Congrats to the Cubs

Down 3 - 1 and they come back to win their first Championship in over 100 years.

Theo Epstein broke another curse. He's a rock star of baseball GM's / President.

As a diehard Red Sox fan. I'm sick that we didn't win it all, but hopefully next year. Happy for ex Red Sox tho:

Theo, Hoyer, Lester, Lackey, Rizzo, Ross, etc.

As A life long Mets fan , I was happy for the Cubs and their long suffering fan base.

Two things about last nights game really pissed me off.

#1. Joe Maddon nearly blew it by removing Hendricks WAY TO EARLY. He was doing great keeping them off balance. To Hell with that "3x thru the order" bullcrap. I don't think he threw 70 pitches. We're talking about  this years Cy Young candidate.

#2. How the Hell can you be a Major League pitcher ( Lester ) and be scared to throw to first ? Pitiful ! It's unfathomable to me that he doesn't have a pick off move to first base......and as a left hander to boot !!!   What a prima donna !!!!!  Get your ass down to spring training next year and work on it.

Re Lester, it is very odd.

But the numbers don't lie. The guy is special. Right up with some of the best in terms of postseason numbers.  2.63 ERA in 22 games (19 of them starts). Now a 3X champion and a huge part in all 3 of those rings. Especially in 2013. Without him dominating, red sox don't win the WS.

Think how much better he could be if he could hold a runner on. It's not that difficult.

Stayed up to watch the entire game!  I need a nap.
