Yankees 5, Cubs 4: Blown save causes 18-inning marathon that hurt us all

On their final night at Wrigley Field, the Yankees scored early, got a clutch home run, and saw their starter work into the late innings on their way to a sweep of the World Series champions. This weekend series was a strong showing for the surprising Yankees who have just gotten a little bit of everything from all facets of their team so far.

Oh, if it had just been that simple. This paragraph was written several hours ago before more than one entire second game transpired. Everything that came after the eighth inning was the stuff of nightmares.
