CUBS COME BACK IN STYLE at Cubsquest.com

3 October:

The final game is a Cubs come back win. Very nice, indeed.

It may not have been the way it was scripted, but it was the type of win they needed. Like Saturday"s game, the narrative demanded a certain outcome. That was a dominant Jon Lester victory for his 20th win.
