So the Kerry Wood Cards game was the only time we lost one? Is that right?

 

No, that game was tied at the end of the 7th inning.

[BCVM22]

All aboard the Dempster train!

[Rumbach]

A CG-SHO from Dempster would do wonders for my fantasy team.

And long overdue.

[Brian]

demp for the 9th on a 1 base runner and you're hooked leash?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 50-4 when they lead at the end of 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Mizzou]

I'm pretty much always for letting a guy try and finish a shutout, unless his pitch count is really high. Which Dempster's is not.

That new stache by Reed belongs in a gay biker bar.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto grounded to third base , safe on a fielding error, E5, DeRosa holding second
