Go Cubs Go, An Appreciation
Fowler hits a home run leading off. The team that scores first in the seventh game of the World Series has gone 15-1. The Cubs built a lead of 5-1 and folks were starting to count down to a Cosmic World Series.
In the 5th inning the wheels started to come off. A bad throw by Ross the catcher, allowed Cleveland to claw back a lot closer. Ross makes up for his error with a home run in his last game. The Cosmic World Series is again looking good. Lester, who had come in for Hendricks settled down,
Chapman came in for Lester who had relieved Hendricks. Baez had hit a home run to make up for an error. Things seemed good until it became clear that Kluber, Hendricks, and Chapman's arms were tired and the hitters were zoning in after seeing these guys often enough in a seven game series. Chapman blew a 6-3 lead. The game as headed to extra innings. The game was tied and then it started to rain.
About twenty minutes late the Cubs came out and the bats were blazing. The Cubs jumped to another lead 8-6. Next reliever Edwards got two outs before the Indians clawed back again. Montgomery the ultimate reliever got the last out on a dribbler to Bryant.
The Cubs win!
I never believed in curses. The Cubs in 2016 had the best record in baseball. Cleveland played great but the Cubs wore their pitching down. This seventh game was a great game. I believe the best team won.
When they escaped the 9th inning tied, I breathed a little easier, I remembered the team that scored first had gone 15-1. Schwarber probably deserves special mention for his playoff hitting, but Schwarber, Bryant, Rizzo, and Zorbristst were a hell of a murders row.
