Hold the champagne...
The Cubs battered Dave Rose and the Rays to force a Game 7 as the Rays' coronation has been delayed, if not denied. The four runs in the first didn't faze anybody, especially after Yuji Morioka hit his 7th homer of the postseason to cut the Cub lead to 4-2, but the six runs in the third certainly did and although late efforts were made to come back (4 runs in the 8th and loading the bases in the 9th) it was too little, too late. So Bob Riley gets the ball in the biggest game of his life and the championship will be decided in one evening tomorrow.
