DonDiego found out this morning that the Chicago Cubs had won the 2016 World Series.
Congratulations Cubbies !
However, DonDiego would be negligent not to mention that the "Cubs Winning the World Series" has been considered by some to be a sign of the End Times.
And the last year the Chicago Cubs won the World Series in 1908, umm, there were some scary occurences, . . . like The Tungusta Event:
"The explosion near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River on June 30, 1908, flattened some 500,000 acres (2,000 square kilometers) of Siberian forest. Scientists calculated the Tunguska explosion could have been roughly as strong as 10 megatons to 20 megatons of TNT -- 1,000 times more powerful than the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
The longstanding theory regarding the cause of the event is a cosmic impact from an asteroid or comet. In the last decade, researchers have conjectured the event was triggered by an asteroid exploding in Earth's atmosphere and measuring roughly 100 feet wide (30 meters) and 617,300 tons (560,000 metric tons) in mass -- more than 10 times that of the Titanic.
But recent supercomputer simulations suggest the asteroid that caused the extensive damage was much smaller."

DonDiego counsels the concerned reader not to worry, . . . it's pr'bly nothing to do with the End Times.
