They were flying the 'W' on Wednesday in the Sager family — before the Cubs even played.

Turner broadcaster Craig Sager, a lifelong Cubs fan, was allowed out of the hospital Wednesday for the first time in almost three months — just in time for Game 4 of the NLCS, son Craig Jr. said in a tweet, adding, "Make it a good one Cubs."

They did. And afterward daughter Kacy linked the Cubs getting their "mojo" back in a 10-2 win and her dad being out the hospital. 

Craig Sager continues to undergo treatment for leukemia.

He threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a June game at Wrigley Field and then led the crowd in singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch.
