[Schwarber Fan]

I'm not worried at all

[illiniguy]

Sigh.

[bcruise]

Looks like we gotta come back again.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have only thrown out 1 runner trying to steal in their last 22 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[XZero771679666304]

LOL

 

 

walk the guy with a sub-.300 OBP and no homers to set up a 2-run jack for the other guy with a sub .300 OBP and no homers.

 

Nice.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-8 when they score first in the game.... 11-13 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ArthurVandalay]

Ballgame.

 

Cute.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Noodle arm strikes again.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taveras grounded an IF single to shortstop

[illiniguy]

LOL

Nice.

Dempster would walk the lineup if they would let him.

Go CUBS !!

 

How many SB have there been? I can remember 2-3 that were bad calls.

[cheapseats]

Replay shows he was out.

 

That's a harsh WP.

 

And it doesn't matter, 2-run homer.

 

Yep, he was out.

[Sammy Sofa]

LOL

I've been very impressed with Dempster this year, but he's been giving up way too many walks (and a lot of them to crappy teams/batters) all season for it to not eventually bite him hard.

[XZero771679666304]

Noodle arm strikes again.

 

I love it when Cedeno is in the lineup and Theriot still plays SS.

 

I'm pretty sure I could get it across the diamond better than Ryan.

[illiniguy]

He has been ok, but if we get to the playoffs and are using him in the rotation we will be in trouble.

In terms of runs allowed, I'd call him "okay."

He can't throw stirkes, a good team. I.E. one that made the playoffs should be able to exploit that.

That depends on which Dempster shows up on a given day. It's not like he's a smoke and mirrors guy, his stuff is good enough to shut the opposition down provided he is commanding it well.

 

The problem is that varies from inning to inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome singled to left field

I meant compared to what most of us expected. I thought he would have crapped out completely by now.

[Schwarber Fan]

Rusch's got nothing

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa lined out to first base
