Theo Epstein explains why Cubs will turn NLCS around

CHICAGO — The Cubs returned to Wrigley Field on Monday in the NLCS with an unenviable task ahead of them, down 0-2 to the Mets.

It’s not representative of the talent and character we have in this clubhouse. I think we’ll show a lot better baseball over course of this series.
