What a game, what a series and I’m sorry but the blown save couldn’t have happened to a better player. With two out and two on in the bottom of the ninth with the Cubs down by three, Torres serves up a pitch to Soto that was in his wheel house and he unloaded on it.
Why am I glad it was Torres that blew the game? Because back on September 10th I wrote about Torres talking smack about catching the Cubs, and with his team one out away from taking two out of three from the Cubs in Wrigley Field he BLOWS IT!
But I digress, the more important part of this game is the character the Cubs showed coming from four runs behind to win. The truth be told, this game did not mean much to the Cubs. They were eight behind in the loss column with eleven games to play. Even if the Brewers run the board the Cubs would have to go 3-8 to lose the division.
But in the top of the 12th with Brewers on second and third, the Cub’s pitching and defense, highlighted by the run down at third, gets out of the half inning without any damage. Then in the bottom of the 12th, with two outs and a two and two count on the man everybody is screaming is not a clutch player, Derrek Lee, gets a walk of single scoring Marquis.
And the crowd goes wild…Cubelievable…Cubs Century Is Here!
