The Cubs haven’t been playing their best baseball over the last week and a half or so, dropping two of three to both the Giants and Mets before failing to close out a sweep of the lowly Marlins.

Pat Hughes will undoubtedly say you can throw the records out the window when the Cubs and White Sox play, and that could be true.
For the sake of their early division lead, however, the Cubs need to take care of business this weekend.
