I get the Cub's reaction winning for the first time at Wrigley, but watching the Jays celebrate today you would have thought they had won the WS - I liked it, but I don't recall teams reacting so much over a Division Series win. (I suppose it has a lot to do with the Jays losing the first two games and coming back to win)

Being a diehard Cub fan since 1968 and having my heart broke so many times, I thought the Cubbies celebration was pretty tame. Especially since they knocked their Arch rival Cardinals out of the post season. They in general showed some class and respect for their opponents and the fans were quite well controlled. If the do win the World Series, might be a little different and I am sure Chicago will erupt. Not holding my breath but I sure do hope to see this celebration and Theo and Maddon will be treated like baseball gods.
