The Margin Ep. 11 | The Cubs Have Been Here Before (opens the original)
Read excerpt
October feels different. The baseball isn't. The Cubs are officially playing postseason baseball, and every pitch suddenly feels heavier. A leadoff walk feels like a crisis. A runner on second feels like he's already headed home. One bad inning can change a game — and in October, one game can change a season. So yeah...we're anxious. But should the Cubs be?

The Chicago Cubs have already punched their ticket to October. Now they're fighting the Padres and Phillies for Wild Card positioning — and the right to host the entire Wild Card Series at Wrigley Field. That sounds like an obvious prize.
