Cubs, Lackey unable to break in rings with 'W'
Addison Russell flips the ball to second to start a 6-4-3 double play to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 8th inningIt seemed appropriate that John Lackey started for Chicago. Last August, the right-hander quipped: "I didn't come here for a haircut. I came here for the jewelry." He got his ring before heading to the bullpen to warm up for the game, played in chilly 45-degree weather. A total of 1,908 rings will be distributed to those connected with the Cubs -- fitting since 1908 was the last time the team won a World Series.
