“Holy cow! The Phillies knock off the Cubbies, 5 to 1, right here at Wrigley Field! And just like that, Philadelphia moves on to the Division Series. Ohhh doctor, what a tough one for the North Siders.
The Cubs, they just couldn’t get the big hit. Six hits all day, just one run, and the Phillies pitching—Paul Campbell—seven strong innings! That guy was terrific! And then Moran comes in and just slams the door.
How about that Dan Fisher, huh? The fella hit over .500 for the series—.538! Two homers, drove in four, scored three runs! He’s the MVP, no doubt about it. Every time he came to the plate, you thought something bad was gonna happen if you’re a Cubs fan. And sure enough—it did!
Vince Brown got things going early with a homer in the first—Phillies up 2-nothing before fans were even settled into their seats. From there, the Cubbies were chasing all afternoon.
Now the Phillies, they move on to play the Mets in the Division Series… and the Cubs? Well, they go home again. Oh, the heartbreak of October baseball at Wrigley Field.
But folks, that’s baseball! One day you’re the toast of the town, the next you’re packing up the bats. Holy cow!”
