After a rough start in the first part of the 2007 season, the Cubs were able to overcome the Milwaukee Brewers (who had led the division for most of the season) through an inspired stretch of baseball in June and July. After a less-than-impressive August, the Cubs got over the hump in September, clinching the Central Division on September 28 in Cincinnati, insuring their first post-season campaign since the disastrous 2003 playoffs. The Cubs were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Division Series.
