as you mentioned, the slide by russell, maybe the aggressiveness there by baez, joe maddon would have liked to have taken a more conservative approach. >> joe: goes down as a stolen base for javier baez, his second of the year. montero had one glorious moment last postseason, came in the nlcs against the dodgers when he homered into right. grand slam a kickball, just into the game, two runs score to make it 11-6. >> john: i would have ruled this a hit, but that one catches the grass in the infield. gaps in between there and the ball, just did not play the half as well. >> joe: goes down as a hit, a couple of rbis, the end of the night for layne. left-hander is gone, a pitching change in the eighth for the yankees. the lead is now 5. give life to your idea, when you build a better website in under an hour type in your idea, select from designs tailored just for you, and publish your site with just a few clicks. even from your mobile phone. start for free today at godaddy. >> joe: welcome back to chicago, illinois, home of the world champion cubs, trailing here tonight by 5 as we play i

manager joe maddon had the antidote for pressure. >> maddon: i talked about pressure and expectationsves, and they are. embrace it. embrace the target, embrace the pressure, embrace expectations. because if you do, you could end up winning the first world series in 108 years in chicago.
