Re: 04/09 CUBS (Dempster) @ Pittsburgh (Duke) 6:05pm, CSN+

[Roast]

Am I right that Reed has been playing a lot because we have been facing a bunch of left handers lately? Same reason Cedeno has been playing, right? Have either faced much right handed pitching in their latest stretch?

I think today is the only lefty we've faced over the stretch that Pie has been benched. Maybe there was one other - but most of them were righties.

[Rob]

Of course. I knew Soriano would start to pick it up when I benched him on my fantasy team.

I can't bring myself to do it because I know when I do he'll have 2 taters and a couple of steals.

 

It's about the Cubs... not about our fantasy teams. It's the same reason I had to trade DLee right before his power came back last season.

 

I'll work on acquiring Aramis, and then bench him too. My team's bench should be full of raking Cubs.

Aram pops foul to right. Nice sliding catch by Nady.

I love that the commercials on MOJO are muted for some reason. It's like a dream come true.

That's a lot clearer than my little radio but i can't deal with the 5 to 10 second delay.

 

I need my cubs NOW.

We also faced a lefty on Monday. Johnson started against Oswalt and Backe, though.

Is that site legal? Why hasn't MLB shut it down yet?

[erik316wttn]

Duke flies to left. 1 down

They will make sure those sites that stream during games stop. A lot of those radio sites stream early in the season and then MLB cracks down on them.

Who cares?

[TakeMeOutToTheBallGame]

does that person behind home really have to hold that pirates flag up the whole game? was the 4 hour 47 min game monday not enough?

[erik316wttn]

McLouth flies to left. 2 out.

[gflore34]

Is just me or has Aram missed nearly every hanging slider thus far?

I wonder which team he's rooting for.

[Chocolate Milk]

It's freaking me out.

 

It's also pretty great.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

So, when does the luster come off Dempster's star?

 

or if the Cardinals can get lucky with Todd Freaking Wellemyer, maybe we can with Ryan Dempster.

[PrimeTime]

Wow..Look at Demp :shock:

[erik316wttn]

Sanchez K's, Soto dropped strike 3, but they got the out at 1st. Inning over. Demp looking sharp.

[ChiCubsFan]

Dempster is dealin.

Wellemeyer will tank eventually. Dempster is the odds on favorite for Cy young. I ran the numbers.

[Flames24Rulz]

Whoa, Dempster is dealing. 47 pitches through 3.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Damn, Dempster is like, good.

[TruffleShuffle]

i think pat and ron are bored with this game already, they're talking about clouds & cotton candy

[Andy]

So, when does the luster come off Dempster's star?

 

or if the Cardinals can get lucky with every pitcher in their rotation, maybe we can with Ryan Dempster.

Fixed...Dempster looking really freaking good tonight.
