Cubs clinch NLDS in game 4

The Chicago Cubs have returned to the National League Championship Series and won a playoff game for the first time since 2003, and a Cubs fan immediately celebrated their series win over the St. Louis Cardinals by trolling Cardinals fans in the most masterful way possible. The price is for a game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field.

Perhaps, as a few have said, this team is too young to know they’re not supposed to be this good yet. “It’s been a long time coming for this city, and hopefully it’s just a sign of things to come”.

After waiting over 100 years for their next World Series title, the Cubs moved another step closer to their goal by securing a berth in the National League Championship Series. The Cubs were defeated in seven games by the then Florida Marlins.

The Cubs will play Saturday in game one of the NLCS against the victor of the other NLDS series between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers.

The average price of a ticket on the secondary market for Games 3, 4 and 5 at Wrigley Field next week was $1,325.93 on Thursday, according to ticket aggregator TiqIQ.

The starting pitching matchup pitted Cubs right hander Jason Hammel against Cardinals right hander John Lackey, but neither of these guys made it past the third inning in what became a battle of the bullpens. 538 with three homers and five RBI.

The ball settled on top of the right-field video scoreboard, which was erected just before this season.

Matheny said he planned to have Molina in the lineup after the loss in Game 3, but the injured thumb did not make enough progress overnight.

Schwarber boosted the Cubs lead to 6-4 with a solo homer in the seventh, his towering blast sending the ball out of the park over the right-field stands.

Wainwright was replaced by Siegrist to begin the sixth, and the left-hander yielded a tiebreaking homer to Anthony Rizzo with two out. The Cubs answered with four runs in the second inning, three on a Baez homer in the second inning. Tony Cruz got the start at catcher. Baez, 22, was playing for Addison Russell, the Cubs’ dynamic rookie shortstop, who hurt his hamstring in Game 3. “I haven’t gotten any finalized conclusions from anybody yet”, Maddon said. Despite going up against two compelling postseason baseball games being played in the nation’s three largest markets, ESPN did a 7.7 rating for its Monday night telecast of the Pittsburgh-San Diego game.
