Cubs to celebrate division crown today
- Updated: September 16, 2016
CHICAGO — The Cubs didn’t get to use their new celebration room on Thursday night to toast their first National League Central championship since 2008. Most of the players had gone home by the time the Cardinals lost to the Giants late Thursday.
For the second straight year, the Cubs had to delay their party. Last year, the Cubs missed a chance to celebrate clinching a postseason berth because they didn’t know they’d secured a Wild Card spot until the Giants lost on the West Coast. This year, the Cubs began play on Thursday needing a win over the Brewers to clinch, but lost, 5-4, at Wrigley Field. The Giants helped the Cubs by beating the Cardinals, 6-2, at AT&T Park.
Although there were cheers from the bars around Wrigley Field as soon as the Giants-Cardinals game ended, the Cubs’ party will come after Friday’s game, scheduled for a 1:20 p.m. CT start time.
