I really thought making him a closer would have bolstered his career. Oh well. Prior just fell apart. But let us cheer our victory over the Pirates! Celebrate wins now because they may be few and far between later!

No way. These guys can play. I'm not saying this is THE year, but they are well on their way to getting there. If the Cubs are still in contention in July, look for them to unload some of the young infield talent in the minors for starting pitching. I get the feeling Theo really wants to make the whole Back to the Future thing happen.

Bump for clinch weekend.

It was kind of fun watching Harper and Pap try to kill each other today. What a disappointing season for the Gnats.

What stinks is that three of the best teams in baseball are in the NL Central and one of them is going to be one and done next week. With Arrieta going for the cubs, I think my Bucs may come out on the short end of it after an absolutely terrific season. I am hoping they can pass the Cards this week and let them deal with him.

The Cubs are a good team, but some of their fans are terrible. remember last time they were in playoffs. The fans started celebrating before final out and TV folks were also. game isn't over until final out .

If my memory is correct, a fan interfered with a foul ball, and it ended up costing them.

Go Cardinals !

Jinxes don't exist in Maddon's world. As he says, "I don't operate on that frequency."

This isn't your dad's, grandfather's, great-grandfather's or great-great grandfather's Cubs!

Just because he says it doesn't mean it isn't true! Why are you tempting fate? The Cubs will now probably get swept. I hope you are happy with yourself! You probably are one of those fans on the South Side just trying to stir up trouble!

Since the Rays suck and Maddon is my hero I am all in with the Cubs

So with that you have the biggest curse there is on any sports team.

You're welcome.

Woah. There was no need for the low blow there. :D
I'm a 4th generation Cubs fan. Some of my earliest memories are of my grandpa taking me to Wrigley for games after church on Sundays. He's 86 now. I NEED this to happen so I can share that moment with him.

Im not a fan of the single game format either flamehunter...personally I think it should be best of 3 at the team with the higher record. American League Thursday-Saturday, National League Friday-Sunday then start the Divisional Round on that following Wednesday
