As is normally the case, I made sure I bought Nicole a flight that landed in Chicago after the Cubs game. This way I could attend the game and still pick up Nicole. However, I debated on whether to attend this game tonight since I was already in the suburbs before the game and had to drive to O\u2019Hare airport after the game. But then I thought this could be the first four game sweep I ever witness. I have attended two other four game series this year at Wrigley and both ended with the Cubs winning three out of four (not sure how).<\/p>\n
Beg, Borrow and Deal<\/span> San Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs<\/span> In fact, the last time the Cubs lost 1-0 was on June 16, 2007 which was also versus the Padres and a game I also attended.<\/p>\n Once again the crowd at Wrigley Field was sparse. The entire stadium was barely half full (including the bleachers) \u2013 a sight I cannot remember seeing for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As is normally the case, I made sure I bought Nicole a flight that landed in Chicago after the Cubs game.

\nMy neighbor wanted my season tickets for tonight\u2019s game so I needed to buy a single. I was late and wanted to get into the game quickly so I did not negotiate as well as I could have paying $20 for a $60.48 Ticket<\/p>\n
\nThe Padres\u2019 Jon Garland and Cubs\u2019 Randy Wells each pitched seven strong innings, but Garland was better as the Padres defeated the Cubs 1-0 \u2013 the third 1-0 game I have seen this season and my 16th overall 1-0 game.<\/p>\n
