Today, we’re going to talk a little bit about the power of perception. It sure feels like the Cubs have struggled a lot over the last two weeks doesn’t it? Sure, if the Cubs had been shutout again on Monday (they didn’t score until the seventh inning after having been shutout in back-to-back games), we’d be rightfully concerned about the offense. But, on August 16, the Cubs lost the first game of a three game series with the Pirates. That loss followed a three game sweep at the hands of the Phillies. After that game on August 16, the Cubs were 64-58.
