10/4 Cubs (Haren) @ Brewers (Lopez), 2:10, WGN TV

Sad trombone: In addition to KB not getting his 100th RBI, Rizzo's OPS also dipped below .900.

Now they are going to magically find 2 ERs not charged to Hendricks bringing his ERA above 4

[UMFan83]

Bryant!!!

 

Last good chance for Reds, 2 on and 2 out for Phillips in 8th

 

Edit: Phillips grounds out weakly. I will enjoy the 20 minutes that we are 0.5 GB the Pirates

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !!

Cubs win their last 9 road games of the season to finish with an MLB-best 48-33 road record.

Now what the hell am I gonna do for the next two days ??

Well you need to decide who starts the Wildcard game thread.

[Sammy Sofa]

What a great season. Coming in to it my hopes were for an 85-87-type win season if everything went right.

 

This is MUCH more enjoyable.

Don't mess with OMC's streak.

[bukie]

Pirates win, to PNC they go.

[Cubswin11]

What a great season

[UMFan83]

It's official, 97 win team has to play a single elimination game on the road to make the rest of the playoffs.

 

Not as mad as I am dumbfounded that this unlikely of a scenario occurred

[mul21]

Man, 97 wins gets a one game playoff on the road. Just crazy how good this division has been. I don't think there's a guy in the majors I'd rather have on the mound Wednesday than Arrietta. Go get 'em boys. I want to go to a playoff game a Busch on Friday night.

Hey, it's not 2012, which would have left the Cubs out of the playoffs entirely.

[ARCubsFan]

Oh yes that WGN montage was delicious

[Fred Hornkohl]

Game Thread starters for the playoffs............

 

the lineup:

 

at bat: butterscup (9-2) - Wed vs. Pittsburgh

 

on deck: SouthSideRyan (11-3)

 

in the hold: OleMissCub (13-4)

 

 

Definitely an all-star lineup !!

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[mul21]

Um, as Sofa said, I don't think you should break up the 8 game streak OMC is on, especially since he's up 3rd anyway.

[Sammy Sofa]

Stupid MLB.tv cut the feed off before I could see it. Someone get it to YouTube, stat.

Omc went rogue

[Aaron_Kennelly]

OMC with a very strong finish to get into the playoff rotation. A Hendricksian run to finish the year.

Don't mess with OMC's streak.

 

I would say he's due to lose but Ole Miss got stomped by Florida yesterday which probably evens out the mojo.

 

Butters has been great but NSBB is 0-6 since 2003 when stacking the game thread starters. But OMC missed a thread in this current streak so he probably doesn't deserve to start.

[OleMissCub]

Why the hell was my thread removed?

 

Shouldn't we ride a heater??? I've won EIGHT in a row.

 

Don't we go with the same thread starter until the Cubs lose??

[OleMissCub]

But OMC missed a thread in this current streak so he probably doesn't deserve to start.

 

I didn't miss a thread. The old man got impatient and started that game thread right as I arrived to start it.

 

Fred is tempting fate here!

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm very fine with trading spots with OMC to keep this train rolling.
