Chicago Cubs: Nine-run eighth inning; fans not sold on Yu Darvish

With weather conditions mirroring football season more than baseball, some of the most loyal fans in sports stuck it out. For hours, they sat in temperatures with a win chill in the 20s, mixed with wind and rain, as the Chicago Cubs appeared to be headed for another loss.

Instead, in the bottom of the eighth, Chicago hung a nine-spot on Atlanta, capped with a game-tying, bases-loaded double from Javier Baez. Looking back, no one will look back and remember Jose Quintana‘s struggles or the early hole the Cubs dug themselves. They’ll remember a team that willed its way to a much-needed win at home.
