Since they have their own thread for their series with Houston.

Actual NL match-ups get set today, with two tiebreaker games. The Cubs choked down the stretch to allow Milwaukee to catch them and then pass them with a 3-1 win today. What a shame. And it'd be a bigger shame if they got beat by the Colorado-Dodgers loser tomorrow. A real big shame.

Tribe. 

/threadshit

On a serious note, will the Cubs host the WC game or will they have to travel west?  It's going to be shitty for either team, but I would say worse for the Cubs if they have to trouble since they have to wait to see where they go. 

Wouldn't they host on account of them having the best record of the potential WC teams?

Yeah, at the end of the game, I think I saw a graphic saying they'd host it.

On a related note, how was it determined who'd host the games today? Their records vs. each other in the regular season?

True.  These play in games are throwing me off.

Yeah. Cubs led the season series 11-8 so they hosted. 

Arcia’s 1st career 4 hit game after sucking on offense all season.

nice timing

Lol baby nipples are back

Cubs/Rockies tonight. Hope the Rockies win. I would like to see the Brewers come out of the NL and the Indians out of the AL.

I've been thinking this for a while, but haven't put it in words until now:

I'm smiling about the Yankees having to play the one game wild card.  Ha ha ha! I'm sure the format will be changed now because of it.

Go A's.

Only if they get eliminated.  It worked out well for them last year, unfortunately.  The format is stupid as hell though.  It should be a 3 game series and all games played at the higher seed's ballpark. 

Go Rockies because the Tribe should have won the 2016 World Series. Cubs fans are annoying. Chicago is a shithole with females that can't understand normal thinking and dindu nuffins that ruin their neighborhood. At least the pizza is okay.

Runner on 3rd for the Rockies with one out.  Batter fails to get him in, but the main cause was the ump calling strikes on the first 2 pitches, fastballs that were 5" outside.  Terrible!

Disagree. Love the 3 game series but want every playoff team to have at least 1 home game for the fans.

4 seed vs 5 seed.....4 seed chooses home for game one or host for day 2 day night DH

but I like your idea better than just the 1 game

Rockies should maybe have 4 runs, but only have 1....they better add on or something “magical” gonna go against them

Dahl huge mistake but Freeland just wow

Cannit believe they took Lester out.

Bryant or Bote going to walk this game off

I do NOT care what ends up happening...do not take out your starter who is dominating in the playoffs, ESPECIALLY on the road in a hostile env

Ottavino!!

and Ottavino gives up the tying run

Damnit Rockies

This is damn good. Defenses alert on everything. Catcherscoving 1st and 3rd

Play ball

Wilson? I wouldnt

Somewhere this morning Joe Buck is crying into his Kyle Schwarber autographed Cubs thong. Won't miss Chicago and their now insufferable fans in these playoffs one bit.
