Reds 8 Cubs 3

Zambrano picthing. Wind blowing out. Ramirez out. Jacque Jones out. Barrett leading the league in RBI's!

Dusty's lineup:
Pierre Cf
Hairston 2b
Lee 1b
Murton LF
Pagan RF
Cedeno SS
Perez 3b
Blanco C
Zambrano P

Wind blowing out and you rest one of your hottest hitters who just had a day off on Monday??!!
Put more pressue on Murton by moving the rookie to 4th? Put more presure on Cedeno by batting him 6th. Pagan 5th? Oh by the way Lee was walked 3 times.

New outfield bleachers:
They are great! The walkway around the back of the bleachers are great. Easier access to vendors back there. You can access the rest of the ballpark (poviding you keep your bleacher ticket). From the outside you can't even tell there are more (or new) bleachers.

Scalpers(actual ticket brokers around the park) wanted $45 for 1 bleacher seat (value day price $15). One guy went down to $35 pretty quickly. I was only paying face so I waited. Other brokers gave me a line of b.s. Pretty amusing. Bought a ticket from a kid at face 20 minutes before game time.

Can't get home though. Tollway construction on 90 and construction on Palatine Rd. make the trip home quite lenghty.
