August 29, 2016: Extra Extra

posted in: Cubs | 2

Did you stay up to see the end of the Cubs Pirates game Monday night?  I actually was awake, and I was very pleased with the ending.

We’ve pretty much owned the Pirates. After Monday’s win, 10-3 against them this year. Plus, you know, the whole wild card game last year.  Might as well put a fork in them, but they did come to play Monday night in Wrigley.

Cubs had the early lead, but Jake gave it up. A three run opposite field bomb by Polanco gave the Pirates the lead. I like that guy. Had him on my fantasy team last year; his price was a bit too high for me this year. By the way, since you asked, it looks like I will make the fantasy baseball playoffs again, trying to defend my title. It was a tough year, but my team is finally coming together, and just at the right time.

Back to the game…the Cubs were far from done. The comeback was complete when Soler hit an opposite field home run of his own to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. He’s been a bit hot since coming back…remember, the best trade may be the one we didn’t make.  Extra, Extra… It was on to extra innings!

Talk about some exciting but frustrating innings.  Baez got thrown out twice at home in extras.  Yet, it never felt like we still couldn’t pull this out.  Chance after chance went by the boards til finally the Bucs struck in the top of the 13th; did they finally have us?

Nope.  The Cubs struck back for 2 in the bottom of the inning topped off by a walk off single by Montero.  This game was just another one of the many memorable moments for this Cubs squad.

The game lasted until after midnight.  I was debating what game to send my parents to; I chose Tuesday over this night.  I hope it pans out.  Although a tough act to follow, don’t think they would have made it to the end, no matter how much my mom likes the Cubs.  So, maybe a walk off in regulation today?  I’ll take a win any way tonight, just so she can sing that song after the Ws are hoisted.

After this and one more vs Pittsburgh, it’s 4 with San Francisco; the team that many people think will give the Cubs their toughest challenge.  I remember last year facing them at Wrigley; that propelled us a bit.  Let’s see how this one goes.

Before that, time to put another nail in the Pirates coffin.  Feels good to be in this position.  Love this season.
