Cubs absorb day off after losing series to Red Sox

The franchise has much to think about going through woes again (injuries). They haven't put out the scores the fans have wanted for a while. The numbers are definitely not there. So far the Cubs have staked claim to a 20-25 record overall. That's not what they need. The focus should be far greater. The middle of the lineup is expected to produce. With Carlos Pena slumping plus Alfonso Soriano taking a drop the younger guys aren't sure what to do yet. Expect the lineup to do better in the coming days as they take on a challenge in the Mets heading back to Chicago.
