Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds, Wednesday August 15th, 2007

Rain delay's are a bitch. This game was supposed to have a 7pm start, but because of the thunderstorm that rolled through, it did not get rolling until 8:35. So what does this mean? I spent a solid 2 hours with 25% of my body covered by an umbrella getting 75% soaked and 100% drunk because there was so much time to get and drink beer. When this game finally got going there was a hilarious line dividing the dry part of my body from the wet part and I was on at least my 5th or 6th beer. But isn't that what makes baseball fun?

With Soriano out and a lefty pitching, the Cubs made an interesting move to start Jake Fox, a lefty who just got called up for this game. Fox was a ho-hum 1-4 for the night, but did manage to win an Oscar for Ray so he's got that going for him.



This was a very high scoring game with the Reds shitty pitcher getting pulled after only 2 innings, but still, there was so much offense that it ended up not mattering, because Druggy McHeroin, Josh Hamilton hit a 2 run homer to beat the Cubs 11-9. Adam Fucking Dunn, Captain Strikeout played left field for the Reds, but was decidedly unperturbed by the Wrigley Crowd as he had a homerun and 3 walks and only 1 strikeout. Ted Lilly looked like balls and kinda blew. But you know who is kind of awesome now? Jason Kendall. I'm not really gonna elaborate.

So it was a fun game, despite the weather and the long ass game which ended at 11:55pm. But the Cubs lost so there's that.

Final Score: Cubs 9 - Reds 11

Cubs Record in 2007 when I am in attendance: 4-5

Starting Pitchers:
Cubs - Ted Lilly
Reds - Phil Dumatrait and his awesome 7.71 ERA
