		<description><![CDATA[During my years as a young athlete, my old coach used to tell my team a phrase prior to making us run. That phrase has came to mind while watching the Chicago Cubs this postseason. &#8220;Life is hard, not right but true. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you,&#8221; This season, the bear [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In what was likely Jake Arrieta’s final start as a Cub, he managed to stave off elimination for one more day. It was a fitting sendoff for a guy whose last four years have rivaled Greg Maddux’s best four years with the Cubs. Without Javier Baez’s pair of dingers and leaping catch on an errant [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jake Arrieta has inspired awe and poetic rhapsodizing more than any other Cubs player in the past few years. With his bushy beard, stolid physique, and no-hit stuff, it was hard to resist Arrieta’s allure as a pitcher—on any given evening, Arrieta could crossfire his way to a complete game shutout with a dozen strikeouts.

		<description><![CDATA[The thought going into tonight’s game was if the Cubs could win, they’d be right where they were a year ago: down two games to one after getting their offense shut down by elite Dodger pitching. There was reason to be confident in the Cubs’ chances of taking game three. They had home-field advantage, and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are no such things as must-win games until you&#8217;re actually facing the axe. There has only been one series comeback from a 3-0 as we know, and those Yankees did not have this rotation or bullpen (just the closer, and the Red Sox got to him, which is an important lesson). Good for the Cubs [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Margins of error in the playoffs are thin. So thin. More often than not, games between two evenly matched teams in October turn on the smallest mistakes: a hung breaking ball, a bobbled grounder, a pitcher deployed in the wrong situation. Ah, a pitcher deployed in the wrong situation—there it is, one of the few [&#8230;]]]></description>
