I had no intentions of watching the Cubs game yesterday. In fact, I went to an early dinner, saw Avengers: Endgame, and went to tour the condo I am moving into next month…and still got home in plenty of time to watch the last three innings.
The 6-5 win by Chicago was every bit the thriller that the final movie of this iteration of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was. Spoiler alert: The Cubs scored three times in the top of the 15th inning to take the lead in what seemed like a certain victory, then held on after the Diamondbacks scored twice in the bottom of the inning.
