Chicago Cubs: The slump continues

In their last seven games, the Chicago Cubs have given up an average of 7.14 runs per game. That’s a recipe for losing. The most disturbing part of this prolonged slump is that the Cubs are losing to some pretty mediocre teams. The Cardinals were only a couple games over .500 when they swept the Cubs in Chicago. The Mets were struggling mightily to score runs before the Cubs came to town.

That brings us to the Reds. The Cubs’ have absolutely owned the Cincinnati Reds up until this series. You can’t expect Chicago to sweep them every time, but they really shouldn’t be dropping series’ to teams that bad.
