100 wins would have been a nice total. But Lou got 116 in Seattle and exited the playoffs in the first round. I just want the 11 post-season wins now. If they get 99 reg. season, we can always say they were cheated out of the 100th, by virtue of the cancelled game with Houston. Although, there still remains a slim mathematical possibility that the Cubs will have to play that game on Monday, as Houston is still alive in the wild card. But that is unlikely.
1 win by either the Mets or the Brewers or a loss by the Astros eliminates Houston.
Thats why I said it was a SLIM mathematical possibility. I love that the games in Milwaukee will be so crucial. It will help the Cubs keep their competitive edge. Plus, I have tickets to Saturdays game and I would have hated to drive up to Milwaukee to see all the starters sit the game out. Thats gonna be a fun time up there. It's not likely, but the Cubs might sweep the Brewers. I have not checked to see whom the Astro's play, but how wild would it be, if the wild card ended up in a 3 way tie?
