So, the Chicago Cubs went to St. Louis and did exactly what Ben Zobrist said they were going to do, clinch the NL Central division title. The Cubs beat the Cardinals 5-1, punching their ticket to the postseason and boy was it so damn sweet to do it in Busch Stadium.
And of course the team photo.
In case you don't get the Tommy Pham reference, he was pissed off at Ben Zobrist for saying the Cubs intended to clinch in St. Louis.
Well, Tommy, bottles were indeed popped.
And then you had Joe Maddon giving himself a champagne shower.
Odd move, but hey, it's a long season, the Cubs are going to the postseason for the third straight year for the first time since 1908, so if you want to give yourself a champagne shower go right ahead. As a matter of fact, champagne for everyone!
One of the coolest parts of the celebration was Jon Lester's toast to John Lackey. Lester basically said Lackey is going to retire, but damn this was beautiful.
Now to the beer. Willson Contreras going with the teeth method of opening beer.
Smart. Can't risk any damage to the hands before the NLDS. More Willy.
And I'm sure Lester and Lackey appreciate this one.
Kyle Schwarber. NSFW (probably)
Pee pee action.
I love this team.
Bryzzo is perfect.
Here's Jose Quintana when he finally realized he'd be in the playoffs for the first time in his career.
The Cubs still have four more games, including one more in St. Louis, so someone has to start after the party.
Don't ask Joe.
All right Cubs fans, time to get fucking hyped for October. First, Theo.
Not pumped yet?
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! PS: I miss drunk Munenori Kawasaki celebrating with the Cubs.
