Best record in the NL clinched (I think) with Pissburgh's win over the Natinals. Nine up with nine left, but the Cubs won the season series.

[WTB...A RING FFS!!]

They clinched due to tiebreaker with Washington.

Thanks to the series when Dusty got his ass handed to him for batting Zimmerman after Harper every game come hell or high water.

He owed that to us, man.

Thunderstorms are in the forecast for tonight.

Even though I have tickets, I have to admit a makeup game next Monday where the Cubs could eliminate the Cardinals would just be too fucking good. I'm pretty sure LFork wouldn't mind taking a day off for that.

For the benefit of us Northern Californians, would  you explain what a "thunderstorm" is?

There were two torrential downpours down here a little while ago. Maybe 10 minutes total.

Oh, and David Ross wins the local "Life Might Be Worth Living" prize for tonight.

As if to show Gord is taking us into his favor at long last, the Cubs won the David Ross Game just before massive winds hit Wrigley Field and the temperature bottomed out.

It's fall. Time to make some fucking history.

Removing the 5-15 span that tested our sanity, the Cubs would be 95-41, a .699 winning percentage, which would've put them on pace for a 113-win season. So as good as they've been, their win total doesn't reflect how good they actually are. That's kind of crazy.
