The sights and sounds of Chicago after the Cubs win are almost as good as being there

Chicago is waking up happy, still in shock and probably very hungover. The longest-suffering fans in sports had their moment in the sun Tuesday night with their win over the Cardinals and advancement to the NLCS. Maybe you’re a Chicagoan who wasn’t in Chicago or perhaps you’re a Cubs fan who couldn’t get down to Wrigley -- these sights and sounds of the win will let you live vicariously through those who were there.

Still pinching myself about this #ChicagoCubs #flythew #GoCubsGo #nlplayoffs #Cubs

It’s not even 9 a.m. and Cubs fans are still celebrating. Nobody can blame them. Congratulations, Cubs!
