What a game!

This week's article is dedicated to just baseball. This World Series earned that!

Game Seven of this World Series between the Cubs and Indians will probably be remembered for a very long time. If you only watched the first six innings you would probably ask why. The Cubs took the lead as fast as they possibly could have on a Dexter Fowler leadoff home run, a first in a World Series game seven. The Cubs’ offense was finally able to get to the Indians’ star starting pitcher Corey Kluber with five runs going into the seventh inning.

The Cubs’ starter was doing very well, but Cubs manager Joe Madden decided (for some strange reason) to take out his pitcher, Kyle Hendricks. This opened up the door for the Indians to come back in the game. The Cubs decided to use John Lester, who is normally a starting pitcher. He proceeded to give up two hits and then uncorked a wild pitch which allowed two runners to score! Another World Series first. The Cubs got another run on a home run by 39 year old catcher David Ross, but is almost wasn't enough.

In the eighth inning, the Indians tied the game on a two run home run by the Indians’ centerfielder Rajai Davis. The sound of the crowd was deafening!

The game began taking another weird turn in the 10th inning when there was a 17 minute rain delay, followed by the Cubs scoring two runs to go ahead. In the bottom of the 10th inning, the Indians scored one run, but ran out of outs and the game ended 8-7 Cubs. What a game!

I am very happy that the Chicago Cubs finally pulled off this win. I've never been one to believe in curses. The Cubs fans outside Wrigley Field in Chicago went wild after the 108 year supposed "curse" was broken. I wish that Harry Caray had still been alive to see this. This year's postseason baseball was extremely exciting.

I can't wait to get next season started already. Go Phillies in 2017. I can dream can't I?
