Wrigley Field was rocking this week as the Cubs managed to eke out two wins against the division leading Brewers to cut their deficit in the NL Central down to three games. Fans were on their feet with two strikes out in the first and they were in a frenzy singing “Livin’ on a Prayer” with the Cubs up one in the eighth on Tuesday night. As Adbert Alzolay entered the games on Tuesday and Wednesday, fully equipped with a hype video that you can’t help but clap along to, it felt like October in August.
While the Cubs helped their chances of playing in October over this short three-game stint, it is still not guaranteed.
