When the end to the Chicago Cubs’ season arrives, the organization will dive in and dissect what went wrong.They entered the regular-season’s penultimate game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday still mathematically alive to make the playoffs, though it would require winning their last two games and getting help from the Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds. It’s setting up the finality to a disappointing ending from an underwhelming performance over the final three weeks.Manager David Ross acknowledged his surprise by how September played out for the Cubs.“We haven’t played our best baseball down the stretch,” Ross said. “One thing I was looking at the other night it’s you look at the Orioles of last year and not being able to make the postseason and then building upon something and how you continue to build. I would put this team in that category.“We’re much better than we were last year and we put ourselves ...Brookline’s Lucia Werner captures Frank Kelley Large School race

WRENTHAM – Lucia Werner packed the miles in for four years and has trained with talent that includes the great Camille Jordan and believes it’s her time to shine.The Brookline Warrior senior more than proved her case when won her first-ever major race, defeating a ‘who’s who’ of Massachusetts cross country runners. Werner surged across the finish line to capture the championship race at Saturday’s Frank Kelley Large School Invitational at the Wrentham Developmental Center.Werner was tucked in a 12-runner pack through the mile and was still there with the whittled-to-six cluster at two miles before making a huge move with 400 meters left to pass Holliston’s Maggie Kuchman and take the 5K race in 18 minutes, 21.9 seconds. Kuchman finished well to take second in 18:26.3 and defending Div. 1 All-State champion Aoife Shovlin of Weymouth clinched the bronze medal in 18:34.1.“I’ve never won an invitational so I wanted to lay low so the ...Column: Manager David Ross accepts blame for the Chicago Cubs’ fade down the stretch in the NL wild-card race

The arc of the Chicago Cubs season has been amazing to watch unfold because no other season was quite like it.The Cubs were 10 games under .500 on June 8, then got hot and played 22 games over .500 (50-28) from June 9 to Sept. 6, when they had a 92% chance of making the playoffs.But just when it looked as if they could plan their postseason rotation, they faltered down the stretch, going 6-14 from Sept. 7 through Friday’s loss, putting them on the brink of elimination with a 4.7% chance of getting in.“The odds of anything, I don’t kind of buy into that,” manager David Ross said.No one has taken more blame than Ross, who was under fire at the start of the season, then briefly mentioned in manager of the year talk and currently is being raked over the coals for the team’s late-season fade.Before Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Ross said he deserved his share of the blame.“We’re in this together,” Ross said. ...Congress votes to avert shutdown

Congress has averted a shutdown with just hours to spare, capping a dramatic day that started with a lapse in government funding appearing all but inevitable.The Senate voted 88-9 to pass a “clean” continuing resolution (CR) that funds the government at current levels through Nov. 17 and gives the Biden administration $16 billion it requested to assist victims of natural disasters. The House had earlier passed the measure in a bipartisan 335-91 vote.The CR notably lacks any funding for Ukraine, spending cuts or border policy changes.The bill now heads to President Biden’s desk for his signature before midnight, with both sides claiming victory. “Bipartisanship, which has been the trademark of the Senate, has prevailed. And the American people can breathe a sigh of relief," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said.The vote came together after a hectic day on both sides of the Capitol, one Schumer described as full of “twist and turns.”House Republicans huddled in the m...Senate OKs stopgap bill to fund government until Nov. 17: live coverage

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has averted for now a threatened government shutdown that would have disrupted many services, squeezed federal employees and roiled politics.The threat was set aside late Saturday after Congress voted to keep agencies open until Nov. 17. Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., dropped demands for steep spending cuts and relied on Democratic votes for House passage, before the Senate easily approved the measure Saturday night. House Republicans, fueled by hard-right demands for lower spending, had been forcing a confrontation over federal spending.In a shutdown, some government entities would be exempt — Social Security checks, for example, would still go out — and other functions would be severely curtailed. Federal agencies would cease all actions deemed nonessential, and many of the federal government’s roughly 2 million employees, as well as 2 million active-duty military troops and reservists, would not receive paychecks.A look at what could happen in the ev...4 suspects sought in two break ins at Old City Hall
