This One Is Over

September 28, 2007 by cubsnet

After Trevor Hoffman struck out the side in the 9th inning of the San Diego Padres' 6-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers tonight, radio play-by-play man Bob Uecker went to break with, "This one is over."

When the Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs on June 30, they moved to 7.5 games ahead of the Cubs, the second place team. With the Cubs' 6-0 win tonight over the Cincinnati Reds and the Brewers' loss, the Cubs have clinched the NL Central divisional crown with two games to spare. It is not exactly a 1969 Cubs-style collapse for the Brewers, or even a 2007 Mets-style collapse, but it is a collapse. The Cubs needed help after their slow start and they got it when Milwaukee went 20-34 in July and August.

Carlos Zambrano came up huge tonight, throwing 7 shutout innings. He moved his season record to 18-13 and he is lined up to start Game 1 of the NLDS. Zambrano had decisions in 31 of his 34 starts this season. Zambrano's 31 decisions are the most by a Cubs' pitcher since Greg Maddux went 20-11 in 1992.

Alfonso Soriano also had a big game, leading it off with a home run, doubling, and throwing (another) runner out at the plate. The Cubs have not had a strong-armed outfielder with as an accurate an arm as Soriano since Andre Dawson.

Either Chip Caray or Steve Stone may be broadcasting the Cubs' playoff series.

Post game celebrations and swim googles

Did anyone here watch both the Cubs and Red Sox celebrations?

Many Red Sox player were wearing swim goggles to avoid the sting of the champagne in their eyes.

I didn't notice any goggles on our Cubbies. Some folks may say the Cubs weren't prepared, but I suspect they weren't taking any chances on "jinxing" their possibilities by being prepared for a celebration like that.

Wiping the sweat off by brow

That was a lot closer than than I would have liked it to have been, but at least, we avoided a playoff. I guess it's better to back into the playoffs than not get there at all, but I would have much prefered the Cubs to have wrapped this up last week.
