The Umpire’s inability to call a simple strike (for both clubs) tricked Maddon into thinking he was struggling.

Remember Mark Grace? He was pretty good in that “we were dumb in the 80's and were ok with a slick fielding 1B who hit 6 HR a year” sense.

I’ve seen so many posts about how they need to get Steve Bartman to throw out the first pitch for their 2017 opening day, or how they need to get him in the parade.

I don’t understand the pulling on Hendricks AT ALL. Dude was pitching well, he hadn’t thrown that many pitches...it was the 5th! Maddon doesn’t have an Andrew Miller to dominate the middle innings.

Who better than Joe Buck to make the legendary call: “The Cubs have won the World Series.”
