bleacher girl here...


on sunday the 30th, a bunch of us got together for another cubs game! not sure how many that makes this summer, but i can tell you that i've been to a lot. which is good. like i've said many a time...if you have never been to a game, you must put it on your to do list. in any case, my friend, katie's, parents were in town and had bought 12 bleacher tickets for them and various family members. unfortunately 6 family members were unable to go, so katie offered them to us at cost. i of course said, yes. in attendance: katie, her parents: anne and scott, her cousin, gabe, her friend, sarah (i met her the night before), sarah's friend whose name i don't recall, our friends: sonny, mark, and her brother, alex, with his wife, diane - who btw, is an olympic athlete in track!! i was just slightly impressed :) the 12th ticket was sold to scalpers in case you were doing the math.







the game itself was a lot of fun. we got there early b/c in the bleachers, the seats are first come first served and i knew i wanted an aisle for that big boot of mine. (please note boot in pic) we secured a couple rows of seats in the right field and got started with some beers. the day couldn't have been better: warm, but not hot. although i must admit, i did get burnt b/c i was dumb. i waited too long to put on sunblock. oops. at one point someone pointed out that mark cuban was sitting just to our right. for those of you who have no idea who this is, he is the dallas maverick's owner and at one point it was rumored he might buy the cubs. we ended up losing the game to the mets, but it was still a great time.

btw, sarah: mark is the guy in the top pic far left.
