Cubs and Steins

On June 2nd, the Cubs lost their sixth game in a row to fall to a season worst 22-31 putting them in 5th place.

On June 3rd, Monica and I flew to Chicago. The Cubs not only snapped their losing streak that day but crushed the Braves 10-1.

Since Monica and I arrived, the Cubs are 27-13 and have moved into second place and are in the hunt for the NL Central title and the wild card.

You can call this a coincidence if you want, but I think it’s causation we just don’t understand yet. "Coincidentally" the Mariners have been hot since June 2nd as well.
