Yes!
I have one word for every Cubs fan on the planet: CONGRATULATIONS!
You deserved this and let's hope the Cubs can keep it going in the
playoffs. In a lot of ways, the toughest part has already been
accomplished. This 162-game grind is a marathon and if you win your
division, you totally earned it. They're the NL Central Division
Champions, the best team in this 6-team column. And once Wednesday
hits, their regular-season record becomes meaningless. Can you say
there's one team in the NL that is unquestionably better than the
Cubs right now? Whichever 4 make it (the Cubs and Diamondbacks are
definitely in) are all kind of in the same boat--not one is a clearly
dominant team.
So, buckle up and get ready for another fun ride. This has been an
incredibly rewarding regular season. And now it gets even better!

I am glad that the cubs finally won the NL Central Division again. We Cub fans have been waiting for this moment since 2003. I have been a cub fan for over 30 years. Thanks Len and Bob for doing such a great Job on tv. I love the cubs they are the greatest team in baseball.

Thank you Len and Bob for a great season, I love you guys. I spent all of last night watching the Brewer's game, watching the Cubs celebrate on WGN, and calling family members, and crying a little bit too! Watching the Cubs celebrate last night was the greatest thing I've ever seen. All the stress and rough times was so worth it just to see them so happy. I may only be 22 years old but I was a Cubs fan even before I was born....I come from a dynasty of Cubs fans. This is our year, I truly believe it!
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago what do you say The Cubs are going ALL THE WAY!

The team won the division on their own on 9/29/07. They celebrated it on Friday with the Padres victory over the Brewers.
Now the Cubs as a team have to win one game at a time.
The players as a team have to get the base hits first. The homers will come in their natural way.
They have to relax when they are fielding and pitching.
I will be watching it on TV
and rooting for them as I have always done for the past 70 years. This time I will be rooting for a winner.
Forget about that made up goat story that was a bunch of hog watch.

Mr. Hartnett, are you related to Gabby Hartnett, or are you just named in his honor? Just curious. He was a great man.
