Were all three games Dempster's fault? Depends on your definition of fault. I wouldn't say last night's game was Dempster's fault, but he did take a loss. I was just wondering. Also, we did not lead after 8 innings yesterday. The Dodgers game was his fault though. The 3 games are one against the Pirates where Dempster gave up 1 in the 9th, Cubs wound up losing in extras. The meltdown game against the Mets in a non-save situation, and the game against the Dodgers.
