Friday. September 16

I took all these pictures from our seats, section 114A row c, just 3 rows from the field.

Could not have asked for better seats, Andy loved that he could see everything!

Marlon Byrd hit the first home run of the evening.

Soriano hit the last homerun that tied the game in the 9th inning.

Our seats were right at the end of the Cubs dug out so we could see all the players

We really didn't want to see the stacks go off at the end of the game, but we had a wonderful evening!

Last night we celebrated Father's Day and Mr. B's May birthday by using his present from Sara and Matt. We had the most phenomenal seats at the Great American Ball Park to watch the Cubs play the Reds. The weather was better than expected, at least it didn't rain, and the game was pretty exciting for two teams that just can't seem to get things together. The Cubs jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the 1st inning with 2 homeruns. Of course in true Cub fashion they gave that lead up when they gave up 6 unanswered runs in the 4th inning. Mr. B was ready to go at the top of the 9th but I convinced him to stay stating that we needed to get our moneys worth from our $17 parking spot. Sure enough, the Cubs scored 2 on Soriano's homer with Campana on base. Unfortunately, that elation was short lived as the Cubs gave up a walk off homer in the 11th inning. We still had a great time and Mr. B really enjoyed his birthday present. The last time the girls gave him tickets for his birthday we went to Chicago because Sara and Matt were living there. That was in May and we about froze. I thought we would be warmer last night but it was still a little chilly. Thanks Sara and Matt for the wonderful gift. Matt you did good picking out the seats!
