Look, I’m going to be honest and upfront with you. Like most of you, I was watching the World Baseball Classic final Tuesday night, the tensely-played 3-2 win by Japan over the USA, the culmination of a fantastic tournament.
So I didn’t watch most of the Cubs/Royals game. I finally turned it on after most of the festivities were done in Miami, and then it started raining hard in Surprise, Arizona, so the game was stopped with two out in the top of the seventh. That gave the Cubs a rain-shortened 6-2 victory over the Royals.
