PITTSBURGH -- The Chicago Cubs will have a say in the NL Central race after all -- albeit as spoilers only.
The Cubs finish their regular season this weekend in St. Louis, where the first-place Cardinals are holding on to a one-game lead on the surging Milwaukee Brewers.
Already eliminated from the postseason this week, Cubs manager Joe Maddon was asked if he'll play his regular lineup against the Cards.
"We're going to put a good team out there, but of course they're going to bitch," Maddon said with a laugh.
