Mayday!

The Cubs have resumed playing like they did in May, finding spectacular ways to lose.

In the last 24 hours, Ryan Dempster has two losses from allowing five 11th-inning runs. In the insult-to-injury department, Dusty Baker let Dempster bat for himself in the top half of the 11th today with two out and two on (he struck out) before giving up three in the bottom half for the L.

Swept by the Pirates... ugh... if there's any consolation, perhaps the worst record in the National League will be sufficient to bring some changes to town for 2007. They still hold a 1-1/2 game advantage over Pittsburgh after the sweep, six ahead of the Royals.
