Cubs Game

On July 5th, as a Mother's Day gift, we got to see The Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field! We got there early to check out the stadium and batting practice. Also, we were four of the first 10,000 fans to arrive, so we got Ted Lilly T-shirts! We hung out close to the field to be up close by the Cubs during batting practice, and after a while we went to find our seats - the third row in the upper deck. It felt very high at first, but we got used to it as the game went on.


Ted Lilly was the starting pitcher, and he did very well! There were all the other normal starters in too (besides ARam, who was still injured). We got hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, sodas, and pizza. We had a great time watching the game, even though we were high above the field.


The Cubs have had a little bit of an on-and-off season, so we weren't sure how well they'd do. But they proved us wrong and won 8-2 versus the Milwaukee Brewers! Derrek Lee hit a three-run home run, and Jake Fox hit one to the street behind Wrigley! Marmol and Heilman came in as relief pitchers for Ted Lilly. We were so proud of the Cubs!
