They got the power, they got the speed to be the best in the National League. Well this is the year and the Cubs are real, so come on down to Wrigley Field. -Steve Goodman
Public Service Announcement: Friendly confines? I’m not so sure. The Cubs may have been the best team in the National League during the regular season, but they sure did look sloppy last night. And the night before. Lou Piniella: The last two days, they’ve probably been the two worst games we’ve played all year.”
The Cubs made four errors last night. One from each infield position. It’s only the second time in major league history that a team had an error from each infield position in a postseason game. The other time? Game One of the 1934 World Series. The Tigers had errors from Hank Greenberg (1B), Charlie Gehringer (2B), Billy Rogell (SS) and two from Marv Owen (3B). Detroit lost the game, 8-3, to the Cardinals. I ain’t surprised. How could I be?
The Cubs have a 7-20 postseason record at Wrigley Field. Storied old Weeghman Park is the only venue in major-league history in which the home team has a record more than five games under .500 in the postseason. Egads man! You can’t win a pennant like that. You just can’t. Mr. Cub may call Wrigley the Friendly Confines. I cannot.
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six Two and Even!
