Sprinting toward October, Cubs close in on another division title
MILWAUKEE Yeah, that really killed us, that sweep at Wrigley, John Lackey said sarcastically late Friday night, dismissing a question about whats happened to the Cubs since the Milwaukee Brewers made their statement against the defending World Series champs two weekends ago. The Cubs are 9-1 since then, but Lackey was in no mood to talk about this finishing kick in the National League Central race, probably because manager Joe Maddon gave him the quick hook in a Big Boy Game, pulling him with a runner on and no outs in the fifth inning.
