    Cubs win!

    108 year dry spell broken. Holy cow! Holy crap!

    Here's to Ron Santo, Harry Caray, Ernie Banks (Mr Cub)!

    It's going to be a hard winter! Hades has officially frozen over!

    Yes, quite a game! I stayed up until almost midnight to watch it but then went to bed. Heard that a downpour came between the tie score in the 10th inning and the win.

    Very poetic! The deluge that ended the Cubs drought. Good for them.

    That is great for Chicago! Even though I think we are supposed to hate the Cubs here in St. Louis, how can we begrudge them a series win after 108 years? Yeah, you guys can have a win, oh, about every 108 years, we need a rest from winnng.

    I did not have a big favorite, but what a game and a great series.

    I grew up on the Cubs. I was delighted to see them win their first Championship since the invention of sliced bread. But I have to admit that I'll miss the perverse bragging rights that come from passing the century mark without winning a title.

    I watched the last three or four innings. It reportedly was a cliff-hanger series, and the last game was fittingly a nail-biter. Good for the Cubs.
