Brewers 0 @ Cubs 2 - 6/28/05- Nothing to exciting about this game except for the its the last one with Joe Bor in uniform for the Beloved.

Brewers 2 @ Cubs 3 -6/29/05 - Mr. DL Kerry Lee Wood comes off of the injured list meaning the great Joe Bor, he of the 34 saves in 03, must be let go. Cubs win in the 9th in a meaningless affair. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=250629116

Cubs 3 @ Reds 9 - 7/20/05 - Kerry Lee Wood gets injured after an ineffective few innings ruining my first game ever in Cincinatti. Thank God for Papa Johns afterwards.

Cubs 6 @ Reds 9 - 7/21/05 - More of the same in the armpit of America. Jerry Hairston does make an amazing catch to keep a brief lead for the Cubs. Novoa blows it an inning later. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=250721117
