In case you were unaware: last night, the Cubs beat out Clayton Kershaw and the LA Dodgers 5-0 to take the NL pennant at 4-2 in the series. This was an impressive feat to many, but a life-changing event for those diehard Cubs fans who have certainly been letting you know who they are for the past 12 hours.Relive all the emotions of last night's pennant-winning game. https://t.co/riqfogmMVR #MustC pic.twitter.com/Uy95THI5qB
