Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I wikitoria te Cubs i te taitara National League Central Division i te 2003, a ka hinga i a Atlanta i te National League Division Series, ko ta raatau wikitoria tuatahi mo te raupapa puranga mai i te 1908. I muri mai ka tae mai ratou ki roto i te rima o nga waahi mai i to ratou putanga tuatahi o te Ao Series mai i te 1945. E toru ngā kēmu ki te kotahi i runga i ngā Florida Marlins i te NLCS, ā, ka ngaro i ngā kēmu e toru whakamutunga, tae atu ki te kēmu 6 rongonui e pā ana ki ngā kaiwhaiwhai
I whai ake a Steve Bartman i te hapa a Alex Gonzalez i runga i te poi takirua takirua i mutu ai te huringa me te kaute 3-1 hei painga mo nga Cubs.
