ESPN decided to broadcast the Braves and Cubs game last night moving the start time of the game to 6:05 pm. I always prefer a 6 pm start to a Cubs game because I can plan to eat dinner after the game.

The Game
The Cubs took an early 4-0 lead and Randy Wells pitched 6 strong innings to lead the Cubs to a 4-2 victory over the visiting Atlanta Braves. Randy Wells is the first Cubs rookie since Kerry Wood to win four straight starts. Aramis Ramirez made his first start since injuring his shoulder on May 8.

Post Game Dining
With last night’s game lasting only 2.5 hours, I was able to meet Nicole at Pizza Rustica for dinner around 8:45 pm. Pizza Rustica is a good place to eat before or after a Cubs game because 1) you can get a table and 2) it is BYOB – just head to the liquor store under the Sheridan ‘L’ stop.
