4/3 Brewers (Bush) vs Losers (Dempster) 1:20 pm WGN-WGN 720

Is soriano old enough to trade to the giants? Cain and Zito sounds fair to me.

 

ZITO? Oh hell no.

[CubmanPi]

At least this time when I leave for work, the Cubs have made me feel like there's a chance I might miss something.

 

Just win, retards.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Exhibit A of how Theriot hurts with the glove without committing an error.

Is there anything Dempster CAN do?

 

 

I bet he can make a killer balloon animal

 

He does a decent Harry Caray

Is there anything Dempster CAN do?

He can strike out when trying to bunt. He can allow the first two runners of the game to score. He can make jokes. He can convince Lou to start him.

 

Touche.

How many people are there ahead of me in line to ask why Soriano was moved back to leadoff after just two games? His first two AB today have looked no different than those in the 2 hole. Is he privately whining to Lou?

 

If Lou wanted to change the lineup, how about batting Fuk behind Theriot and moving Soriano to 5. Fuk at least has shown the patience and discipline to bat 2nd. Soriano's all-or-nothing approach would fit perfectly behind Ramirez.

He's perfected that art of making millions for doing next to nothing.

Gotta even out the contracts or else i'd do it straight up for cain. Plus i'd take zito over dempster or marquis any day.

Bob, please do not mention Maddux and Dempster in the same sentence ever again.

Well, Soriano and Theriot are hitting 1/2, and Dempster is starting, so you could make a case for putting a check after 7.

[back2backjax]

theriot not catching a shoulder-high throw ... microcosm of opening series.

You forgot one - Give up more Runs than Hits in an Inning. Check

[98navigator]

so dempster can't bunt? yet another reason that starting him is stupid.

 

Dempster can't hold on to a bat while taking practice swings...what makes you think that he can even bunt?

 

Len said Dempster once led the league in sac bunt as a starter. Remember, he hasn't had too many ABs over the last 3-4 years. He'll have to work on the bunting.

[weis21]

I'm beginning to think our pitcher's ability to hold on runners is equal to Kendall's arm strength Edited April 3, 2008 by weis21

I hate when pitchers put that much effort into the guy on 1st when there are two outs and you can end the inning by getting the hitter.

[Butterscup1679666578]

hey nice job dempster. keep it up dbag

[Guest]

Theriot trying to use a diversion to get on base...can't really blame him though. When you can't hit I guess you do whatever you can to get on.

[weis21]

45 seconds later there are two outs.

[Derwood]

how is that lineup flip flop working so far?

[weis21]

Hey cubs, hit the ball 390 feet in another direction.
