Give up? Not without a fight.

The Pirates today failed to score the winning run after loading the bases with nobody out in the ninth in a tie game with the Diamondbacks today. Arizona went on to score in the 11th and, as of moments ago, walked away with the win. Ex-Cub Jeromy Burnitz, who had tied the score in the 8th, struck out to end it.

The significance? A Pirate win and a Cub loss tonight in Cleveland would have put the two teams in a tie for last place.

In case you were wondering what kind of results from a $95 million roster justify massive changes throughout the organization, well, keep wondering. The third-worst record in baseball apparently isn't enough.

--The Cubs have the third worst record in baseball.
--Kerry "Bustout" Wood is done for the season.
--The Pirates have lost six in a row and are still only two games behind the Cubs.

Bottom Line: The Cubs suck ass. Back up the truck.
