Arrieta was masterful. . . . just like the Bobcats will be this weekend. Cubs victory is a very good omen for all teams that are maligned and under appreciated. It's the first shutout by a Cub pitcher in a post-season game since the 1945 World Series. Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1907. And some here complain no MACC since 1968? ;-) The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

When you meet the Cards you will be done. What is pathetic is that the 3 best teams in all of Professional Baseball have to play each other from the get-go. If any of the 3 NL Central teams were in any other division including the AL they would be leading that division. At the end of the day the World Series Champ will be from the NL Central. Further, that team will be the Cards. Cubs have a pitcher and that is it. Play 5 games against the Bucco's and the Cubs are back in Chicago. The Pirates owned the Cubs every time we played you this year. Enjoy your one and done.

For the record, I'm all for this one-game Wild Card playoff. Gives teams extra incentive to win the division.

Also, please look up the regular season record between the Cubs and the Cards. Doesn't look overwhelming to me.

There would be plenty of incentive to win the division even if there were a 3-game wildcard series. Being able to rest and align your rotation is plenty of incentive. Being able to hang Division Champs banners is another incentive. In a sport where everything is based on a series but this one game, I think it's dumb, and doesn't make any sense at all.

If that were to happen it might be the greatest prediction of all time. And that's the ONLY thing we'll be able to take away from that movie that ACTUALLY happened. That's insane.

I don't think they make it to the WS. They are well built for a dominating regular season, but I don't think they have what they need to run the postseason.

Its heartening to see that we have a Bobcat-Cub alliance on BA. We will have to see if Clarence Page over at the Trib wants to join up (unless he's a Sox fan - then forget it). OK - back to football!

Not a Cub fan. I"m a Mets fan who was actually rooting for the Pirates last night, but not sad about the Cubs. I hope they Cubs embarrass the CArdinals right before losing to the Mets in the NLCS.

If there is one team the Cubs owe one to it's the Mets. Revenge for 1969 would be on the agenda, assuming they take care of Cards, a longtime rival. Go Cubs!

With the Cubs wearing the #14 patch, I hope that we can get to the World Series in honor of Ernie Banks. In this year of his passing, there would be a bitter-sweet irony in that. Ernie was my childhood idol, and one of my most cherished sports memorabilia is an autographed baseball I got just a few years ago when I made a small donation to Ernie's charity. GO CUBS!
