Cubs v. Reds

We didn't stay until midnight to watch the end of this rain-delayed game. We did see Tony the Tiger throw out a ceremonial pitch though...















The Cubs tweaked the lineup on Wednesday, hoping to generate some offense. That worked, but the pitching faltered and the Cincinnati Reds rallied for an 11-9 victory over the Cubs, who are still very much alive in the Central Division race. At least we think so.

"It seems like we're in a pennant race -- I'm not too [darn] sure," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said after the rain-delayed game ended shortly after midnight.
