A little shaky at times there, but they did it.  I love this team.  Congratulations, guys.

Shaking and sobbing and laughing and OH MY GOD
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

They might win you a few more, if you don't mind sticking around a while.  Congrats Stew.

I can't believe it happened.

Honestly, sharing this with all of you guys is the best.

I wasn't exactly expecting this turn of phrase from ESPN:

Quote from: Bradford DoolittleThe Cubs lost Game 1 by a 6-0 score, but when Schwarber nearly went yard against Kluber early in the game, it showed that he wasn't just medically cleared to play. It showed he was ready to ball.
"The brain growth deficit controls reality hence [G-d] rules the world.... These mathematical results by the way, are all experimentally confirmed to 2-decimal point accuracy by modern Psychometry data."--George Hammond, Gμν!!

Leave it up to our Cubbies to come back from 3 games to 1, have a 6-3 lead with 2 outs in the 8th and blow that, go to the 10th with a rain delay, score 2, give one back and win game 7 by a run to end 108 years of futility. O FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

That game was the best and worst rollercoaster I've ever been on. But to break through 108 years of demons, I guess that's the only way to do it.

I can't wait to watch the entire thing all over again when I've emotionally recovered.

Thanks to all of you for the last ~11 years of commiseration. It's made this absolutely insane ride a lot more bearable.
