One hundred and eight years of love, support, and faith in their ball club came down to a fundamental, opposite field single by Ben Zobrist in game seven last night at Progressive Field. The Curse of the Billy Goat has been erased from the history books, and much of the credit must go to the Cub’s President of Baseball Operations, Theo Epstein. Epstein was the President of the Red Sox over a decade ago, helping shape the team that broke the Curse of the Bambino. In 2011 he signed with the Cubs, again aiding his new team to break what seemed to be a hopeless World Series drought. Thrifty Indian’s Ace Corey Kluber took the mound for the home team while the 26-year-old Kyle Hendricks was on the hill for the Cubs. Kluber experienced a pitcher’s
“3 Nights in August Strategy”, by Buzz Bissinger is a story of strategy, heartbreak, and joy inside the mind of a manager. Baseball does not seem as complex as it really is, at first glance it just seems like people hitting a ball and then throwing the ball to any base. Bissinger though, describes the baseball as “complex and layered”. Every inning, score, number of outs, and base runners will determine what play you should make. Many people are unaware of the intensity of strategy used in baseball, so much that Bissinger says that he is still learning despite how long he has been in the scene coaching. The book is split into three sections each describing a game of the Cubs versus Cardinals series.

For the past week or two, we’ve been hearing about this debate about the All-Time Lakers against the All-Time Bulls. Every basketball fan on social media has shared their thoughts on this matchup of All-Time teams. It’s even gotten to the point where Scottie Pippen and Shaquille O’Neal went at it with each other via Instagram. All-Time Bulls Team that’ll consist of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen taking on a Lakers team that’s stacked with nothing but Hall of Famers, is an intriguing discussion but is it really a huge debate? If the two teams were to meet in let’s say a seven game series, would it even be close? Some think Chicago would win while others believe that the Lakers would dominate and that I wouldn’t be close. I’m on the half

The common woodland bobcat has many fascinating, overlooked features. Many of these features are exclusive to the bobcats strictly, like their small tail that appears "bobbed".

In 1978, the Red Sox held a 14-game lead in the American League East over the Yankees on July 18. However, the Yankees subsequently caught fire, eventually winning the division by three games. In the 1986 World Series, Boston took a 5–3 lead in the top of the 10th inning. Red Sox reliever Calvin Schiraldi retired the first two batters, putting the team within one out of winning the World Series. However, the New York Mets scored three runs and winning it when Boston first baseman Bill Buckner allowed a ground ball to roll through his legs. In 2003, the Red Sox were playing the Yankees in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Boston held a 5–2 lead in the eighth inning, and Boston opted to stay with starting pitcher Pedro Martínez rather than go to the bullpen. New York rallied against the tired Martínez, scoring three runs on a single and three doubles to tie the game. Then in bottom of the 11th inning, Aaron Boone launched a solo home run to win the game and the pennant for the Yankees. Similar to Boston, Chicago had The Curse of the Billy Goat. The curse was supposedly placed on the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball franchise in 1945 by Billy Goat Tavern owner William Sianis that lasted from 1945-2016. Between that 1908 triumph, which was the Cubs ' second world championship (they 'd also won the Series in 1907) Before the “curse” Chicago had won national League Pennants in 1910,
Anyone who knows anything about baseball knows that quite a few moving pieces go into winning a game, importantly a series, more importantly, a championship. Fundamentals, timely hitting, pitching and old fashioned luck. However, Theo Epstein needs to be awarded the credit due his way. Epstein traded for Rizzo, pulled off a one-sided deal for Arrieta and drafted Kris Bryant. Add on the signings of Jon Lester, Jon Lackey, Ben Zobrist and Jason Heyward and you have the 2016 World Series Champions. No, seriously, you do. He did
