Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs

Sometimes not much excitement happens at a baseball game. Last night was one of those nights. With our season tickets already in hand, the Ultimate Sports Wife and I crossed the street to attend the Cubs game. The Cubs beat the Reds 7-3. Ryan Dempster became the first Cubs pitcher since Rick Reuschel in 1977 to win his first 10 decisions at home. An interesting side note, but nothing to get too excited about. The Cubs ended up 81-81 and 20 games behind division winner Philadelphia in 1977.

The more exciting news of the day was the Cubs trading for Rich Harden. As with any front line started, Cubs tickets maybe slightly harder to find in games that he pitches.
