Down 1-3 in the series, Cubs lodge an unforgettable comeback to win it all in the most fascinating fashion and perhaps the most exciting game 7 of any sports. #GoCubsGo #FlyTheW
We decided to watch the game at B Dubs (Buffalo Wild Wing - Skokie) with a packed full house and eager crowd and made our way to Wrigleyville after the win.
Chicago carried a lead late into the game, then lost it (unexpectedly, potentially tragically) in the eighth behind their overworked closer, Aroldis Chapman.And at that moment, as Cleveland's Rajaii Davis tied the score at 6 with a two-run homer, there was no reason—logically—to think Chicago would win. They were on the road—bullpen was bare, star reliever exposed, crowd going wild. But these Cubs aren't yesterdays' Cubs. They fought back, took a lead in the 10th, held on behind rocky pitching.
The Cubs made me a kid again, sitting before a small color TV, mitt in hand, diving left, lunging right, mimicking the plays and motions of my heroes.
