It’s time to buckle down. That much is clear. The Chicago Cubs have allowed the Milwaukee Brewers to hang around all season long (although, Milwaukee has done themselves plenty of favors, as well). Chicago enters the weekend with a 2 1/2 game lead over the Brew Crew – not giving much room for error with a week-plus left to play.
At this time of the season, ball clubs may make excuses but if you are not playing top ball, its really on you. Everyone knows now is the time to buckle down and get it done. That’s where the Cubs find themselves with 10 games left in the season.
