Yesterday was a great day for a Chicago Cubs game. The temperature was in the 60s and the sun was out \u2013 great weather for early May.<\/p>\n
Pre Game Dining<\/u>
The Ultimate Sports Wife and I ate brunch at Salt & Pepper Diner located at 3537 N. Clark St. We arrived at 11:15 am so I thought we might miss the first pitch. Even though there was a line, there were seats available at the counter. If you do not mind eating at the counter, skip the wait and grab seats. We were done with brunch by 11:45 am. Also, with $3 Bloody Marys and Mimosas, $7 Rolling Rock pitchers and $2 Old Styles it\u2019s hard to go wrong here.<\/p>\n
The Game<\/u>
The Cubs defeated the Marlins 6-1 as Ryan Theriot hit his second home run in as many days. Theriot only hit one HR in all of 2008 and only has 9 career home runs. <\/p>\n
Ted Lilly became the Cubs first pitcher to record 10 or more strikeouts and 2 or more RBI since September 21, 2005. He also became the first Cubs pitcher since July 13, 1998 to commit two balks in the same game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
