They'd only been in Chicago for sixteen hours but they won anyway. It was a good game, a quick game by playoff standards. Good pitching from Byrd and Contreras (who settled down after a rough start to pitch 8 1/3 innings), and little in the way of offense. It's like having two NLCSes with these teams. Game two is tomorrow at 8:whatever, head-to-head with game one of the NLCS, which I just hate right to death, but what can you do, I guess. The games will be broadcast on FOX and FX.
