Cubs streaking into London series

As the Cubs pack their bags for London, Brett, Patrick and Sahadev put the club's recent hot streak into perspective. Are they buyers or holders? Is this series against the Cardinals in a foreign country coming at the worst possible time? Are their benefits to the extra time off and travel? Could a 2-game sweep spark the Cubs into real playoff contender status?
