MLB Releases Cubs' Entire Remaining Broadcast Schedule For NLDS Against Brewers

History Being Made by Cubs and Brewers

Despite the fact that the cities of Milwaukee and Chicago are so close and the two sides have been going at it for almost three decades since the Brewers joined the National League in 1998, this will be the first time they have ever met in the postseason.

For a team in Milwaukee who had such a phenomenal year though, the Cubs should not be intimidated given that they took seven of the 13 matchups between the two sides. The margins are going to be razor thin during the series, and it would not be a surprise to anyone to see it go the distance of all five games.

It all gets started at American Family Field on Saturday afternoon as Chicago tries to get the series started off right.
