Mason and I went to our first Cubs game of the season yesterday. The Cubbies beat the evil Brewers to take a 2 game lead in the NL Central over the surging St. Louis Cardinals.
We had a great time watching the game and watching the fans. It was "Free Hat Day" sponsored by Arby's, so hey, we each got new hats! We ate hot dogs, but no Cracker Jacks. There was also a very cool orange full moon. Did I mention that the Cubs won? There were a few signs around Wrigleyville that said, "99th Time is a Charm" - that's pretty funny.
Unfortunately, we had to leave at the 7th inning stretch (sung by Bob Uecker, you remember him...Wacky World of Sports guy, Miller Lite commercials, Major League movies. Cubs fans booed him because he's also the Brewers radio announcer, lol) because the woman behind me had too much to drink - too much that some of it came up over the top, if you know what I mean, onto my back. Needless to say, Mason and I were a little upset. Mason was shocked that it happened, I was shocked that it wasn't some 20 something idiot - this woman was easily 40. Actually, this would be very funny if it happened to somebody else, I even have a little grin right now just thinking about it - I hope she had to get to work early today ;-)
Overall though, we had a great time. Thanks Mike; for the tickets!

The "evil" Brewers!!! I don't think I can read your blog anymore Max!! Okay just kidding. I am actually not that big a Brewers fan...I grew up in super Northern WI where people cheered for the Twins...who are way more evil than the Brewers!
Actually, they are only evil if they win the NL Central, haha. It was a good game and hopefully will be a good series, this might come down to the wire - I just hope the Cards don't sneak in there and steal it!
