Cubs win! Cubs win!

JTL and I just got back from our first ever Cubs game at Wrigley Field. It was pretty awesome. There was beer, peanuts, hotdogs, and thousands of CRAZY cubs fans in the bleacher seats where we were sitting. Nearly every person had at least one piece of Cubs paraphernalia on their person. The cake: this older chick had on a cubs jersey, earrings, and hair tie plus cubs logos/slogans written on her body and face. She was also sitting on a Cubs flag.

Highlights:

* When a member of the Reds hit a home run, someone caught it in the bleachers. Immediately everyone started yelling "THROW IT BACK! THROW IT BACK!" so the person threw it into the out field.

* They had organ music playing during the warm-up and one song was (and I shit you not) "Tell It To My Heart" by Taylor Dayne.

* One guy spilled beer on JTL and bought him a replacement. He informed us that he had been to 43 baseball games that year.

* Singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' was hilarious, everyone made the gestures and was really enthusiastic. Ditto for the national anthem (one lady held up the peace sign...)

* Everyone got a free Cubs keychain! I'm a real Chicagoan now.

* Bleacher fans can drink like no other. Everyone was double fisting beers the whole time, including during the 8th inning. Our very own JTL was one of them.

Tomorrow we're going to another game, but this time sitting in the stands. Until then, enjoy some photos of our adventure:
