Home Stretch

By: Big Rygg

Six games to go. One game behind.

Who would have thought, after 156 games, that the Chicago Cubs would have as much to do with the Milwaukee Brewers making the post-season as anyone. Granted, the Brewers absolutely must take advantage of any help provided by the Cubs by handling what they can control, but the Cubs absolutely could control who wins the National League Wild Card this year.

That being said, as I sit down to write this, the Cubs are leading the New York Mets in the 4th inning at Shea Stadium. If the Mets go on to lose, and we go on to win tonight (our game just started), we will be tied for the Wild Card once again with 5 to play.

The season is getting short, Brewer Nation, and it's time this team took care of business.

It all starts tonight.
