The 2021 Chicago Cubs are dancing up to the line of historic ineptitude. Since their first-ever combined no-hitter on June 25, the North Siders haven’t won a single game, and are currently in the midst of an 11-game skid that ranks among their worst in history. One more loss will tie them with the worst of this century: a 12-game train wreck that defined everything wrong with the 2012 Cubs.
Beginning on May 15 and ending on May 27, the streak saw the team drop from six games back in the standings to 12, cementing the Cubs’ status as a rebuilding basement dweller under the newly established Epstein regime.
