On to the National League Championship Series. Somehow, the Cubs did it. The Cubs went into the District and beat the Nationals 9-8 in one of the wildest games in a long time. With the win, the Cubs win the National League Division Series, 3 games to 2.
I’m supposed to recap this game, but I’m not sure I can do it justice. This game had more twists and turns than a John le Carré novel. Was that Joe Maddon or George Smiley managing the Cubs? But in the end, the good guys won an ambiguous victory by the skin of their teeth, just like in a le Carré novel.
