You didn’t really think that the fine performance the Cubs put on the field in beating the White Sox Saturday could be repeated, did you?
All right, I admit it. With Kyle Hendricks on the mound I thought there was at least a chance. But Kyle and four Cubs relievers got pounded for five homers and 13 runs and so the Cubs lost the rubber game of the series 13-1.
Look at it this way: The White Sox scored 30 runs in the three games and only won two of three.
