If the Cubs felt a little delirious, well, this imperfect 13-inning game lasted four hours and 22 minutes and marked their 10th come-from-behind victory already this season. "I was looking to do something different," Baez said. "I had it ready since the ninth inning. It took a little bit, but I finally got to use it." Baez brought a Party Room tradition out from the underground clubhouse and into the open, targeting Almora as a player of the game for his hustle double leading off the 13th and scoring when Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis threw away a potential inning-ending double-play ball. Ping-pong-style games and water guns are part of The Cubs Way. "We got like four of 'em and we got some buckets to celebrate when we win," Baez said. "Sometimes we get the staff, so they know they're doing a great job." This can’t be easy for the defending World Series champs, giving up 35 runs in the first inning so far this season, playing from behind so often and navigating 11 one-run games already. The Cubs are still a first-place team with a 16-12 record and all that muscle memory built up from six playoff rounds across the last two seasons. "Maybe the baseball gods are on our side," Kris Bryant said. "We would prefer not to have to come back. But if we're going to be put in that situation, we have a good group of players that work counts when the game is on the line. "Last year, we just went out and we hit it seemed like the whole year. We scored a ton of runs. Our pitchers shut everybody down, so the games weren't as stressful. But it's not going to be like that. That's kind of fairytale land." The Cubs are going to have to tighten up their game on Friday against a New York Yankees lineup where Starlin Castro is hitting like a batting champion and Aaron Judge is looking like a home run king. That late-inning drama will be harder to manufacture against a deep, dynamic bullpen headlined by Aroldis Chapman and Dellin Betances. Almora set the stage for another weekend on national TV after John Lackey had a five-inning start where his ERA crept up to 5.14. And Ben Zobrist got picked off second base in the ninth inning (Bryant lined a harmless single into left field moments later). And Willson Contreras grounded into a 6-9-3 double play against Philadelphia’s five-man infield to waste a bases-loaded opportunity, ending the 12th inning. Even if the Cubs aren't clicking on all cylinders, backup catcher Miguel Montero lifted Joaquin Benoit's 96-mph fastball into the center-field basket for a game-tying homer in the eighth inning. The Cubs stayed in the picture with lefty Mike Montgomery working the 10th, 11th and 12th innings. The contributions are still coming from all over the roster. Almora – who showed so much poise as a rookie last season – said he didn’t even notice that left fielder Ty Kelly was slow to grab the ball and gather himself because his instincts screamed double in the 13th inning. "We never quit," Almora said. "It's on the World Series ring." -- CSNChicago.com Cubs Will Welcome Aroldis Chapman Back To Wrigley Field With World Series Ring By Patrick Mooney The Cubs had a great team, a championship drought that lasted more than a century, a robust farm system and a delirious fan base. President of baseball operations Theo Epstein framed the question like this: If not now, when? The Cubs had World Series rings in mind when they made the blockbuster Aroldis Chapman trade last summer, and the superstar closer for the New York Yankees will get his during Friday’s pregame ceremony at Wrigley Field. “I’m looking forward to it,” said manager Joe Maddon, who will be part of the presentation. The Cubs always viewed Chapman as a rental player and never had any interest in the kind of five-year, $86 million megadeal the Yankees put together. During the December conference call to formally announce that record- setting contract for a closer, Chapman said through a translator that Maddon misused him during the World Series, when he threw 97 pitches in Games 5, 6 and 7 combined. Maddon and Chapman did reconnect during the team’s January visit to the White House, and the manager has taken the high road whenever asked about those comments. Hearing Rage Against the Machine’s “Wake Up” and looking up at the video board for the triple-digit velocity readings became part of the Wrigleyville experience during that playoff push.

  • Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test
    The “Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test One of the many beauties of baseball, affectionately known as “America’s pastime,” is the ability for people to come to the stadium and become ingrained in the action and get the chance to interact with their heroes. Going to a baseball game, as opposed to going to most other sporting events, truly gives a fan the opportunity to take part in the action. However, this can come at a steep price as foul balls enter the stands at alarming speeds and occasionally strike spectators.

  • New York Yankees Shortstop Gleyber Torres Wins AFL MVP
    New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres wins AFL MVP Author : Robert D. Cobb New York Yankees' top prospect, shortstop Gleyber Torres, has won the Arizona Fall League MVP award. Torres, who was the headliner in the package from the Cubs that sent Aroldis Chapman to Chicago, is just 19-years-old. He is the youngest player to win the Joe Black MVP Award, in fact, no one under the age of 21 has ever put together a better season in the 32 game league. [embedit snippet="ryne-ads"] The Arizona Fall League is an off-season, 32 game league that plays from mid-October to mid-November. It was founded in 1992 and has attracted many of the top prospects in minor league systems all around the league. Torres, along with fellow Yankee prospects Greg Bird, Miguel Andujar, Dillon Tate, J.P. Feyereisen, Tyler Wade, Brody Koerner and James Kaprielian, played for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Torres led the AFL in average at .403, OBP at .513, and OPS at 1.158. He also earned the batting title, by an astounding 50 points over the next closest player. He added 25 hits, three homers, four doubles, 14 walks, and four stolen bases in 18 games, putting all of his tools on display. His performance earned him two AFL Player of the Week awards en route to being named MVP. He wasn't only the league's best hitter, but he also provided a flair for the dramatic. On October 15th he delivered a walk-off hit with the bases loaded for the Scorpions, joining teammate Tim Tebow with the only walk-off hits of the year.
