Cubs celebrate division title in style: 'Champagne is the best smell in baseball'

Miguel Montero stood on the table in the middle of the Cubs' state-of-the-art clubhouse, spread his arms wide and tilted his head toward the ceiling.

As Carl Edwards Jr. jumped around waving a "W" flag like a cape, a group of Cubs players blasted Montero with beer, champagne or whatever they had lying around.

It was the perfect image to capture the Cubs' celebration Friday evening, less than an hour after Montero had walked the Cubs off with a home run into the left-field bleachers.

The win itself didn't really matter much, as the Cubs were ready to pop bottles and make some memories no matter what the outcome of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
