Cubs

On a rainy day in Pittsburgh, the Pirates swept the Cubs, who dropped their fourth straight game. Starlin Castro had two hits in the loss, which was delayed almost two hours by rain.
Some stats indicate the Cubs should have a better record than their 18-27 start, but Dale Sveum and Co. know there's no quick fixes. Top prospects like Javier Baez are still years away from "The Show."
The Cubs are finally getting to see what an improved Jeff Samardzija and healthy Matt Garza can do together, but now the question lingers: How long will it last?
