Mercifully, the Cubs have a day off Thursday, as they have dropped four consecutive series, going 3-9 over that stretch. Despite reeling off two ten-game winning streaks earlier this season, they now sit in second place in the Central, 1.5 games back of Milwaukee.
Houston visit the Friendly Confines this weekend for a three-game series that wraps up this Cubs homestand. The Astros sport a 20-31 record and the third-lowest winning percentage in MLB ... hopefully the Men in Blue can take advantage and get back on track before they kick off a seven-game road trip against the Bucs and Cards starting Monday.
50 games down, 111 to go.
Go Cubs go!
