Imagine if Lester wasn't really good.Only because he struck out Kipnis. Imagine if Kipnis went deep there
Oh, don't get me wrong, giving him 7/$217M for his 30s was not particularly smart. But you asked if anyone could imagine him pulling off what Lester did tonight.It's a lot of money for a guy with a long track record of suck in the playoffs.
Too soon.Five outs to go, 3 run lead, bases empty, what could go wrong?
That's the way I felt after 2003. Happily, just one more year.If the Cubs don't win this World Series I think they never will win one ever.
If they had just lost routinely last night or tonight, they maybe carry it over to a great 2017. But they are too close now. They win it and erase a century of frustration or they simply will never ever be champions.
