There are other particularities to be worked out, but this is a fact:
For the first time since 2008, the Chicago Cubs are headed to the playoffs.
Sure, it would have been nice to clinch that on the field, but you don’t always get to pick the way it plays out. For tonight, the Cubs have clinched the second Wild Card spot, at a minimum, and some very exciting times lay ahead.
Enjoy it. The Cubs are headed to the playoffs.
