The video of the rain tormenting the grounds crew, the tarp, and the ump is hilarious. Wasn’t so funny to Stras who practically threw the resin bag at the ump before he called the rain delay.

Start #1: Allows just one hit over the first seven innings; gives up a 1-out single in the eighth and leaves with two outs and the runner still on first, Cubs leading the Nationals 1-0. The runner comes around to score on a bases-loaded walk and the bullpen gives up another run in the ninth to lose 2-1. Dempster ERA: 1.17
Start #2: Worst start of the year, giving up a two-run homer in the seventh inning that gives the Brewers a 2-1 lead over the Cubs, which would be the final score. Dempster’s ERA is up to 1.88 and he’s now 0-1.
Start #3: ERA drops to 1.33, but Dempster actually is at fault for the 2 runs allowed in 6 innings as the error that made the runs unearned was his own. At the time it gives the Marlins a 2-1 lead, but when Dempster leaves the game after six innings, the score is tied 2-2 and Dempster gets another no-decision; the Marlins scored 3 in the eighth to win it.
Start #4: Best start yet–8 innings, just 3 hits and 1 walk, and no runs allowed, not even unearned ones. And the Cubs have given him his most run support of the season as they lead 3-0. Surely he’s about to get his first win of the season, right? Nope; Marmol melts down, walking the first two batters he faces before this play-by-play oddity: “B Phillips grounded into fielder’s choice to left, W Harris scored on error by third baseman I Stewart, J Votto to second.” Apparently the official scorer’s ruling was that the Cubs actually had a shot at the rare 7-5 putout. Marmol then allows a single before walking in a second run and is promptly relieved; Dolis induced the first batter he faced to ground into a double play but the tying run scored in the process, and the Reds won it in 10 innings. Dempster ERA: 0.88
Start #5: 1 run allowed over 7 innings, brings his ERA up to 1.02. Score tied 1-1 when he left; Wood allowed two runs in the eighth inning to give the Braves a 3-1 win.

So there it is. 5 starts, no more than 2 runs allowed in any of them, only left the game with the Cubs trailing in 1 of the 5 games (though the score was tied in two of them), and the bullpen blew the game every time he left not trailing, while the offense has given him just 8 runs of support and has not scored a single run in support of those who relieve him.
