It has been a horrendous stretch for the Chicago Cubs to close out the month of May. After sitting firmly above .500, holding onto a Wild Card spot, and lurking in the NL Central race, they have now completely fallen off a cliff, sitting with a 28-30 record after Friday's disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Since beating the Pittsburgh Pirates in a series that ended on May 12, the Cubs have gone 4-13 in their last 17 games. Things could not be lousier as their offense has been one of the worst in Major League Baseball during this month and is a huge reason why they have floundered.
