Quick, live look at Tommy Pham.
So, the Chicago Cubs went to St. Louis and did exactly what Ben Zobrist said they were going to do, clinch the NL Central division title. The Cubs beat the Cardinals 5-1, punching their ticket to the postseason and boy was it so damn sweet to do it in Busch Stadium.

In case you don’t get the Tommy Pham reference, he was pissed off at Ben Zobrist for saying the Cubs intended to clinch in St. Louis.

Love the fact that St. Louis has to smell that champagne the entire off-season 😂😂😂 #CubsClinch pic.twitter.com/k8LebxaP5j

And then you had Joe Maddon giving himself a champagne shower.

Odd move, but hey, it’s a long season, the Cubs are going to the postseason for the third straight year for the first time since 1908, so if you want to give yourself a champagne shower go right ahead.
As a matter of fact, champagne for everyone!

One of the coolest parts of the celebration was Jon Lester’s toast to John Lackey. Lester basically said Lackey is going to retire, but damn this was beautiful.

Smart. Can’t risk any damage to the hands before the NLDS.
More Willy.

And I’m sure Lester and Lackey appreciate this one.

The Cubs still have four more games, including one more in St. Louis, so someone has to start after the party.
