Tornado sirens going off in the background. Lance Berkman running for cover during a pitch. Oh, and the Cubs lose in 7.5 innings. That stinks, but at least no one was fried at the park.



That video is a slight contrast to this photo taken earlier in the year when God promised to allow the Cubs to finally win a WS (That, or he promised that the homosexual community would always be allowed to inhabit Wrigleyville).

i saw the huge lightning bolt behind the stadium that sent Lance Berkman right into the dugout on television last night.

I was airborne and missed it last night. The local stations dropped all sports coverage due to 24-hour Edouard coverage so I guess I am going to keep hoping to get lucky seeing it on Sportscenter.

I found a site that had a bunch of videos shot from Wrigley last night. If you have never heard a tornado siren before, the first one is a must-see. That sound brings back some scary memories of my time in Indiana as a kid.
(I also recomend the 6th one if you are pressed for time.)

Nothing touched down around the stadium, but there were three reports of tornados within 10 miles or so.

That is pretty much what it looks like, though.
