... perhaps I'll see this fly a few more times next year?
