It is safe to say most Chicago Cubs fans want to completely wipe out the past five games from their memories, especially the series in St. Louis. It looked like after sweeping Milwaukee that the team was going to take off, but a five-game losing streak puts them back at 16-15. A significant part of this ugly streak has been the lack of offense.
Even when the Cubs were riding the five-game winning streak, they were not scoring a lot. In the last ten games, they have scored 26 total runs, which is three runs or less in every game but one.
