Nearly 100 years ago, the Chicago Cubs beat the Detroit Tigers for the second straight year to win back-to-back championships. It was the last time the Cubs won the World Series. These guys were so dominant that they didn’t even HAVE numbers on the backs of their jerseys. Just like the Cubs no longer have a magic number.

1908 was also the debut of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Somewhere, Harry is smiling, drinking a Bud, and dancing with a bleached blond girl with feathered hair and hot pink shorts.

Your Chicago Cubs have won the 2007 NL Central pennant. Enjoy it, folks. Celebration time in the comments. I’m off to Cincinnati to watch a (thankfully) meaningless game. It’s time to gear up for some postseason baseball. Try to ignore the huge douche in the foreground and listen to the Cubs announcers.

Let’s. Go. Cubs.
