After a lot of rain and a lot of waiting, they'll finally get that chance today. Despite getting outstanding efforts from both Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer against the Cubs, the Nationals find themselves facing a two-games-to-one deficit in the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile, their backs against the wall and their season on the line. The Cubs will be attempting to reach their third straight National League Championship Series and set off another raucous celebration at the Friendly Confines. "You're playing the most important games of the year; you want to play in better weather," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said after a terrible forecast forced the postponement. "Whatever it is, you've just got to get ready and go ahead and do it. There is no crying. You just go play." First pitch today is slated for 4 p.m. ET/3 p.m. CT on TBS. The Nationals will try to stave off elimination and force a decisive Game 5 on Thursday in Washington. Both teams have an identical 2.08 ERA in the series, but the Cubs have come up with the timely hits in Games 1 and 3. "We've won two games in a row before; it's not a record," Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "It's not an ideal situation to be in; obviously, I'd rather be up 2-1. It's playoff baseball. We'll come back out tomorrow, play a game, hopefully come out on top and go home and have an exciting Game 5." As a team, the Nationals are slashing .121/.200/.231, while the Cubs have a slightly better .179/.274/.298 line. Scherzer carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning Monday night, but the Cubs answered with runs in the seventh and eighth to escape with a 2-1 victory in front of a raucous home crowd. Wrigley Field was alive and rocking, immediately evoking memories of last year's remarkable run. The Cubs know that taking care of business sooner than later is important in October. Momentum can swing in crazy ways, much as it did in last year's World Series, when they overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Indians. "I wouldn't use the word urgency," Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant said. "One game at a time, all that stuff, I still believe in that. I believe everybody here believes in that. We've got a good manager leading the way. It is nice to get the first win at home and use home-field advantage to your advantage. It would be nice [to clinch]. I can't wait to see Jake [Arrieta] out there tomorrow. We know what he does in the postseason. It's going to be fun." Arrieta will make his eighth career postseason start, looking to lower his 3.64 ERA in those games. A free agent after the season, Arrieta hopes to help the Cubs extend this playoff run as long as possible, but he said Monday that he's making sure to soak it all in, just in case this winds up being his final start for Chicago. "Just trying to take everything in, look around a little bit more," Arrieta said. "Trying to kind of capture some mental images of Wrigley and the fan base and my teammates, and just to try and remember as much as I can about these last couple weeks if it's my last time in this uniform." Rather than turn to Strasburg on regular rest -- manager Dusty Baker said the pitcher had been "feeling under the weather" Tuesday -- the Nationals will stick with their scheduled starter, Tanner Roark. Roark will make his second career postseason start, his fourth appearance overall.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.
