The Chicago Cubs are more than halfway through the roughest month of their schedule. Sure, it might have been a little better, but it also could have been a lot worse.
At the end of May I wrote how June would tell the tale for the 2021 Cubs. Three games against the then red hot the San Diego Padres, were in order. Chicago swept that May 31-June 2 series.
Then came the wicked West Coast road trip where the North Siders went 1-3 against the first-place San Francisco Giants but rebounded to take two of three from San Diego Padres.
