The only thing I’m rooting for this World Series is a seventh game.
Lots of baseball left to play, but if the plan continues to succeed, the Cubs can point to Game 3 as their lost opportunity.
The key to victory in the World Series lies in the pitcher’s beard thickness.
T aren’t any New Haven connections to the last Chicago Cub teams to play in a World Series and win a world championship, but a couple of local guys were quite familiar with those Cubbie teams.
Johnny Moore, a Waterbury native who played minor league ball in New Haven, was signed by the Cubs in September 1945, at age 43, but missed being eligible to play in the World Series by one day.
“Wild” Bill Donovan won 18 games to lead the Tigers to the AL pennant in 1908, but he lost twice to the Cubs in the World Series that fall.
As penance for screwing up Ryan Fitzpatrick’s name last week, I’ve vowed to watch every second of today’s Jets-Browns game.
