00:00Craig Council said it the best.
00:01This team has been through a lot.
00:04And to get to this moment, you can hear it in his voice.
00:08We hear his voice every single day.
00:09He's experienced it every single day since the day they lost Cade Horton.
00:15Since the reality of dealing without Justin Steele.
00:18Since the 10-game losing streak.
00:19From the 10-game winning streak.
00:21The ups, the downs.
00:23Bregman being on the back of a milk carton.
00:25Bregman being as good as an MVP.
00:27The emotional range that they've experienced this year.
00:31Has been typical maybe of a long Major League season.
00:34But it does seem like the Cubs have been through more than their share.
00:38Of the ups and downs.
00:40And you heard that reflected.
00:41I feel like in a celebration that was a little bit more emotionally charged.
00:45Than I thought it would be.
00:47Because you hear from PCA.
00:48Ian Happ was gathering his.
00:52Collecting himself.
00:54Because when he talked to Bruce.
00:55I'm not sure who was more emotional.
00:56Bruce or Ian Happ.
00:57But both were caught up in the moment.
00:59And that's what happens when you accomplish something like they did.
01:04And it's, yeah.
01:05It's, air quotes, just a wild card spot.
01:08Still.
01:09But it represents the end of a journey.
01:11Which also may be the beginning.
01:13Yeah.
01:13Captain No Fun has never played baseball before.
01:17In that long of a season.
01:19So, David.
01:20You were right yesterday.
01:21You get to that moment to be able to celebrate.
01:23And I was wrong.
01:24You should celebrate.
01:26Have fun.
01:28For me to hear the voices and the guys.
01:31How much fun they're having.
01:32It's almost like an exhale.
01:33Of like, whew.
01:35How long the season's been.
01:36Look where we've gone to.
01:37But, it's not that they, that they still don't have in mind what the, the task is at hand.
01:43And that is still to keep winning ballgames.
01:45It's not over.
01:46But it's also a celebration.
01:47A kind of a stop point to say, whoa.
01:50Look where we've come from.
01:51And now we still have a ways to go.
