I had an eventful of evening of watching over four hours of baseball last night. Ideal results happened with both games. The Cubs defeated the Reds 6-0...and the Padres defeated the Brewers 6-3. Thus the Cubs became the first NL team to clinch a spot by winning the NL Central. The Padres as of last night has clinched at least a tie for the Wild Card Spot...and are still one game out of the division.
Also for the Padres...Greg Maddux won his 14th game of the year and the 347th of his career. It wasn't his best outing (3 ER over 5 innings) but he battled...and the Padres won. Hats off to the bullpen...especially Clay Meredith for inducing a big double play in the sixth inning to get out of a based loaded jam.
This afternoon...Jenny and I are off to Cincinnati to watch the Cubs take on the Reds. The game has "basically" no significance but I'm still excited to go. It is very rare when Cubs fans can watch a regular season game knowing your team is already in. That's a good feeling. I'll definitely be scoreboard watching the Padres/Brewers game as a Padres win locks up their Wild Card bid.
Fun times.
