Ho hum Cubs Win
Down 6-0 the Cubs:
Put their left handed reliever in left field to use him two innings later on the mound. He makes a remarkable catch in the ivy, while in left. The catcher breaks up a game ending double play in the ninth with his legs. Tag the Seattle closer with three runs in the bottom of the ninth, the last scoring on a wild pitch, to tie the game. Move position players around the field like checkers in the late innings using 22 players in the process Use Lester, hitting .075, as a pinch hitter in the 12th with Heyward on third and one out, with Lackey warming up in the pen. With a two strike count he lays down a perfect bunt to win the game. Gotta love Maddon. This could be the year the Cubs bring the World Series back to the north side of Chicago without "Three-Fingered" Brown. |
