the meaning of the secondary sign is more straightforward yet also a little more complex, particularly since some math is involved. the letters "ac" stand for "anno catulorum," which again is latin-based, meaning "in the year of the cubs." the numbers which follow refer to three different date markers—counting the years since the team’s seasonal and playoff success. the first two represent the number of seasons since the cubs last won the national league central division title (2017). the next two represent the number of seasons since the cubs last won the national league pennant (2016). the last three (originally two) represent the number of seasons since the cubs last won the world series (2016). using this vernacular, ac000000 would indicate that the cubs won the division and national league title and world series title this year. that finally happened early in the morning on november 3, 2016, when the cubs defeated the cleveland indians in game 7 of the 2016 world series.

bullet::::- the chicago cubs clinched a postseason series at wrigley field for the first time ever, after beating the st. louis cardinals to win the nl division series in four games. a day after hitting a postseason-record six homers, the cubs got home runs from javier báez, anthony rizzo and kyle schwarber en route to the nl championship series. báez hit a three-run homer in the second inning, rizzo belted a tiebreaking home run with two outs in the sixth, and schwarber cleared the right field scoreboard with his 7th-inning blast to give the cubs a 6–4 lead. the shot by rizzo, was his second in two games against reliever kevin siegrist, who was charged with the loss. the cubs fell behind quickly on stephen piscotty's two-run homer in the first off starter jason hammel, who left after giving up two runs over three innings. seven relievers combined to hold the cardinals to two runs and five hits the rest of the way. trevor cahill earned the win, and héctor rondón closed the nine for the save. following a mlb-best 100-62 record in the regular season, the cardinals failed to advance in the postseason after winning at least one series the previous four years. pitching on three days rest, st. louis starter john lackey gave up four runs and four hits over three innings after out-pitching jon lester, 7–0, in the series opener. the cubs last reached the nlcs in 2003, when they lost in seven games to the florida marlins, the eventual 2003 world series winners. wrigley field hosted its first cubs game in 1916, eight years after they last won the world series.
