The last time the Chicago Cubs won 100 games, Franklin Roosevelt was president, the U.S. had 48 states and night baseball was just arriving in the major leagues.That was 1935, when the Cubs went 100-54 before losing to Detroit in the World Series. This years team is on pace to reach that milestone and exceed it. Chicagos victory Sunday improved its record to 88-48, and the Cubs lead second-place St. Louis by 16 + games in the NL Central.Chicagos march toward a division title seems like a mere formality now, and the Nationals and Rangers also have sizeable leads in their divisions. Cleveland has won six in a row to take a 5 +-game advantage in the AL Central.For all the other teams chasing postseason spots, the final month of the regular season should be full of highs and lows. Division titles in the AL East and NL West are still very much up for grabs, and there are several teams in the hunt for wild cards in both leagues.Here are a few things to watch over the last few weeks of the regular season:L.A. STORYThe Dodgers are in good shape to make the postseason one way or another -- they lead the NL West by three games, with a wild card a potential safety net. This should be an eventful stretch run in Los Angeles, thanks to Clayton Kershaws return, Vin Scullys impending retirement and a division race with the rival Giants that could go down the wire.Kershaw is set to pitch Friday at Miami after spending over two months on the disabled list with a herniated disk.LAST HURRAHDavid Ortiz is heading into retirement with a flourish. His OPS of 1.033 is the third-highest of his career.These next few weeks will determine if hell have one more chance to leave his mark on the postseason. The Red Sox are a game out of first place in the AL East, and they hold the first wild card in the American League. But Boston is only two games ahead of Baltimore and Detroit, who are tied for the second wild card.IMMEDIATE IMPACTThe New York Yankees traded away some of their key players before the deadline and were expected to fade from the playoff picture in the AL. Instead, rookie Gary Sanchez went on a tear, hitting .389 with 11 home runs in August. The Yankees are only 3 + games out of the second wild card.Sanchez is one of several rookies who could make a difference for teams fighting for postseason spots. Others include Michael Fulmer of Detroit, Aledmys Diaz of St. Louis and Yoan Moncada of Boston.PATCHWORKThe New York Mets entered the season with an embarrassment of riches on the mound and have had their depth severely tested by injuries. Matt Harvey is out the for the season, and Jacob deGrom and Steven Matz are both sidelined now, leaving the likes of Seth Lugo, Robert Gsellman and Rafael Montero making crucial starts for the defending National League champions.Still, the Mets have won 11 of their last 15 and trail St. Louis by one game for the second wild card.BALTIMORE BASHERSThe Orioles could end up with the major league leader in home runs for a fourth straight season.

Eric Gagne Jersey . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. OTTAWA, Ontario -- Zack Smiths old baseball skills helped the Ottawa Senators find some of their offensive spark again.Smith batted in his own rebound with just under four minutes left to play to tie it before Mark Stone scored with 7 seconds to go as Ottawa rallied past the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Friday night.I have to give a shout out to my old baseball team, the Maple Creek Mohawks, Smith said. My teammates could attest I wasnt a very good hitter but I think I redeemed myself with that one.Stone tracked down a loose puck in the crease and gave the Senators the lead less than four minutes after Smith tied the game.We stuck together for the full game, kept believing in our game plan and it paid off at the end, said Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who had two assists. We had a lot of chances and you get a little frustrated but you have to keep up with what youre doing. If youre getting chances it means youre doing good things.The Senators had totaled just four goals in their previous four games.Dwight King scored early in the second period for the Kings. Jeff Zatkoff had a shutout going through the first two periods, stopping all 18 shots the Senators sent his way. However, after recently came off the injury reserved list with a lower body injury, Zatkoff pulled himself after the second period.Peter Budaj, who had a shutout streak of 140:57 snapped Thursday night in Montreal, came on to start the third and stopped the first 12 shots he faced. Smith was then able to bat his own rebound out of the air and in with 3:54 remaining to tie it.Zatkoff made some pretty crazy saves there on us. We were getting chances, which was helping us stick to it, Smith said. I think thats important to know that we can stick around all game and if you have to wait for the last couple of minutes to score then so be it. I thought we were good all game.ddddddddddddudaj finished with 13 stops.Craig Anderson was the busiest of the three goalies in the game as he stopped 32 shots.We played as good as we could. We were a little overstaffed in the third and we knew they were going to come hard, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said.They have a lot of forwards who drive the net and both their goals were scored when we had defensemen lying around the net, so we lost a couple of battles there.The Kings had the lone power play of the first period and outshot the Senators 14-8 but were unable to get anything past Anderson.Los Angeles came closest to a goal when Nick Shore used a nifty toe-drag to get around Senators forward Ryan Dzingel and beat Anderson with a shot but it hit the post to keep the game scoreless.Jeff Carter initially got credit for the Kings goal 56 seconds, but replays showed his backhander through traffic appeared to hit Kings left leg before going in.Anze Kopitar was stopped point-blank by Anderson on the power play and then missed the net on a short-handed breakaway later in the second.The Senators had a 22-second 5-on-3 advantage i
