What a great game from both sides. Both Job Lester and Johnny Cueto pitched great. The cubs were lucky enough to get a solo homer in the 8th. Both pitchers were in control all game. I had pitched was the difference. This is a big swing game in the short series. The Cubs need 2 more wins in this series to move on.
I have dropped all curses this season. You can always find a person that does something that works for a predetermined belief. Stays will show that winning a World Series is hard. All teams that make the playoffs are good and have shown they can win. The ratio of contending Cubs teams to World Series wins is not that bad. The have it been to consecutive playoffs 3 times. EVER. This may be the first competitive team over a long period of time EVER in the 100+ years. I don't believe in the curses, that have just been bad. To win in baseball, you get hot at the right time or sustain greatness over a period of time. I grew up with a dominating Braves team in the 90's. They won once. They Yankees couldn't lose when I was a kid, however, they didn't win every year. The Cubs have the talent, but they must execute when in counts. Remember, the other team is also tryongbto execute. Is it a curse for is it that other team is also good.
Regardless, the Cubs won tonight. The have a good team. It is hard not to be excited about what they can do. Are they the best team in baseball: PROBABLY. Will they win the World Series: WHO KNOWS!!!
