Cubs Clinch

Trevor Hoffman strikes out Rickie Weeks in the ninth, and the Padres defeat the Brewers 6-3. That ends Milwaukee's season as the Chicago Cubs win the NL Central title, the second National League team to claim a playoff spot. Congratulations to the Cubs on a great comeback season. The off-season moves paid off as Soriano, Lilly and Marquis all turned out to be major contributors to the Cubs success, and Lou Piniella kept the team moving toward victory. Congratulations to the Cubs on going from worst to first!

Correction: I forgot that with the Mets losing, the Diamondbacks clinched a playoff spot. They'll either win the west or the wild card, because there can't be a four-way tie involving the Mets, Phillies Diamondbacks and Padres. The DBacks were the first team to clinch. Originally, I thought it was the Cubs. The post was changed to reflect reality.
