| + | There’s no other way to put it. He’s going nuts in the World Series. He has taken over baseball’s biggest stage after taking nothing more than a bit role in a touring company, and he owns all the spotlights. | ||
| + | It’s lunacy. Pure lunacy the show Schwarber is putting on. He’s confounding teammates, opponents and everyone with a long baseball history,? | ||
| + | not to mention idiots like me. Sorry. | ||
| + | I apologize. Forgive me. I admit I was crazy for doubting the legend. | ||
| + | The day the Series started, I mounted the argument against putting him on the roster after such a long layoff because of knee surgery seven months ago and a small sample size of at-bats. | ||
| + | If Schwarber can do what he’s done in the World Series despite missing all but two games in the season,cheap jordans for sale, is there really any reason for spring training in the first place? | ||

| + | Remember, every story,cheap real jordans, every official statement, every indication was forget Schwarber this year and see ya in | ||
| + | spring training | ||
| + | . | ||
| + | But suddenly, he could swing a bat,cheap jordans online, and the | ||
| + | Cubs | ||
| + | were giddy and concerned, and I fell in with the concerned crowd. | ||
| + | Schwarber couldn’t play in the field, which meant he could only serve as a designated hitter or pinch-hitter, perhaps hurting manager Joe Maddon’s love of playing toy soldiers with his roster because Schwarber was one-dimensional. | ||
| + | OMG, what a dimension. | ||
| + | In Game 1, Schwarber doubled off the wall against the dazzling | ||
| + | Corey Kluber | ||
| + | and walked against the near-untouchable reliever | ||
| + | Andrew Miller | ||
| + | . The Cubs lost the opener, but won the decision to activate a scary bat in the five-hole. | ||
| + | In Game 2 on Wednesday, Schwarber singled in a run to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead in a series in which every early run is so valuable if it keeps Miller seated. | ||
| + | That’s a two-game World Series hitting streak for a guy who didn’t have a hit in the regular season. | ||
| + | That’s a two-game World Series hitting streak for a guy who barely had a chance to face live pitching in Arizona as late as Monday. | ||
| + | That’s a two-game World Series hitting streak in October for a guy who had two knee ligaments surgically repaired in April. | ||
| + | That’s just insane. | ||
| + | This story has become so extraordinarily sweet that we all should get checked for diabetes. | ||
| + | But wait. There’s more. In his next at-bat, Schwarber slammed another single up the middle to drive in another run. | ||
| + | At that point in the World Series, Schwarber added to the legend by going 3-for-6 with two RBIs just days removed from the Arizona Fall League. | ||
| + | On his off-day Thursday, I’m guessing, he’s scheduled to defeat ISIS. | ||
| + | In a Cubs season that is ending where many people expected, this part of the story is unbelievable. | ||
| + | Schwarber is making a fool out of skeptics,cheap jordans, not to mention major-league pitching. He’s a great argument for limiting spring training to three days. | ||
| + | I’ll never doubt the legend again. Not after this kind of return from an injury so gruesome that many people wondered whether he’d have any kind of future in the game. So, all things are possible, right? | ||
| + | I mean, we’re looking at a Cubs team that is three wins from the franchise’s first championship in a ridiculous 108 years,cheap retro jordans, and whoever thought the Cubs’ winning the World Series wouldn’t be the most ridiculous part of October?<ul> | ||
