Was I dreaming?
What a night! I am exhausted this morning but for very good reasons. I attended the Cubs game last night with my girls CG, Cat and FC2 and we had a blast. It was a beautiful day that turned into a slightly cool evening but the night was electric. Our boys were looking to sweep the Cardinals, and sweep them they did! It was amazing to watch and fun to be a part of. My favourite parts of the game - Jacque Jones' first hit as a Cub - a 3 run homer to take the lead and Michael Barrett's grand slam home run a few innings later to win the game for us. Both were intense and spectacular to watch. But the absolute best part of the evening…drinking with a few of the players after the game! We were out by the Cubs parking lot after the game when out walks Ryan Dempster, Glendon Rusch, Scott Eyre and Todd Walker who ended up headed to a bar down the street. CG & I were planning to head home but thought it would be fun to see what would happen. So we went to the bar and ended up chatting with Dempster for a while. He's a total joker and I love him for being that way. He knows how to have fun and it was great getting to know him. Too bad he, and everyone else, is married with kids. Ah well, I can dream!
