Demp will do well. He's got a score to settle. Still, we should score more than 2 RUNS OFF OF WOODY FREAKIN WILLIAMS.

Barrett and Z hug... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

aww the brothers sharing a hug in the dugout...

[Roast]

Awh Z and Barrett Hugged :-)

[Brian]

awwww Z and Barrett hugging

[sweetpeteman]

Ok Sori, time to hit.

[Roast]

STOP SAYING THAT.

[Omar]

BOOOO.

[Iceblink]

Sori needs to hit a homer. If he doesn't, F-you Renteria.

 

Dammit.

 

F-you, Renteria.

[PrimeTime]

Time to go get the bottle of Jager.

So does Lou put Dempster right back out there tonight?

 

I don't see any reason why he wouldn't. It's the pattern of his whole season-1 terrible outing followed by several good outings. He hasn't given up runs in consecutive outings yet this season (and I certainly hope he doesn't start now!).

[E.J.]

So does Lou put Dempster right back out there tonight?

 

Should we stop using a quality closer because of his second blown save of the season?

 

Do you feel comfortable with Dempster as closer?

[ctcf]

I can't see why you would use someone besides Dempster in this situation.

[Brian]

geez no breaks :(

 

 

here we go

[squally1313]

Two outfielders who weigh a combined 600 pounds make two pretty impressive plays. Also, Bob just said that god-awful phrase again. This does not bode well.

[da bears]

Ugh, would be nice to see some teams not making plays like that against the Cubs.

[rawaction]

WOO! Carlos over 116 pitches for the 6th time in his last 7 starts, now when he gives up 6 runs in 3 innings vs the Padres this weekend everyone will wonder why he sucks again.

[C.C.]

O'kay can't watch....Be back in a few...

So who should he go with?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

you're really screwed when Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman make good defensive plays
