Cubs Win!!!!!!!

[Kathianne]

Happy for the Cubs & fans, a long time coming! I was at Shea when the Met's won in 69 and the place was crazy with excitement & relief, I'm sure the feelings in Chicago were ~5x that.

'69 wasn't the best year for the Cubs. Luckily our day has come.

Today is parade day! The transit system is a mess. They did dye the Chicago River Cubs Blue though!

CHICAGO (WLS) --
Get ready to party, Chicago! The Cubs are finally World Series champions and the city is ready to celebrate with a victory parade.


The parade is scheduled to step off late Friday morning at Wrigley Field, lead the celebration down the Magnificent Mile and culminate with a rally at Hutchinson Field in Grant Park.

...

Fans are encouraged to take public transportation, since street closures took effect early Friday morning.

Congrats, Kathianne!!

That was a helluva game 7. Outside of my own team (Dodgers), I think that was the best game 7 win I've ever witnessed!! And then add it in that it was the Cubs kicking 108 years to the curb... was just great. They earned it.

Kirk Gibson?

Nothing beats coming out injured and slamming one to win the game!! That was also one of the best, but it was only game one. But it was the Dodgers!!

Don't forget the time change.

Chicago has a population of just under 3 million. 5 million showed up for the parade!

The Chicago River is usually a putrid green, though not as polluted as most rivers. On St. Patrick's they turn it Kelly Green, today it is Cubbie Blue:
