That was a great walk off. Down to the wire in that division - will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

What was that for?It's a 'W'
It's a Cubs tradition to "fly the W" after a win. Last night wouldn't qualify since they lost, but they clinched so I made an exception.What was that for?
For Cubs fans, the flying of the "W" flag after a victory is a great tradition. (One, by the way, that many White Sox fans loathe, which makes Cubs fans love it even more.)
But now it's teetering on the ridiculous.
The custom began in the 1940s. After home games, scoreboard operators would hoist either a white flag with a blue W or a blue flag with a white L, thus announcing the outcome to neighbors and elevated-train riders.
But the flags have since spread far beyond Wrigley Field. People fly them outside their homes. Some tack them to their office walls.
So, as with other flags of importance, we need to establish some etiquette. Here are The Talk's rules for proper W flag use:
*Don't fly the flag early. If you fly the flag prematurely and the Cubs blow the game, you will be seen by now-angry, superstitious Cubs fans as the proximate cause of the loss. You will deserve anything that happens to you.
*Small W flags, signifying a sign of hope and faith, may be discreetly posted in cubicles provided they do not exceed 11 by 8 inches. Everyday display of larger W flags must be confined to the backyard, out of public view, lest they anger Sox fans and/or confuse passing Cubs fans who happened not to have watched that day's game.
*The Cubs W flag may be flown after a loss, but only at half-staff.
*If you want to fly a flag after a loss at full-staff, buy an L flag.
*Do not post it on your wall, permanently, at your office. This only confuses your colleagues, some of whom will think you're still a George W. Bush supporter.
*If the Cubs lose on an unearned run, you may fly the flag sideways, so that the W, looks like a sharp-edged E (for error).
*The flag must be taken down and stored after the final game of the season. Unless, of course, they win the World Series, in which case it should fly the entire off-season.

The only W that matters is the last one of the entire baseball seasonBut there's a lot of them in the standings.
The Cardinals making the wildcard is my nightmare scenario.The only W that matters is the last one of the entire baseball season
