And most importantly, the Cubs Magic number is 4.
The Cubs need only win the next two series and they are in. Furthermore, if the Brewers lose any games, obviously the they need even less. I've been cautiioulsy skeptical about the Cubs making the offseason this year while other members of the DCS staff have been more confident. Well, it's safe to say the Cubs are in.

No one in the National League scares me except maybe the Mets. For the Cubs to make the World Series they will have to win every series being the underdog and not having home field advantage. That's ok with me, the Cubs have been a good road team.

It's time to get excited Cubs fans, we are in! No do you know anyone who has tickets?
