Really, the 2015 Cubs just won 97 games!

The Cubs won't host the NL Wild Card game against the Pirates unless the Reds complete some sort of magical comeback (they trail 4-0 late), but this team just won their 97th game of the season. They finished 97-65 and it's the 9th most wins in franchise history. It's tied with the 2008 club in wins, which was the best team in my life. That team did lose only 64. It's just crazy how good this team became over the course of the season. So. Much. Fun.

Here are the only teams that won more than the 2015 Cubs did:

1906: 116 wins
1907: 107
1910: 104
1909: 104
1935: 100
1908: 99
1945: 98
1929: 98
2008: 97
2015: 97
