The Marlins punched their World Series ticket Wednesday, defeating the hard-luck Cubs 9-6 before 39,574 shell-shocked fans at Wrigley Field. The Cubs, who haven't won the Series since 1908 and haven't reached the Series in 58 years, were defeated by an 11-year-old franchise that will be chasing its second title in six years.
Let see...
The Cubs were ahead in the series 3 games to 1.
The Marlins came back from serious deficits in three of their four wins.
The Marlins are only one of 5 teams to ever win a series after being down 3 games to 1.
The Marlins have done this with an old, cast aside coach, a combination of inexperienced and past-their-prime players, no BIG pitching stars, no BIG hitting stars.
Ya' gotta love the fish...
