Answers:
2. Game lasts for 9 innings, normally 2 1/3 to 3 hrs. An innning is when both teams has taken turns to hit the baseball. A team's turn hitting is over when there are 3 outs. An out is made by either a) catching a fly ball. b) getting 3 strikes or c) the ball reaching first base before the hitter getting there.
3. Cubs are in last place in their division 7 wins, 12 losses, while the Brewers are in first place, 12 wins and 7 losses. It's still early in the year though, and wrigley field is one of the oldest stadiums and a blast to go to..whether the cubs win or lose.
Ok, I already tried to ask this question, but accidentally left out part of it.?
Here's a local link to a news article. The Cubs are not quite living up to expectations so far, but it's still early.http://www.nbc5.com/mlb002/13001802/deta...
More than anything enjoy Wrigley Field. That's a sacred spot in baseball. On October 1, 1932 Babe Ruth hits his famous "called shot" in the 5th inning of Game 3 of the World Series. Find lots more at:

Enjoy the game.
How many innings was the longest MLB game ever?
Just know that the Stadium 8 miles south (US Cellular Field) is by far a superior stadium. There are such things at US Cellular that you won't find at Wrigley:1) Fans who pay attention to the field, not their beer.
2) Individual urinals - not group tubs
3) Views of the field not obstructed by poles.
4) Parking
5) Hot Dogs and Polish with grilled onions. Wrigley food sucks.
6) A modern scoreboard.
7) Wide, open concourses.
8) easy access off 2 major highways.
9) Tailgating
10) Soundsystem where you can hear the P.A. announcer.
Other than that - enjoy. Right - and the Cubs are in last place.
What is the record for HR and RBI's in a single month?
Jeff Suppan is taking the mound against Rich Hill. Hill leads major league starters with a 0.41 ERA and beat the Brewers in his first outting carrying a shut out into the sixth inning before Corey Hart's solo home run. Suppan is looking to win his third straight, while he had a shaky start his last time out, loading the bases in the first inning, he escaped with no runs crossing the plate. The Brewers rallied from 0-4 to beat the Cubs last night 5-4 on two Prince Fielder big flies in a 12 inning game that lasted 4 and a half hours. Normal nine inning games will last anywhere from 2 and half to 3 and half. The Cubs are in last place in the NL Central, right where they belong. They have been the epitome of choke artists pretty much the last century. The Brewers are in first place in the NL Central with a talented, confident core of young players. Oh ya, they also don't have a fat, big mouthed *** of a pitcher by the name of Zambrano. Do yourself a favor and forget what the song says about routing for the home team, cheer for a winning team tonight. Enjoy.More Questions & Answers...
