It wasn't quite as chilly for this game as it had been for the previous one. Again, I had an excellent seat behind the plate from which to view all the action. The ushers are extremely watchful at Wrigley Field - they don't allow people to sit in the wrong section, and never allow people to sit closer to the front than the seat location indicated on their ticket.
This game looked as if it was headed for extra innings as well, with the score tied at 3 late on in the game, until Carlos Peña hit a massive 3-run shot in the bottom of the 8th to seal the game for the Cubs. After the Reds were put away in the top of the 9th, the celebrations started - and everything was noticably more jolly than after the previous night's loss.
There was another play at the plate tonight, this time more exciting as the runner did actually attempt to score the run, unlike Brandon Phillips the night before who got only 75% of the way down the line before just stopping in front of the catcher waiting to tag him out - after which both players hugged each other and went back to their respective dugouts.
