The Cubs continued a successful start to the second half of the season coming from behind against the Phillies. Aramis Ramirez hit a solo home run with two outs in the 8th inning to give the Cubs a 4-3 lead and Carlos Marmol struck out the side in the top of the 9th to secure the victory for the Cubs.

Beg, Borrow and Deal
As I was walking to the main box office to buy a ticket for the game, I walked by the McDonald’s macaroni which was installed outside of Wrigley Field a few weeks ago.

I ended up buying a $78.40 face value ticket for $15. The guy who I bought it from had no intentions to sell it and figured getting something for it was better than nothing.

Post Game Dining
After the game, the Ultimate Sports Wife and I ate dinner at Hearty (previously called Hearty Boys). Hearty is located at 3819 N. Broadway – just a few blocks from Wrigley Field. If you are looking for a nice dinner outside of the post game crowds of Wrigleyville than you should consider dining here as the food is good and the atmosphere relaxing.
