I’m pumped, but at the same time I am a little disappointed. Not in the Cubs, but in the Brewers for not lasting one more game. I have tickets to the Cin/Chi game tomorrow night and as the weekend approached I thought I would be there for the big win and get to watch them rush the field. But I’m glad they made it!!! Go CUBBIES!! ---

It’s great and all but aren’t there only 5 teams in the division? Seems kinda uncompetitive to me. ---

Yeah, remember what happened in the '89 playoffs. Biblical indeed.
