In the year 12 AB (After Bartman), the Cubs finally won their first playoff series game since the “unfortunate event.” Their fans captured it accordingly, like an eclipse: cellphones looking out upon the celebrating Cubs of 2015 AD.
But were they capturing a moment? Or just the first of many moments?
And will we even be back here at Busch Stadium in 2015?
With a chance to control the NLDS, the Cardinals couldn’t control their focus. It was disappointing and disheartening, and now we all head to Chicago for Games 3 and 4, with the series tied at one.
