CHICAGO -- Considering all the Chicago Cubs are playing for as they enter the final two months of the regular season, manager Joe Maddon won't allow his team to look past anyone.
That message became abundantly clear after the Cubs dropped the opener of a four-game series with the last-place San Diego Padres on Thursday. Although Chicago bounced back and held off San Diego in a 5-4 victory on Friday, Maddon hopes the Cubs won't allow themselves to play down to the competition moving forward.
That continues Saturday when the Cubs and Padres meet again at Wrigley Field.
