Jason Heyward might have earned every penny of his $ 184 million contract with one speech Wednesday night. Rajai Davis’ two-run homer shockingly tied Game 7 of the World Series for the Cleveland Indians in the eighth inning, and Heyward’s Chicago Cubs entered the 17-minute rain delay that preceded extra innings possibly feeling sorry for themselves. That’s when Heyward stepped forward and rallied his teammates. “That was the best thing for us,” Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant told FOX Sports on the field after the game. “I mean, we all got together in the weight room, and, you know, we all supported each other. … Jason Heyward led the...

Kyle Schwarber Records Hit During Return To Cubs In World Series Game 1
Talk about a comeback. Chicago Cubs young slugger Kyle Schwarber tore two ligaments in his knee on April 7, just three games into Chicago’s eventual 103-win season and march to the World Series. But after pushing through his rehab, Schwarber managed to get into some Arizona Fall League games over the weekend and was activated from the disabled list in time for Game 1 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. He made the Cubs looks smart, nearly blasting a home run out of the park with his team trailing 3-0. The ball landed just below the top of the fence, and he legged out a double for his first
Cubs Will Get Free Lap Dances For Life If They Win 2016 World Series
Share this: If the Chicago Cubs are able to climb atop the baseball mountain, there could be plenty of dancing in their future. It might not be the players who do the dancing, though.

Watch Bill Murray Crash The White House … And Plug The Chicago Cubs
Share this: Bill Murray, who really needs no introduction, has never shied away from sharing his feelings about the Chicago Cubs or their opponents. And while reports said Murray visited the White House on Friday so President Barack Obama could congratulate him on winning the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the movie star used it as a platform to reinforce his confidence in the Cubs, who are one win away from advancing to the World Series. The Cubs currently lead the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in the National League Championship Series, but will have to face Clayton Kershaw in Game 6 with a trip to the team’s first World Series since 1945 on the line.

Are Cubs Stealing Dodgers’ Signs In NLCS? Yasmani Grandal Thinks So
The 2016 National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers already was intriguing. And now, it appears there’s some gamesmanship going on.
