Lackey pitched very well again, though his temper proved his own worst enemy. After a disputed pitch call, he worked himself into such a lather that he walked two guys and gave up a second and ultimately deciding run. When he was a Cardinal, the Cubs managed to exploit this tendency in the NLDS. Something to watch out for at the least.

Mini-Slump
The Cubs are in a bit of a batting funk lately, especially with men on base. This past week, they went 3-3 and averaged only 2 runs per game, their biggest output being 5 runs in a losing cause in the Hammel game last Wednesday. I suppose it is a testament to the quality of their pitching, with the aforementioned Hammel game taken into account, that they were able to split the 6 games.
