Chicago 365 Playoff Central: The Bill Murray Game

     After a 71 year absence, the World Series returned to Wrigley Field tonight for Game 3 between the Cubs and the Indians. Josh Tomlin faced off against Kyle Hendricks. Both of them turned in functional (if not lights-out) performances. Eventually, the starters yielded to their bullpens, and the game went from there. Carl Edwards Jr. ultimately allowed the go-ahead run for the other team. The Cubs tried by sending a few hitters to the plate, but ultimately all efforts were in vain as the Cubs succumbed to the Tribe 1-0. What this means: It means that the Cubs are now down 2-1 in the Series. This also means they can't win the Series at Wrigley. But what this means too is that the Cubs are down, but not out. We were down 2-1 to the Dodgers, but came back to win the Pennant. So keep the faith, Cubs fans. And now on to the other big story of the night. Bill Murray. He was around yet again, this time to lead the 7th Inning Stretch. And what a rendition it was:

     I'm just gonna come out and say it. This was the best version of the Stretch I've ever heard in my life. And it comes to us from Bill Murray of all people. So rest up Cubs fans, and get ready for tomorrow. Time to even this series again.
