The Chirp: The Cubs Win the Pennant

The Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday night in Game 6 of the NLCS, to earn their first trip to the World Series since 1945. That puts them one step closer to their first Series title in 108 years, and athletes from across the sports world — plus the Cubbies themselves — took to social media to celebrate.



First things first … from the Cubbies themselves:

I can’t stop scrolling Twitter. It’s like I’m right there, celebrating with the fans. Nothing sweeter. Love you @cubs fans worldwide
