Pic o the Day 50

left to right - Scott, Fresno Chris, Dave Foley and Mike Bates. This picture was taken by a photographer, then posted online for you to purchase at a ridiculous price (just like Great America.) Not wanting to fork over my hard earned $$s, I stole it from the webpage to post here, hence the copyright protection scrawled across our faces. It was cool enough to post but not cool enough to buy for a lot of dollars.

When Cubs tickets went on sale in early March, I waited online for nearly 4 hours to purchase my tickets for the April 28-30 series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field. In case you don't remember, Mike Bates took me to a game last season on April 9th (check out that day's adventure here) so I wanted to repay the favor by taking him to one this year. I also brought along my good friend Dave Foley and my roommate Fresno Chris. I was extremely hung over from the night before, but that didn't stop me from celebrating a 16-2 Brewers rout that included a solid outing by Doug Davis, home runs by Prince Fielder, Bill Hall, Rickie Weeks, Carlos Lee and J.J. Hardy, as well as a chance to stick it back to the Cubs fans. It was an exhilarating day with 3 of my best buddies, and a day that I will never forget as long as I shall live.
