The Cubs appear to be sliding downhill the wrong way and the brakes are out. They lost Sunday for the third straight day, for the sixth time in seven games and the eighth time in 10 games. It’s all pretty awful right now.
For a very bad team, these slides are usually talent finding its level. The team gets bashed day after day. The pitching gets bombed and the offense just isn’t able to put big crooked numbers on the board. It usually becomes demoralizing though rather than frustrating. This Cubs streak is right out of the world of frustrating.
