MILWAUKEE — In the rubber match of a weekend series at American Family Field, the terrific Brewers issued a Sunday sermon to the bumbling Cubs in a 7-1 stomping.

A sermon about what? Hell, folks. Yes, hell.

The nutshell version: Just when the Cubs might have begun to feel a tiny bit of hope that their bleak season might take a turn for the better and brighter, a much better rival blitzed them with a seven-run fourth inning as if to say, “Enjoy baseball oblivion, suckers.”

In this one game, things turned on the Cubs so fast that it was startling.
