Postseason Bid Ends for Chicago
Monday, September 24th , 2001
Whether or not the Chicago Cubs would have been dangerous in the playoffs is now irrelevant. The team was mathematically eliminated from postseason contention today.

The Cubs have missed the playoffs 114 times in their 131 years as a X Factor Baseball League franchise. This playoff miss is the club's 3rd in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 1998. In the last 10 seasons, the Cubs have made the playoffs 6 times. Chicago last won the World Series in 1908.
