It has been 108 years since the last time they won, so fans were definitely on the excited side when they won 8 to 7 in the bottom half of the 10th inning in overtime. I know this because my neighborhood erupted into a barrage of fireworks that rivaled anything I've heard on New Years or 4th of July while my dog was losing his mind at the sudden noise that sounded like we were dropped into the middle of a war zone. My facebook blew up. The posts about the game are the only thing running down my timeline right now.
I am happy for my friends who are fans and excited about their team winning. I'm just not into sports and don't follow them at all. So when a friend messaged me to let me know about the win and just be excited I congratulated her and am genuinely happy for her and my sports fan friends. I just couldn't really have an intelligent discussion on the merits of the final inning and comment on the intricacies of the game play.
I do offer a big congrats to any Cubs fans here who have been waiting for this. Yay! Go sportsball team!
