And then there was one… The Cubs won their series in St. Louis which meant they left to come back home with the Magic Number to clinch the NL Central division at 1. Doesn’t that feel good?
It’s been the Cardinals division.. for a long time. I feel like this is the first step to changing that. I feel like this will be something that the Cubs get used to… something that the Cardinals get used to. It will feel good to look down on them in the standings… to watch that Cub pennant fly atop the division flags in Wrigley. This is the start of something.
Last year was really the start of something with the Cubs bursting on the scene in the 2nd half, and never letting off the gas. They ran out of gas, or ran into the dominant Mets pitching staff in the NLCS, that ended that coming out party. That coming out party was missing the obvious, but it was also missing a division title. This year will not be missing that. And oh yeah, and that party, it isn’t over…
The whole theory of Theo piling up on prospects, hoping to hit on some, has turned out better than most have imagined. All these hit or miss prospects have been hit. This presents a good problem to have I think. Not only will it force Maddon to make some tough decisions… maybe not so tough… on the playoff roster, but for next year… But, we are not worried about next year. No, that much used company line for the Cubs is gone. We’re worried about THIS year.

By the end of Thursday night, the Cubs should have the first prize on this journey: a division crown. Then there’s the next step of capturing the NL’s best record, which will provide home field advantage for the NLDS and hopefully the NLCS. Once that’s done, then the magic number is reset to 11.
It’s that number 11 that will soon become most important. It’s that small number of games that are left to win to end the longest drought in professional sports history. This will become more and more talked about as the calendar inches ever so close to October. This is what’s been in the back of my mind since last year’s NLCS loss; it’s now being brought to the front. We are almost there.
Was going to try to get tickets for Thursday’s potential clincher… but will be watching at home instead. I think I will crack a beer open if that happens tonight. It is something to celebrate. It’s not THE thing, but it’s something. Kind of like all these wins the Cubs have piled up this year… it’s truly a celebration bitches.
Ready to check off the first box; ready to prepare for the next. Magic Number One… you won’t last for long. GO CUBS!!!
