Not only was Thursday a huge day for the Chicago Cubs after completing the four-game sweep of the New York Mets at Wrigley Field, it marked another milestone for manager Joe Maddon.
So far this season, it’s been nothing but high expectations and the usual woes considering how much this bullpen struggled before this series against one of the top teams in the National League.
