Cubs 5, Brewers 4; And the band played on... by Damen Jackson

Filed: September 16th, 2008 Click here for photos of last night's game. Well, they tried a different manager. Didn't work. CC Sabathia got outdueled, Dale Sveum got out-managed, and the Cubs were just a little better Tuesday night, giving them...
