Last night's game was another well-played gem and a fitting close to the season. Lester was in complete control until two outs into the 7th when things got almost too cute for comfort.
The weekend series became kind of a tribute to David Ross. Ross has become more or less an unofficial mascot for the fans and the younger players. He was greeted with standing ovations all night and rewarded the faithful with a home run that put the Cubs in the lead and brought the house down.
Lester seemed to lose a bit of focus after Ross came out, but Edwards came in to get out of the inning. After an adventurous 8th with Grimm on the hill, Chapman came on to nail it down.
All in all a good game and a fitting end to the season. As I have said before, I do not like the idea of playing the Cards in the NLDS and I hope they get eliminated.
