cocaine and alcohol in pitcher's system cheap mens jerseys
So the World Series came back to Wrigley, the shrine to baseball losing, on Friday for the first time in 71 years. And while Cubs fans feel that they have paid their price and done their time, and that this is their rightful moment, cheap queensland jerseys the Cleveland Indians don’t seem to grasp the meaning of this party. The Indians won Game 3 1-0. They now lead the Cubs two games to one.
“Cleveland against the world,” said Cleveland’s Coco Crisp, who drove in the game’s only run with a single to right field in the seventh inning. “That’s kind of been the motto. Coming here and seeing all the (Cubs) blue in the stands and all the blue in the ballpark. ... The support of the Cubs is worldwide.”
But there also is a cold lesson of reality here that, for some reason, the Indians seem to understand already while the Cubs do not. The World Series is an absolute grind. cheap raiders jerseys Seven games of this series is equal to 162 games of regular season. Every last decision, every last movement, counts.
The Indians played to try to get one run Friday night and then hope that their relief pitchers could win the game. That is a strategy playing with the tiniest margin for error. They bunted a runner over, took a base on a wild pitch, brought in a slap hitter, Crisp, to slap a simple hit.
And the Cubs? They don’t get it yet. They might learn before this series is over. But consider second baseman Javier Baez. He had become a star during the season because he cut down on his ridiculously massive overswing. cheap redskins jerseys It was melodrama. Now, he’s back to the big swing again. He looks like a little kid trying to hit the ball as far as he can.
That is agonizing. And will this game go down in Wrigley Field lore? The only two things that anyone can remember about the World Series in Wrigley Field was Babe Ruth’s legendary called shot, when he pointed to the bleachers before homering. (It never happened, cheap redskins jerseys by the way, but that doesn’t stop the legend.) And the other Wrigley World Series memory is of a Greek guy bringing his goat into the 1945 Series, getting kicked out and putting a curse on the team.
Two loser moments in the house of baseball losing. The Cubs have never won the World Series since moving into Wrigley more than a century ago. The thing is, for anyone who has been watching the Cubs here for years, for decades – and that includes me – there is just this strange sense that the World Series doesn’t happen here. It took a wrong turn somehow and ended up here.
This team is real, and lasting. The Cubs are built right for the first time in 100 years and they brought the Series back to Wrigley Field without a billy goat. cheap royals jerseys They have to deal with reality now, and the reality is this:
“I thought it was great. When you get to that point closer (to Wrigley) and you see lines everywhere, lines to get in and out of establishments, I think it’s great.”
This entire city wants its coronation, but they’re going to have to learn that baseball so often zigs when you expect it to zag. The Indians will throw their best pitcher, Corey Kluber, Saturday night against the Cubs’ No4 guy, John Lackey. The Cubs couldn’t hit Kluber in Game 1, and a defeat would put Chicago on the verge of elimination (or the Indians on brink of winning the Series).
