Jackson believes he's moving in right direction
This is why the Cubs' hierarchy wants to get a good long look at Brett Jackson.

Cubs manager more concerned with day to day than final record
MILWAUKEE — While the Cubs are on pace to lose 100 games for only the third time in franchise history, manager Dale Sveum doesn't think it's affecting the players.
