In the big picture I didn't care which team won. My preference was for the Indians. I believe Francona got screwed in Boston with how things ended. I figure one more World Series win and he's a Hall of Famer.
in my perverted little world I ended up rooting for the Cubs to blow the lead twice and lose. I figured it would add to the legacy. If the Cubs hadn't won this year they're built to win. It's about being well built from the top down. The owner has money and stays out of the way. He hired the right baseball person and let him do his thing. Then he hired the right manager.
I figure the rain delay helped the Cubs immensely. They were emotionally on their heels. The delay allowed them time to relax, then come charging out of the clubhouse with a changed attitude.
