Pity Post

Ok, so I wanted to post something (anything) so I'm throwing up some pictures from (you guessed it) our last Cubs game this year. Or at least the last one we have tickets for as of right now. This could change. I know this is a total cop out and lazy but whatever. Take it or leave it.

Here are a few of the pictures from the game. Oh yeah, the Cubs won of course...

Can I see your ID, kid?

Check out this video of a kid drinking beer at Wrigley. It was caught on WGN so this kid's dad is in some hot water once his mom sees it! We have been frequenting the bleachers this year and we have seen plenty of drunks that are likely below the legal age but this is just getting ridiculous.

Cubs games!

Until now, we would plan a trip once a year (if we could) to go see a Cubs game in Chicago. Now that we live here, it's a wee bit easier. So far, Damian has been to three games and Ashley has been to two. And the season has just begun...

The first game of the year for Damian was the second game of the year for the Cubs. It was against the Brewers and they lost. So we will move right along.

The first game that we both attended was against the 'stros. That was a win! We went for Steve Davis' (someone we went to high school with) birthday. We got to Murphy's Bleachers before they opened and managed to get a choice spot at a table on the outside patio right along the street so we could enjoy a few Old Styles before the game.

Dante' always seemed to be hovering around the beer...

Until he passed out.

CUBS WIN!!!

Then we went to Tigger's house?

Dante' managed to rally for beer pong

Then we went to Tuesday's game against the Reds. It was the first time back for both Dusty Baker and Correy Patterson. There were a few boos. Maybe a lot.

Cubs win again!

Cubs game!

Ok. Here are a few picutures from the game. It was a great time and the seats were simply incredible.

This is one of the pictures that shows just how close we were to the batters box.

Oh yeah, and as you can see the Cubs won 2-6.

After the game we wandered around town for a while. The weather was too great for us to just head back to the Residence Inn. On the way back to the train that night we were passed by a Gotham Swat Team truck. We were a little confused until we realized we were on the outskirts of where they were filming a scene for the new Batman movie. Just another random thing that added to a great day in Chicago.

Wrigley

We are heading downtown today to wander around and go to the Cubs vs. Mets game. We are really excited because we are in the third row, directly behind home plate. So if anyone is around a TV at 3 CT, we will be on Fox. We should be in camera view for every pitch. I'll post pictures, etc. tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to Bears practice at Soldier Field so I should have lots of pictures to post in the next couple of days.
