09/05 Pittsburgh (Santos) @ CUBS (Mateo) 7:05 CDT, WCIU TV

[Laura]

What do you think the cause of the attendance dropoff is? Last few weekday home games:

 

37,994

38,582

39,464

39,470

 

Now 31,000 tonight

 

Who were the opponents for the other games? And were any of those night games? Those are two factors that come immediately to mind.

 

Iffy weather tonight, too.

 

General malaise no doubt a contributing factor.

[ToupeeOnFire]

This is where Dempster blows it.

[RegulusBlue]

*Jealous*

 

I'm going to rub this in a little just to tell everyone that they should really try and meet Matt. He's a great guy and gave everyone the time of day. He was out there signing stuff forever. Watch out for this young guy, he's got alot more to show us, and he's extremely likeable.

 

Oh yeah, I hope Dempster blows this, but I doubt he needs any cajoling.

[Brian]

Neifi for closer.

[Chris]

granny time

[Brian]

sweet wild pitch loss

[Jim Ignatowski]

Have we balked in the winning run this year?

[Chris]

Obviously whatever uncle Larry told Depster worked

[sethuel1]

Good thing we can bring Mabry off the bench to tie it in the bottom of the inning.

[Balsa]

Well the conditions are ripe.

 

Xavier Nady, Cubs killer is up. And dempster is making it interesting as usual.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Dempster staring at his 8th loss of the year.

 

We've got him for 2 more years at closer money. Yay.

[vj9999]

Dempster was good tonight. Only allowed one run. Pathetic.

and only one hit.

[Jim Ignatowski]

At least the few "fans" left have good lungs.

 

Booooooooooooooooooooooooo Coooooooooooooooobbbbbbbbbsss!

[UMFan83]

Whatever is left of the crowd seems hostile and downright violent. Gonna stay tuned to see how this turns out. The Cubs brass attending tonights game will be embarassed. Look fans aren't dumb enough to go to your stupid games anymore.

 

 

Still 2 games left in the series...can't wait to see how that turns out.

[Brian]

2 to go

[JonnyRed]

Wow, just when you don't think there's another way the Cubs and Dempster can blow a game, you have tonight's ballgame. Mix one infield single with two walks and two wild pitches and you have LAST PLACE! Woo frickin Ronnie Woo Woo...

[synergy]

yea where are all the moron Cubs fans who wanted Dempster to close this year. He should not have been brought back for that number of years and that much money. pathetic closer.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Too bad there are not enough fans in the bleachers to give the outfield the full litter treatment it deserves.

isn't empty bleachers better, The Cubs/Tribune got $$ for most of that trash thrown on the field.

[JonnyRed]

Can we cut Dempster loose right now. At least it would make us feel better. This guy is worse than Rusch right now...

 

At least the Sox lost tonight!

[ToupeeOnFire]

On the plus side, not only do they take sole possesion of last place, but they've also gained a game on the Royals.

[Brian]

1 more to go

[coldsteel]
