Good Dempster, plz

[SouthSideRyan]

Let's go Demp.

[C.C.]

Oh man. How about a 123 with no drama.

[TruffleShuffle]

solid night for soriano

[ElectricJ]

Good call, EJ. Dammit :x

[Vanilla Ice]

When he slumps, he slumps extremely badly.

[BCVM22]

Oh man. How about a 123 with no drama.

 

Are you watching the same ballgame?

[Vanilla Ice]

Good Dempster, plz

 

I am still thinking that Eyre will get the ball at least to start the ninth inning.

[inari]

Oh man. How about a 123 with no drama.

 

Are you watching the same team?

[CubmanPi]

I call a Cubs win with the tying run stranded in scoring position.

[Derwood]

solid night for soriano

 

as Joe Morgan would say, "he was consistent"

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lets hope for some reDEMPtion.

[Derwood]

Good Dempster, plz

 

I am still thinking that Eyre will get the ball at least to start the ninth inning.

 

 

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ. thanks for playing :)

[weatherdood]

Good Dempster, plz

Eyre spent the entire top of the inning looking through the out of town scoreboard. He didn't even get up

[chuckywang]

Anybody as nervous as me?

[ElectricJ]

Here we go, redempster time. Finish these chumleys

[BigSlick]

In what universe is it a good decision to put Dempster in here after he goes 2 harsh innings last night?

 

God damnit, Lou, no one cares about how many saves he gets, just wint he damn game and keep everyone healthy.

[weatherdood]

Oh, wow

[Vanilla Ice]

Good Dempster, plz

 

I am still thinking that Eyre will get the ball at least to start the ninth inning.

 

Oops, I guess you were right. Lou relies on just three relievers way too much. If we can make the playoffs we might be ok like this with all the off days. But, the whole month of September?

[CubmanPi]

solid night for soriano

 

as Joe Morgan would say, "he was consistent"

 

Consistency is important. Those of us stat geeks trying to play a video game from home with no big league experience wouldn't know that, but consistency was definitely one of the positives Soriano brought to the table tonight.

[Derwood]

wow

[BCVM22]

Aaaaaare you serious?

[SouthSideRyan]

That was absurd.
