The Indians right-hander made it through 87 pitches with his cut little finger in his first World Series outing in Game 2 against the Cubs on Wednesday.
“Not like the modern team that found creative ways to lose”. My Christmas days were usually loaded with baseball cards. And we stayed Cubs fans.
My mom still talks about 1969 with an amount of heartbreak that hurts me, even though I was born more than a decade after that season ended.
Lee was known during high school as a diehard Cubs and Chicago Blackhawks fan, Meza said.

But the Cubs have always been #1.
And this time, I don’t think a championship will be forgotten.
I do a lot of writing now about a lot of different sports.

On Lake Shore Drive, we passed a construction crew erecting a Go Cubs Go sign. Jon Garland joined him in the All-Star Game, and Freddy Garcia and Jose Contreras had good seasons, too. Cam should be here for this. No one gets more excited about the Cubbies than Coach. Afterward, we settled in to watch another Cubs loss.
Babcock isn’t sure if he’ll watch the World Series. And I know I am not alone. I see him in his recliner, with his Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, with his King Edward cigar, at home, watching his Cubs in wonder at the World Series.

Eveline and a couple of her friends camped outside of Wrigley Field to get tickets for the World Series. “And they got there by the second inning”.
