Cubs fans looking another fix of playoff fever can get it via 120 Sports this week.
For five straight days starting Monday, the network will show a Cubs playoff game. Each game will start at 10 a.m. You can view them via the network’s app or at 120sports.com.
Here’s the schedule:
Monday: NLDS Game 4 vs. San Francisco
Aka the one where the Cubs mounted the biggest comeback in the history of postseason clinchers. They scored four runs in the ninth inning to topple the Giants 6-5.
Tuesday: NLCS Game 1 vs. Los Angeles
Aka the one with Miguel Montero’s monster eighth-inning grand slam off the Dodgers’ Joe Blanton (followed by a Dexter Fowler homer). Cubs win 8-4.
Wednesday: NLCS Game 6 vs. Los Angeles
Aka the one where the Cubs solved Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw and Kyle Hendricks gave up only two measly hits in reaching their first World Series since 1945 with a 5-0 win.
Thursday: World Series Game 5 vs. Cleveland
Aka the one where the Cubs rode a three-run fourth inning and a solid outing from Jon Lester to win 3-2. Of course, it’s also the game where they received 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief from Aroldis Chapman. We know, your nerves still haven’t recovered from that eighth inning.
Friday: World Series Game 7 vs. Cleveland
Aka the grand finale. A 5-1 lead. Then a 6-3 lead. Then disaster in the eighth. Then a freaking rain delay in the 10th inning. Then Jason Heyward’s stirring speech. Then clutch hits from Ben Zobrist and Miguel Montero. Then an 8-7 win that was 108 years in the making, and a celebration to last a lifetime.
