On Wednesday evening, the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers met at Comerica Park for a winner takes all game in the last matchup of the season for the two teams. When I first saw that Francisco Liriano was pitching for the Tigers, I thought to myself “Mamma Mia! Here we go again!” I asked why did it have to be me who was recapping this game. For pitchers, the name of the game is throwing strikes, and Liriano is not particularly good at that. For the first few innings it was going well, but per usual Liriano imploded and the Cubs proved victorious 8-2.
Cubs 8, Tigers 2: Mamma Mia! That was tough to watch...
