Cubs' Anthony Rizzo to David Ross during Game 7: 'I'm in a glass case of emotion'
The Cubs are trying to win their first World Series in 108 years. The fans are nervous, everyone watching is nervous, and it turns out that, yes, the players feel the nerves too.
In a fantastic wired-up exchange between Anthony Rizzo and David Ross, Rizzo spoke for us all as he told his veteran teammate just how nervous he was.
The entire exchange was simply amazing. Ross, a 2013 World Series champion, didn't exactly tell Rizzo his nerves would go away.
Rizzo: I can't control myself right now. I'm trying my best.
Ross: It's understandably so, buddy.
Rizzo: I'm emotional.
Ross: I hear ya.
Rizzo: I'm an emotional wreck.
Ross: Well, it's only going to get worse. Just continue to breathe. That's all you can do, buddy. It's only gonna get worse.
Rizzo: I'm in a glass case of emotion right now.
Ross: Wait until the 9th with this three-run lead.
Well, it must have helped as Rizzo hit an RBI single in the fifth inning to drive in the game's fifth run.
