Good thing for the Chicago Cubs they say their focus is on the road ahead.Because objects in the rearview are a lot closer than they appear.When struggling Cubs starter Jameson Taillon and beleaguered reliever Michael Fulmer blew the lead in an 8-5 loss to the Reds at Wrigley Field Saturday night, it dumped the Cubs behind both the Reds and Cardinals into last place in the National League Central.So much for $300 million offseasons.“It’s been tough. The results definitely haven’t been great,” said $68 million free agent Taillon, who was talking about the slumping Cubs and their 10-22 slide since a high-water mark of 12-7, but who might as well have been talking about his own 8.04-ERA struggles since signing a four-year contract.Saturday’s instant splat from third to last in the five-team, second-tier division might not spell doom and gloom on Memorial Day weekend in the context of a 2023 season that has four months to go (no matter how much of a case th...
