Jon Lester had the following take the Cubs failed to win advance in the playoffs.

"I feel like in the game of baseball, you can never predict anything," he said. "Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. Right now we are taking the bad. For lack of a better term, sometimes you need to get your di$% knocked in the dirt to appreciate it where we're at. Maybe we needed that."
