I felt like I was standing on the parking lot of my local newspaper office, watching a sportswriter relay wire-service bulletins and update a chalk scoreboard. <br /><br />I am for Cleveland and Chicago (but also a little for Los Angeles, because you used to be a Dodgers fan).Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-79781357310702850042016-10-16T22:57:31.627-04:002016-10-16T22:57:31.627-04:00On the first pitch, Rizzo lines out to Utley and t...On the first pitch, Rizzo lines out to Utley and the GAME IS OVER. Kershaw and Jansen give the Cubs only two hits and no runs, and the Dodgers beat the Cubs 1-0. That was a quality win, and we are all tied going to L.A.

Joc Pederson walks -- and steals second, only his seventh steal of the year. He's bunted to third, and now it's up to Kike Hernandez to get the run home with one out. The Cubs have Chapman in the game.<br /><br />Chapman v. Hernandez:<br /><br />Pitch 1: Ball (1-0)<br />Pitch 2: Swinging Strike (1-1)<br />Pitch 3: Ball (2-1)<br />Pitch 4: Hernandez flies out softly to center, and Pederson has no chance to run. He would have been out by a mile.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-19008178059226730692016-10-16T22:37:08.572-04:002016-10-16T22:37:08.572-04:00The Dodgers are going for it now -- they send out ...The Dodgers are going for it now -- they send out closer Kenley Jansen to pitch the 8th, and he retires the Cubs on only 10 pitches.<br /><br />With one inning left, the Dodgers lead 1-0.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-84565752925611424522016-10-16T22:20:16.002-04:002016-10-16T22:20:16.002-04:00OK, it's getting real now.

The Dodgers have runners on first and second with one out, and Joc Pederson hits a soft liner toward Baez. Baez wisely lets the ball drop in front of him, which allows the Cubs to turn a run and get out of the inning.<br /><br />The Cubs are regarded as one of the greatest defensive squads in history, and they have lived up to that reputation so far.<br /><br />Still 1-0 after 5 1/2.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-9120669162517802562016-10-16T21:33:33.548-04:002016-10-16T21:33:33.548-04:00In the bottom of the 5th, the Cubs get a pair of t...In the bottom of the 5th, the Cubs get a pair of two-out singles, but Kershaw slams the door.
