Both the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs played a one game tiebreaker yesterday to decide who would win their respective divisions, and both lost (surprise!). They will therefore meet each other today in a one game playoff at Wrigley Field (seen in the above photo back in 1935) to see who will advance to the National League Division Series. The Cubs lost to the Milwaukee Brewers and the Rockies lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The only good news is that one of them has to win tonight's game. In any case, the above photograph comes from the 2018 CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) Historical Calendar, and shows Chicago's Wrigley Field after one of the 1935 World Series games between the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers. The Cubs lost that series to Detroit 4 games to 2. Not a surprise. Of course, I should not be so hard on either the Cubs or the Rockies. My South Side heros, the Chicago White Sox, wound up losing 100 games this year. And no, I am not surprised at all.
