When the Chicago Cubs reached the National League Championship Series, a handful of people figured it would be the North Siders taking on the Kansas City Royals in the World Series. As we all know, the New York Mets put that idea to an end by sweeping Jake Arrieta and company.
Both teams met up at the end of the regular season and former outfielder Chris Denorfia sent the soon-to-be World Series champs home thanks to a walk-off homer to left field. These two powerhouses met up yesterday but it didn’t quite go as well as Joe Maddon had hoped.
