"This is what we're made for": How Cubs are handling uncertainty of the season's final days

After Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals, even Ben Zobrist needed all the possible scenarios for the postseason laid out for him.

Standing in front of a field of reporters, Zobrist asked what the situation was, and it took several minutes and more than one person holding a mic to lay it all out.

At that point, the Cubs were a half game ahead of the Brewers for the division, but Milwaukee wasn't set to start their Saturday game for almost three hours. A win from them would mean the two teams would wake up Sunday tied for the NL Central crown.
