Who's hot
Mike Piazza: Catching legend finally comes to life with four hits Friday and dramatic three-run homer in ninth yesterday.
Greg Maddux: Pitching legend deserves better, holds Padres to one run in 7 1/3 innings before his bullpen gives it away.
Cubs fans: Their Cubs aren't lovable losers anymore, just losers. The White Sox have become the only game in town.
Who's not
Ryan Dempster: A closer is supposed to close, not blow a 3-1 lead by giving up a three-run homer.
Dusty Baker: Seems to be sleep-walking through Cubs' season. OK, so you lost Derrek Lee to injury. Shake up that lineup.
Cubs fans: Admit it, White Sox fans are smarter than you these days.
Who's consistent
Trevor Hoffman: Give him a save situation, and it's money in the bank. He's got 443 career saves. The record is 478 by Lee Smith.
Who's inconsistent
Khalil Greene: In last three games, he is 1-for-12 with no homers and no RBI. In the three games before that, he was 7-for-11 with two homers and eight RBI.
Who's counting
Padres have won 13 of 14, with just one loss coming in May.
