The Kansas City Royals, who can't find their way around the bases without a map, swept the Yankees in a three-game series this week. It's only the third time in the Yankees history that they have suffered a sweep at the hands of the worst team in baseball.
The Yankees had gotten off to a horrible start and were even in last place for a while, but it looked like things had turned around with a ten-game winning streak last month. However, now they've lost five in a row and actually have a worse record than the Cubs.
Speaking of the Cubs, they are still looking for their first loss since Mark Prior took a liner off the elbow. But because they are guys, they aren't having much luck finding it. Mostly, they stand around in the middle of the locker room, looking around, and asking each other, "Have you seen that loss anywhere?"
Derrek Lee, who was off to a fast start anyway, is white hot. He has eight straight hits and is 11 for his last 13. Almost every good thing the Cubs have done this year is because of Lee.
The current seven-game streak has the Cubs four games above .500, but they are still 5.5 games back of the Cards.
