Wow, the Cubs really know how to put together a great celebration. In their return to Wrigley after a World Series win and a long winter, they raised championship flags and the Commissioner’s Trophy as they walked from center field to home plate. I had goosebumps the entire time and was overwhelmed by emotion. Now, to discuss the game.
Jon Lester started off pretty well in the 1st inning, and it appeared it would be a different story in this start compared to his previous outing. This was not the case, as Lester had difficulty finding the tight zone of home plate umpire Sam Holbrook.
