I love you Dempster

[Rob]

On the plus side of things, Dempster is looking real solid.

[E.J.]

Murton, Izturis, Theriot. Ugh.

[Andy]

Give him the Stomach Acid Award now

[Vinestal]

nice, Dempster looked good in that inning other than the almost HR to the first batter.

predicition on the number of pitches it takes wheeler to shut it down?

Not with the Izzy channeling the spirit of Jack Cust for the last month.

I'm not ready to call the bullpen bad just yet. It's still early..I think our bullpen will be fine.

 

I agree, it's just frustrating. This could be the second loss directly attributed to bad bullpen pitching.

Listen up, boys. You've got a bunch of folks who are freezing their pirogies off out there to see you win. Now get some dag-burn runs and win this blippity-blap game already.

 

Let's Go Cubs!!!

[Brian]

[BigSlick]

The Astros could use another lefty. Let's trade them Eyre for Lidge.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Take until you get 2 strikes.

[Brian]

3-0

[soccer10k]

Boy a walkoff would sure be great for the 2007 home opener wouldn't it.

 

But unfortunately it's the Cubs so it won't happen.

Kudos to the blippity-blap

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Make him throw strikes.

[BigSlick]

double please

 

Single or walk will just end with a double play from Izturis anyway.

[Andy]

Geez. That's no good. 20 games, 0 runs against the Cubs for Wheeler's career
