Friday night’s game is just about as perfect an example of that old baseball phrase that momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher. In a storybook or movie, the Cubs’ epic Thursday come-from-behind and walk-off win followed by trading for a former World Series MVP would spur the team to a long winning streak. Then depending on what kind of books and movies you read, the team would either steamroll their way to a World Series win or come up just a bit short.
This isn’t a storybook and I don’t want to be hard on Mike Montgomery who has been as good as probably could realistically been hoped for since taking over for an injured Yu Darvish.
