It's time for Cubs to get up off the mat

CHICAGO -- It's become a rallying cry for the Chicago Cubs -- maybe even their mid-series theme song. When manager Joe Maddon blasted music from the movie Rocky after his team's Game 2 loss to the New York Mets in the National League Championship series everyone knew his motives:

The Cubs are now the clear underdogs to win the series but aren't going to go down easily -- just like Rocky.

"So when you get behind the eight ball a little bit, sometimes you just go pound on some big slabs of beef in the cooler and obviously you come back and you're fine," Maddon opined on Monday afternoon.
