May 25, 2012, Iowa Cubs at Memphis Redbirds

Charles and I headed to AutoZone Park Friday, May 25th to watch the Iowa Cubs take on the Memphis Redbirds.  We arrived in time to watch the end of the Cubs' batting practice...

 I heard bagpipes being played and had to check it out 
and, of course, had to take a picture of all those kilts!
 We enjoyed some bbq nachos before the game started - delicious!
 Then settled in our seats for the game.  
Our seats were close to the field and right behind the Cubs' dugout. 
Carlos Marmol is rehabbing and was on the roster for the game.  During the game, I happened to look at the Cubs' dugout and saw Carlos Marmol!
 Charles called to him, and we got a wave in response!

The Cubs batted pretty well...
 and got on base throughout the game...
 Pitching was pretty good too.  We saw Marmol in action for an inning...
 and saw several guys who will hopefully make it to the bigs!
 Here's Clevenger on 3rd, Vitters batting, and Jackson on deck...

The score ended up being Iowa Cubs 2 and Memphis Redbirds 1
GO CUBS GO!!
