...On winning the 2018 N.L. Central Division title. They are among the top feel-good stories currently in baseball and I feel no other choice but to tip my cap (and hopefully other Cub fans feel the same way), because they earned it. Five games back in early September, they just kept plugging away, and in the end came onto our field and took care of business.

Our guys, on the other hand, got a little complacent after winning two division titles and one world series the previous two years...

Congrats Brewers fans!

Happy to see Shaw continue to be good though I wish he were still doing this in Boston. I thought he'd regress a bit and he's been every bit as good as he was last year. Not only did he continue to flash the same power as last year (.239 ISO in 2018, .240 in 2017), but he's improved his walk rate from 9.9% to 13.3% and he's brought his strikeouts down from 25.1% in 2016 to 18.4% in 2018. He had a 119 wRC+ this year (120 last year) despite having a .242 BABIP (it was .312 last year and he has a career .286 BABIP). I just love that he's played 39 games at 2nd base.

And what a season from Hader. Had 33 games where he recorded at least 4 outs, 23 of those were 2+ inning appearances. Love to see that kind of reliever usage especially in this era. And 143 K's in 81.1 innings.

Congrats Brewers, I've always liked them for some reason, love the throwback uniforms.

Also, the Mets needed a centerfielder, Lorenzo Cain plays centerfield. Lorenzo Cain is good and he's a winner. Also I hate the Mets.

You always feel good for a team when they go out and win it instead of the other team collapsing. Cubs went 16-12 in September but it wasn't enough . Props to the Brewers
