"Theriot got the start. Nuphy was pissed the Cubs let him go"
My younger brother was remarking just the same this evening. How the Cubs have this habit of letting players go who go on to earn rings and division titles for other teams.
Its funny, for someone who hasn't watched a game from end to end in years, and certainly defaults to Chicago teams, I was on edge from the first minutes. The comedy was, out here, none of us were willing to call the game - the siblings affirmed that if any team could stage a comeback, it was certainly the Rangers. I was relieved with every run that padded their margin, not until Allen Craig had it in his glove did I think it was over. It was so funny, watching Motte's face move from a dejected, "oh God this is the start of their rally," to 'he has it?!" "Its done!" and about 1-2 seconds later, he was catching, his catcher....the pile of Cardinals - the visuals were pretty funny.
