Cubs Send World Series to the Coveted Game 7

By Djack

2,466 games have been played in the 2016 MLB season, and it all comes down to the 2,467th game of the season to decide who the 2016 World Series champion will be. Game 7, there's nothing better in all of sports, one game to decide it all, anything can happen, Anthony Rizzo summed it up best last night after the game saying "if you lose, you go home, if you win, you're a hero." That's probably the best way to sum it up for these teams, the loser heads home with nothing to show for a hard fought season, and the winner will be forever idolized in their city, that's just the beauty of sports. The two longest World Series droughts in their respective leagues, one team's misfortune will finally have to change, and it will all be decided on a November night in Cleveland. As for last night, the Cubs weren't going home without putting up their best fight, and what they threw at the Indians last night was way too much for them to handle. The Cubs bats have finally come alive in these last two games, Kris Bryant,who has been the teams sparkplug all season, hit another home run in this game, his second in this World Series. As Bryant and Rizzo go, the Cubs go, so they needed Bryant to finally start coming around in this series, since Rizzo has been pretty hot since his bat change. The biggest hit of the game came in the 3rd inning from probably the smallest guy on the team, Addison Russell, not only was the biggest hit distance wise estimated at 435ft, it was a Grand Slam that would put the Cubs ahead 7-0, basically assuring all baseball fans of a game 7. Addison Russell, who has struggled mightily for the Cubs this whole postseason has stepped up in big spots, along with the Grand Slam he also had a RBI double earlier in the game, making his RBI total 6 for the game, tying the record for most RBI's in a world series game.  Rizzo put an exclamation point on this game late with a deep blast to rightfield that drove in 2 making the score 9-3. Jason Kipnis was the only Indians player that really showed up for game 6, he had a homerun, a double, and scored 2 of the Indians 3 runs. Other than that, this game was all Cubs despite some moments when bases were loaded for the Indians and the Cubs were fortunate enough to get out of the jams unharmed. At the end of the day all baseball fans got what they wanted, one last game to decide the World Series champion. Will this be the year of Cleveland returning to the Mount Rushmore of great sports cities, or will it be the year that a curse is broken, that a 108 year drought is quenched, the year that Cubs finally return to baseball immortality, find out tonight when the Cubs and Indians face off in the 2,467th baseball game of the year.(No one fact check that math)
