Cubs wake up the dead in D.C. and now it's a series
WASHINGTON — Get me rewrite on the obit desk. There’s been a premature report of death.
The Washington Nationals, toe-tagged and given their last rites, sat up, fist-pumped and party-rocked their long hair Saturday night.
Or to put it a different way…
“I mean, I think the train is coming,” Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper said, and he’s not talking about the Metro, the Metra, the Skokie Swift or the band.
You probably thought the Nats’ train was an express straight to the offseason, didn’t you? I sure did. Until the eighth inning, that is.
I should've known. Nothing comes easy for the Cubs. Or too easy anyway.
