Let’s address the elephant in the room. The Cubs have gone into a tailspin since I started writing this column. I can see the way you’re looking at me, I see the resentment in your eyes. I don’t think I’ve played a role, but for whatever part I may have played in the Cubs’ recent struggles I truly apologize.
As it is, the Cubs have fallen to 2-8 in their last ten games. A stretch every bit as bad as the one they endured to start the season has dropped them out of first place by a game and a half behind the Brewers.
