Default 2016 Cubs are WS champions

Unless you are living in a hole, I am sure this is not new news but the 108 year drought is over for us Cub fans. Was an awesome series and awesome game 7 in extras. Will be one of the more memorable World series in the history of the sport. Indians were a tough adversary and they played us tough. Go Cubs Go!

What an amazing WS...I live in Seattle but I grew up with a Dad who LOVED the Cubbies (Ron Cey started it...haha) and I travel each week...and got to see the Cubs several times at Wrigley this year....so a transplant long term fan (behind my beloved Mariners of course). Sitting in a bar in St. Paul Minnesota right now and the place is going nuts...great day for the MLB!!!!

What a series...what a game. A true tribute to the sport we love and support. There are long time Cub fans here weeping...

I was going to be a smart a$$ and say Stand up Frank's but I seen my favorite dive bar in MSP closed. Had some crazy times there back in the late 80's early 90's.

I'm sleepy as all get out this morning, but what a game!!

How lucky is Ben Zobrist?

The only downside to this historic event: tickets to Wrigley will now be the most expensive item of the trip to the National.

I'm baseballed out. Watched more games this season than any year I can remember. Well needed break needed. Still and always the greatest game in the world.

I don't watch MLB but did some of the WS and Game 7. That was a great game. Congrats to the Cubbies and their fans. I am a National League person so was rooting for them....

An unexpected side benefit...

My wife is definitely not a baseball fan. But she's from Chicago, and would sit with me reading or playing a game, sort of listening while I watched the series. During game 3, she lifted her head and said, "What's the difference between a 2-seam fastball and a 4-seam fastball?" Hooked!

In case you wondered why there wasn't a jersey as bright as the sun shining from the seats behind home plate, the Marlins Man had to sit this one out: https://mobile.twitter.com/Marlins_M...545385472?s=04
