We\u2019re totally out of our minds over a potential Cubs championship.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not just aboard the hype train. That thundering locomotive is charging full speed ahead with no signs of stopping.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not just yelling at the TV.

According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/mlb\/news\/mlb-playoffs-2016-updated-world-series-projections-odds-probabilities-oct-16\/\" target=\"_blank\">updated odds that CBS Sports shared from Sportsline<\/a>, the Cubs are currently considered the best team in the LCS and have the highest odds of winning the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>With the Cubs hysteria sweeping across town, we thought it&#8217;d be fun to speculate on (and prepare for) what would happen if the Cubs brought it home this year, and we think you\u2019ll like the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>First, Complete and Utter Chaos<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3067 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks.jpg\" alt=\"cubs won the world series\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks-635x357.jpg 635w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Wrigleyville-Blackhawks-859x483.jpg 859w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the silence of the final minutes of the bottom of the 9th inning, there&#8217;ll be the eruptive sound of an entire city cheering that&#8217;ll probably be heard from space. Then, we&#8217;re talkin&#8217; swarmed streets, a complete shutdown of traffic, parades, fireworks, helicopters, blimps, an explosion in Wrigleyville (figuratively, of course), possibly flames. Basically, insanity unleashed.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re a fan that&#8217;s waited over a century for a championship, there&#8217;s a lot of emotion that comes into play. A cathartic experience like this would echo across just about every corner of the Earth. So be ready. If you can&#8217;t handle it like a true Chicagoan &#8211; you should probably just pack your bags and evacuate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2.7 Million People Would Call in Sick to Work<\/h2>\n<p>Not that this needs an explanation, but you can rest assured that nothing would get done for AT LEAST one day after the Cubs victory. While us Chicagoans aren&#8217;t really the rioting type, we do have a history of going completely bonkers for championships (we\u2019re looking at you, Blackhawks fans). Combined with the inevitable weeklong championship hangover, you\u2019re looking at a grinding halt in all Chicago business. Meetings? Dinner plans? Don&#8217;t count on it &#8211; cancel &#8217;em.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this is just a blip on the radar compared to the time spent daydreaming about a World Series victory these last 107 years. This decades-long itch we&#8217;ve been trying to scratch definitely warrants the longest break a city can take.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Jake Arrieta Would Be Elected President<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10306\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10306\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CDiqkfzUsAE_7Ys.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10306 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CDiqkfzUsAE_7Ys-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cubs won the world series\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CDiqkfzUsAE_7Ys-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CDiqkfzUsAE_7Ys-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CDiqkfzUsAE_7Ys.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CDiqkfzUsAE_7Ys-550x550.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: Reddit<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Clinton and Trump will be tossed aside faster than yesterday&#8217;s newspaper.
