The tie I'm really hoping for, now, is Milwaukee and Cubs tying for the division and having to play a 1 game tie breaker before the loser plays in Chicago. Brewers go 3-1 in their 4 left (lose tonight, sweep Detroit) to end at 94-68. Cubs go 3-2 (win tonight & tomorrow, go 1-2 against the Cardinals) and finish at 94-68. Cardinals, erstwhile, go 3-1 and end at 90-72, pass the Rockies (who go 2-3, end at 89-73).
The Cubs losing a tie-breaker game and then losing the wild card game in Chicago to St. Louis would almost make losing this Brewers series worth it.
There is something sweet about that. I will say, out west, things are getting interesting. The dodgers have to play Grienke tonight. And the Giants are very excited to finish their season as the spoiler (they have been VERY public with their desire to see the Rockies make it over the Dodgers). Things are spicy right now for sure. But I’m with you, I’d love to see some 2015 payback against the cubs.
