In reply to the discussion: Holy cow! The Cubs are going to the World Series [View all]ancianita
(37,715 posts)39. Just got back from the game. Wrigley Field and the North Side were SLAMMIN'! GO CUBS!
Sat right behind home plate! Have never felt such exuberant crowd energy!! The great thing about this game is that it never even felt tense. Not once. That's a great feeling for Cubs fans like my hub and me, who've been through twenty years of waiting. Best game evah!
Look out, Cleveland!

Half the family is not though. I think one of the daughters was wearing a Hillary hat at a game.
