With the Brewers being 5.5 back I don't see them catching us, Cards are 5 back and we do play them 4 times but they would pretty much have to sweep us and need help from other teams to catch us. It's pretty much over. Cards could very well grab that final WildCard spot though. Cubs are showing why they are the Champs, Champs win these type of ball games by sweeping the Cards then going on the road and winning 2 extra Inning games against a gritty Brewers team.

[King Colt]

Cubs just took two of four from the Brewers with two more then I think four with the Cards and finishing against the Reds while the Brewers play three or four with the Cardinals.  Down to the wire.

Yeah we pretty much got this now. The PostSeason is going to be real interesting. I want to see how we do against teams like Washington and LA if we do make the NLCS.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Here's a fun fact, I have been a Cubs fan since 1984 and during my fandom they have never won backtoback Division Championships! If the Cubs go ahead and close this out, I would be witnessing Cubs history again. It's really been a fun 3 year run. 2015 = win 97 games and make NLCS, 2016 = win 103 games (Division Champs) and win the World Series, 2017 = looking like Division Champs again then who knows?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Got us a sweet day game today, game 3 of Cubs/Brewers. Hendricks will take the mound for the Champs today. Pressure is all on the Brewers at this point, we just need to relax and play our game and everything will be fine.

[2006Coltsbestever]

91 degrees in Milwaukee today, WOW.

Awful, too warm. It is about 85° here. How is it in Indy?

 

Looks like the Cubs will be playing the Nats. Anyone know if Harper is expected back for the playoffs?

At work yesterday it was 90, I haven't even been outside today. Been just laying here. The work week wore me out. Neck is better but still bothering me but time off will help. Not sure about Harper, obviously that is huge for Washington.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs just tied it 1-1

In mid September?! Knowing you people I'm sure the beer is still cold.

I actually live in Indy and it is 90 here too but the Cubs playing in Milwaukee where it's 91

[2006Coltsbestever]

Here comes the Clutch Cubs, still 1-1 and now 2 guys on in the 8th.

[2006Coltsbestever]

MVP up now, with guys on 2nd and 3rd

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cant believe they pitched to him, Cubs lead 2-1

[2006Coltsbestever]

Champs lead 2-1, MVP puts us up. BullPen has to hold it.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Going to Top of the 9th, 2-1 Champs. Strop was a monster in the 8th!

[2006Coltsbestever]

To the Bottom of the 9th here comes Wade to Save it. 2-1 Cubs

[2006Coltsbestever]

No way, Arcia homered  2-2 now

[2006Coltsbestever]

That looked Foul

[2006Coltsbestever]

Another 10th Inning game. Arcia homering is just plain funny. Oh well 3 fun games in a row.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I have a bad feeling about this now, that was such a fluke HR I am speechless. I bet Brewers win this now.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs lead 3-2, great team right here.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brewers win 4-3. Oh well cant win them all. After Arcia's HR I had a bad feeling about it. That was so fluky. It is what it is but cute. Up 4.5 now over them. It will be interesting to see if the Cards beat the Pirates tonight, if they do they are 4 back.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brewers have been one big pain in the butt all year! Pretty sick of them actually because when they win they get lucky like today and have overachieved beyond belief. I am still happy no matter the outcome because I expected and said going to into this series I would be ok with 2-2 because I know how lucky they get with Braun or Shaw pulling their shenanigans. Still up 2-1 as of now. Arcia probably wont HR the rest of the year! Hader thinks he's freakin Syndergaard as well, what's up with that hair? Get your own look. Anyway it's all good, Go Cubs!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Trying to defend a Championship is even tiresome as a fan following it and watching every day. I just want the Playoffs to start.

Division Champs 2007-08? Or were you meaning something else

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

With the Cards lost Cubs Magic number is 4, which mean week series in St Louis could be really big and clinching could happen there

Yeah I meant with 90 or more wins winning backtoback Division Championships, sorry I didn't clarify, they didn't win 90 in 2007. I think we win 90 this season.
