"I assume at some point berselius will do a preview for the NLDS matchup, or not, it could go either way, but the Cubs did earn a bus trip up to Milwaukee. Over the course of 2025, we've been partially annoyed about a trip to Tokyo, the pissing away of the division (probably more Brewers voodoo but still some Cubs slumpiness), and the myriad wins that became losses (although there were plenty of wins they probably had no business getting too)."
"At the end of this wild card series, the Cubs did score more than the other team, pitched better overall, and punched their ticket to the next round. The first bit of satisfaction was the clinching of a postseason spot. Now, they get to keep playing, and we see how far they go. But the question remains whether you can be satisfied with a mere trip to the postseason and a wild card win, or if you want more."
The Chicago Cubs secured a postseason berth and won the wild card series, outscoring and outpitching their opponent to advance. The team earned a trip to Milwaukee for the NLDS after a season that included a Tokyo trip, a lost division to the Brewers, and many blown leads alongside improbable wins. The players aim to continue advancing deeper into the postseason. For fans, the wild card victory provides satisfaction and extra games, but remaining success is uncertain and feels like house money. At least three more games remain, and the hope is that the Cubs continue performing well.
