Yesterday I missed my sixth Cubs game of the season which could be the last one I miss this season if my schedule works out as planned. Today, I planned to attend both the Chicago Cubs game and Chicago Bears pre-season game at Soldier Field.

Derrek Lee, who played Friday, was back at Wrigley Field on Saturday after never leaving Chicago after his trade from the Cubs to the Braves. The Cubs snapped their 8-game losing streak defeating the Braves 5-4.

Beg, Borrow and Deal
I was planning to buy a standing room only ticket. But rather than walk around the stadium I decided to pay an extra $3.20 and paid $20 for a $35.84 face value ticket and a seat.
