The time has finally come for the Cubs to begin the playoffs. After dominating the regular season in route to 103 wins, Chicago began the National League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants. Jon Lester got the game one nod against Giants co-ace Johnny Cueto. Joe Maddon likes to tell his players to no let the pressure exceed the pleasure, but on Friday night it seemed the pressure was overwhelming.
