The Cubs defeated the Brewers 5-3 Saturday afternoon in Milwaukee on Ian Happ’s two-run homer in the eighth inning.
But that’s not the story of the game. THIS is the story of the game:

Just so there’s no doubt what Steele said:
"WAKE THE F**K UP! WAKE THE F**K UP!"
Justin Steele wasn't holding back in the Cubs dugout
