Five things we learned Thursday: Even the Titanic was vulnerable

1. Even the Titanic was vulnerable. So the Chicago Cubs have lost four games in a row after the Miami Marlins beat them 3-2 behind two solo home runs off Jon Lester and a run in the eighth off Pedro Strop. The Cubs' projected win total has gone from 114 to 107 with the losing skid, and reaching the season wins record of 116 is becoming increasingly improbable. In fact, if the Cubs finish the first half with 10 wins a row, that gets them to 57-24 -- back to a 114-win pace.
