I was lucky enough to be out there last night. One of the most exciting games I have witnessed. The Cubs blew a lot of chances to put it away early and late. But they did come back in the eighth and ninth innings. The atmosphere then was electric.
Actually, the won the game three times in retrospect, with Baez being called out twice at home to make the final out. I thought he was safe the first time and out the second. Actually, the home plate umpire was kind of a joke and both teams were upset with the inconsistency of his strike zone, among other things.
The Cubs almost blew it in the top of the 13th, but Rob Z. did bounce back to limit the damage. The bottom of the inning was illustrative of just how good this team can play when they set their minds to it. It was nice to see Montero come up with the game winner. The only guy who has had a more disappointing season has been Heyward. Montero has handled his demotion to part time duty pretty well given the circumstances.
