Power outage: So far, Mets pitching too much for Cubs hitters in NLCS

NEW YORK – The “Rocky” theme song could be heard all the way on the other side of Citi Field’s visiting clubhouse, probably blasting out of the manager’s office, not far from where backup catcher David Ross would hold court with a group of reporters.

If the Cubs are going to turn this National League Championship Series into a classic underdog/comeback story, they will have to start hitting bombs again and get great pitching from the trouble spots in their rotation.

But if you were looking for someone to punch a wall or flip over a garbage can, you came to the wrong place.
