I’d be lying if I said I was confident right now, but then again I don’t have a choice. The Cubs have nothing more to lose as every game from this point on has literally taken “MUST WIN” importance. It doesn’t hurt us (any more than three straight disheartening losses) to have a bit of faith that this might happen:
Elias: Up 3-0 in best-of-7, teams are 33-1 (.971) in winning series. Of course, Theo Epstein knows that.

Obviously it will be a super-tall task to make that 33-2, but naturally Theo Epstein and company showed that it was at least possible a decade ago.
