It’s still kind of weird to think that the Chicago Cubs were able to take down the St. Louis Cardinals in the playoffs in such convincing fashion, but on Tuesday night, Chicago locked up its NLDS series with a 6-4 win over its NL Central rivals. It marked the first time ever that the Cubs locked up a postseason series at Wrigley Field, and it is the first series won by the Cubs since 2003.

Understandably, Cubs fans and players were happy beyond belief with Tuesday’s big win.

Even America’s most famous White Sox fan – Barack Obama – decided to express his support for Chicago’s other team.

Then, there is the other side – the reaction from the Best Fans In Baseball™. St. Louis Cardinals fans were as angry as you would expect, with them telling Cubs fans to count the rings.

We can’t post some of the other things that Cardinals fans said on Twitter, but if you’re interested, head over to @BestFansStLouis or @FanSince09, but be warned: it’s kind of terrifying.

Let’s end this with some positivity with the best tweet of the night, courtesy of View From The Bleachers.

The Cubs have some time off between now and Game 1 of the NLCS, which will take place on October 17.
