Rockies win NL Wild Card thriller

The unprecedented schedule in baseball on Monday, with two tiebreakers, makes this feel like a consolation game, but it shouldn't be - and it isn't. Jon Lester would be on any short list of pitchers you would want in a sudden-death situation.

The angst returned in spades this year, and blowing the division lead to the Brewers in Game 163 only made things worse heading into the do-or-die wild-card game against the Rockies.

Overall, the Cubs' bullpen has been pretty shaky lately, as Steve Cishek and Justin Wilson all finished September with an ERA above 4.

For the Rockies, it will be the third game in three days in three different time zones. Maybe they had blown a five-game lead in the division, but they were still alive, which only nine other teams could say on October 2. Even though this marked the fourth consecutive postseason appearance for the Cubs, a franchise record, there are many questions facing the team.
