6/13 Mariners (Batista) v. CUBS (Marshall) WGN 7:05pm CST

Guess we'll see Dempster in the ninth. Not sure why Lou is pinch hitting with his backup catcher though.

 

His other two pinch-hitters are Cesar Izturis and Jacque Jones.

 

So who's our catcher if Hill gets hurt?

 

I'm not exactly sure. Fontenot maybe?

Ah, good call. You're probably right.

the kid can do it all

[TruffleShuffle]

holy crap, iowa down three and down to their last out, hoffpauir singles in patterson and then soto hits a two-run bomb. He's been amazing this year.

 

Iowa is having a great year considering alot of the players are with the Cubs.

 

i'd crap myself if something like that happened to the big club.

[otis89]

Dempster hit 96. :shock:

[SouthSideRyan]

Was trying to catch up on the game thread since I missed most of it while swimming, but I'll participate for hopefully just these 3 outs.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

Ryan Dempster can hit 96 on the gun????!!! :shock:

who the hell does he think he is....justin verlander

[squally1313]

96 mph + good slider instead of flat slider? Yay

[otis89]

Woo! 1 down!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Wow.

[Omar]

Nice K!

[Alfonso Soriano]

Anyone have the Ryan Dumpster picture?

It's not like the Cubs needed a run there. Sure, it would have been nice, but it wasn't necessary. Why not pinch hit Jones or Izturis. Heck, let Z pinch hit for all I care. I just don't think it's smart to use your backup catcher as a pinch hitter unless it's completely necessary. Oh well, it's not likely to come back and hurt us anyway.

[OleMissCub]

Now THAT is what a closer is supposed to throw like.

[soccer10k]

Two more Demp.

[TruffleShuffle]

was that jose guillen or alfonso soriano?

[RichHillIsABeast]

Marshall has been wonderful this season. He really has.

 

Who knows how much of last season was affected by injury. He was great early on.

 

Yeah, Demp!

[B]

Dempster has his good stuff tonight.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That looked awfully good.

[Omar]

I bet Demp was in the RF bleachers yesterday. Thats why he's so pissed at Guillien.
