Sox & closer Kimbral blow a 3-0 lead to lose 5-3 to Yankees. Your ace closer gives up 3 walks. Bases loaded and no outs. It's a snapshot to file away. It was fun to watch.
Sure, big offense vs best defense in baseball. The classic battle.
The Cubs have no flaws. The Sawks pitching is hugely flawed. Pitching and defense is more repeatable than offense but let's do it.
Theo Epstein allows me a legitimate excuse to be a Cubs fan. Saw they gave him a 5 year extension. They had better be paying this sure fire Hall of Fame executive more than that nitwit in LA, Andrew Friedman.
