As I had done Tuesday night, I sold my season tickets to my friend and his Dad for Wednesday afternoon’s Cubs game. My plan once again was to sit with them so I would just look for the cheapest seat possible. I could not find a cheap seat (less than $15) so I bought a Standing Room Only (SRO) ticket from the box office for $15 and sat with them throughout the game. As I normally write, seats are always available at Wrigley Field if you bought a SRO ticket.

The Game
Mike Hampton was lit up for 6 runs in the first inning and 9 runs over four innings as the Chicago Cubs cruised to a 12-0 win over the Houston Astros – the Cubs most decisive victory of the season. Randy Wells pitched eight shutout innings for the Cubs in route to his seventh win of the season – the most for a Cubs rookie pitcher since Kerry Wood had 13 in 1998.
