The Rundown: Cubs Sweep Rockies, Tough Week Ahead, Acuña Charters 40-60 Club, Yankees Eliminated

“With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound, he pulls the spitting high-tension wires down.” – Blue Öyster Cult, Godzilla

The Cubs enter the final week of the season clinging to a postseason berth but with the gargantuan test of needing to beat the Braves and Brewers to get there. A final-week collapse by the Marlins and/or Diamondbacks will get the North Siders in, too. That’s a big ask considering that Arizona gets the White Sox for three games tomorrow, while the Marlins close their season against the Mets and Pirates.

Nobody wants the Cubs to back in.
