6/11 Braves (Bennett) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 ESPN & WGN 720

[Soul]

1st CG all year for the Cubs?

[Outshined_One]

Bob Brenly just channeled Steve Stone.

 

Lou better take Dempster out at 90 pitches in his next start.

[AlwaysaCub]

NO WALKS for Dempster to go with 11 strikeouts. Impressive.

[CubmanPi]

CUBS WIN! Lou is still stupid, but CUBS WIN!!

[Ski]

CUBS WIN!

[CyHawk_Cub]

CUBS WIN! Lou is still stupid, but CUBS WIN!!

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

119 pitches...way to go morans....

[rookiecmon]

CUBS WIN!!! Go Cubs!!~~~~

[Electron Blue]

We can be annoyed by the negative circumstances all we want . . .

 

but gems like that, especially the rare CG, are cool. Great job, Demp.

I think those are real...................

 

Of course they are.

 

I don't mind if this one gets quoted a few more times.

just bumping that pic again...

[Bruno7481]

he Cubs run differential is +101

[TruffleShuffle]

meh whatever... lou does a pretty good job of controlling pitch counts, and all pitchers want to get the CG if it's within reach. 119 is not a huge number of pitches.

 

color me stunned by dempster's performance so far.

His ERA+ was 152 before tonight's start.

 

It will now be even higher.

 

Color me stunned as well. In a very, very good way.

Ughhh my roommate who is a Cardnials fan just came home and I told him about Soriano's injury which he celebrated by pumping his fist and saying "YESSSSSSSS"

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I now feel bad that I made this last year...

I have a bad feeling we're going to be seeing a whole lot of Fontenot in the near future.

Pee in his shampoo bottle when he goes to bed.

Does he remember how the Cubs did earlier this year with Sori on the DL? Not saying the Cubs are a better team without him, just saying that there are up to 8 guys who have been more important than he has so far this season.

[CubmanPi]

Hoff is eligible to come back Friday right? and Thursday is an off day, right? I have a feeling there will be a roster move and Fontenot's playing time will only see a marginal increase.

That was also when Soriano was hitting below the Mendoza line.

Hoff can be brought up tomorrow now because Soriano will head to the DL.

I hope so. We'll see, I guess.

Nope, we finish the series against the Braves tomorrow afternoon.

 

I expect to see Johnson in LF and Edmonds in CF. Yuck. Like someone else mentioned, the most logical thing to do would be having Cedeno play at second while DeRosa goes to LF.

Lou did mention bringing up a couple of "kids" from Iowa to Erin Andrews after the game.
