The last 108 years or so has been torturous for Chicago Cubs fans. Then, on Saturday, October 22, 2016, a day that shall live on in the memories of modern day Cubs fans forever, the Chicago Cubs won the NLCS and earned their first trip to the World Series since 1945!
The scene here in the city has been electric. Wrigleyville was packed with an estimated 300,000 on Saturday night. The bars were over-flowing, many charging much more than their normal cover charges for a game day. Fireworks were exploding in all the cities neighborhoods well into the night after the Cubs clinched.
At night, the Chicago skyline is dotted with Cubby Blue on most of the major skyscrapers. The Art Institute has donned Cubs caps on their world famous lion statues at their entrance. Cubs jersey's and W flags are present everywhere. Both Northsiders and Southsiders have joined in a sort of peaceful unity in honor the Chicago Cubs being in the World Series.

This Labor Day weekend we will watch the calendars flip over to September and on we go into the final month of the MLB regular season. Lots of news worthy stories have been fluttering around baseball all season. It has been a season with 3 perfect games, a possible PED stained batting title, major trades, and in the first season of the additional wild card spot we could see both the Nationals and Orioles in the postseason.
The 2012 season has been more packed with history than any season I can remember in recent past. Aside from the things I've already mentioned, we might have a rookie win both ROY and the MVP. Not since 2001 has anyone completed this feat and Mike Trout would be just the third player ever to do so. Heck, why not? Trout has already become the only player to achieve 20 HR/40 SB as a rookie among other "first player ever to" distinctions. And any time in baseball you are the first player to do something it is a pretty incredible feat. Lets just say there have been a few games played over the years and plenty opportunity for just about anything and everything to happen.
As we approach the coveted month of October it is interesting to experience the playoff races for the first time in the era of two wild card spots per league. Seems like there won't be as much panic for teams until the final couple weeks. There is a little more breathing room to make the playoffs. Although I will say that there is a clear advantage to being the division winner so don't look for the teams at the top to let off the gas at all.

In late March 30 teams started their journey towards earning a playoff spot and ultimately winning the World Series. After a total of 4,860 games, all the stats have been recorded and the tale of the regular season comes to a end. This season was full of milestones, wild finishes, and lots of really good pitching. The last few weeks of the season provided fans with a great preview of what is to come this October. At the end of the day we are left looking at 8 teams who could possibly win the fall classic.*

Tomorrow we will all flip the calendar over to September, and with it comes 40 man rosters and do or die situations for teams across MLB. Teams that find themselves in a hunt for the playoffs will try to put everything together in the last month of the season to earn a playoff spot. At this point in the season there are several teams with comfortable divisional leads and several others find that they are underachieving and might be looking at spending October on the couch.

Don't change the resolution on your monitor. You just read that correctly. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in first place! This is not the first week of the season. It's the morning of July 19.
After 18 consecutive seasons where the Pittsburgh Pirates finished the year with a losing record, they are on pace not only to finish with a winning record, but to also win the National League Central Division for the first time. Back in 1992, things were looking great for the Pirates. They finished with a record of 96-66, which won them the National League East Division. However, for the third straight year, they lost the 1992 NLCS to the Atlanta Braves in one of the greatest playoff series of all-time.

For the first time since 1966, St. Louis is hosting the Major League Baseball All Star Game. I could not be any more excited. This is a great ballpark. If you haven't been to this stadium yet, you are truly missing out.
First of all, it is nothing like old Busch Stadium. On a summer night, you will get a breeze!! The current Busch Stadium was actually built around the old stadium. When you are walking down the lower level concourse, the old scoreboards are hanging up in the same spot as they were during the final game at old Busch Stadium. Also, It's hard not to notice the St. Louis Arch behind the outfield.
When purchasing your tickets for the All Star Game or Home Run Derby, keep in mind that there are no bad seats at Busch Stadium. I personally like sitting on the 200 level. Great view of the stadium, plus you are not too high up either. if you are on a budget, there is nothing wrong with sitting on the 400 level either. No obstructions. Of
