The day started out with a matinee at Wrigley Field between the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs.

Pre Game Dining
While walking in the area Wednesday morning, I discovered that Cozy noodles & rice had a 2-for-1 entrée game day special by showing your Cubs ticket. One problem with Wrigleyville is that it is hard to find a sit down restaurant that is not over crowded. However, Cozy noodles & rice (located at 3456 N. Sheffield Ave.) is rarely full and two can eat for the price of two hot dogs in Wrigley Field with their current game day special.

The Game
Every player in the game wore the number 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson day and Michael J. Fox sang the 7th inning stretch. The Rockies defeated the Cubs 5-2 in Cubs’ starter Rich Harden’s shortest start since July 7, 2007. Harden only pitched three innings after striking out the first four batters he faced.
