8/23 Nationals (Perez) @ Cubs (Dempster) - 12:05 CSN Chicago

[Guancous]

Ryan Freaking Dempster people, wow. With every start he makes, the dollars just keep rising and rising.

 

His season reminds me of Carl Pavano in 1998. I hope the rest of his career fares better.

[CubsBears29]

I hate to bag on Geo, but currently, he ain't much better at the plate than Kosuck.

 

Shake it off, Soto, just a bad stretch!

[Keener98]

That sounded like some good pitching by Dempster.

 

 

Good isnt the proper adjective to describe his pitching right now, or this year. If he throws strikes, he is damn near unhittable right now.

Ward in at first base for the CUBS

I hate to bag on Geo, but currently, he ain't much better at the plate than Kosuck.

 

Shake it off, Soto, just a bad stretch!

 

Yeah, that's just not true.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Belliard grounded out to short, 6-3

[Keener98]

Lee tweaked something on that last K. Lets hope its not serious, because unlike what people hear would like you to believe, he would be hard to replace.

[bcruise]

Ward in at first base for the CUBS

Something Lee did during that last strikeout?

[Brian]

I hate to bag on Geo, but currently, he ain't much better at the plate than Kosuck.

 

Shake it off, Soto, just a bad stretch!

 

Yeah, that's just not true.

 

 

yeah, I don't know the exact numbers. But I just looked and he's getting his hits over the last 10 games.

Shake it off, Soto, just a bad stretch!

 

Hank will start tomorrow

[bukie]

I hate to bag on Geo, but currently, he ain't much better at the plate than Kosuck.

 

Shake it off, Soto, just a bad stretch!

 

Yeah, that's just not true.

 

Unless he's just taking a sample size of, oh, the last inning or so.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hoffpauir, table for 1.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

DeRo says keep bitching about the teams lack of power people please

 

The Cubs have the perfect balance of power and the ability to manufacture runs. It's probably the best mix on offense I have ever seen on a Cubs team.

 

They can club you with the home run or single and double you to death. Pick your posion.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Flores flied out to right field

[Keener98]

Ward in at first base for the CUBS

Something Lee did during that last strikeout?

 

Yea he grimaced on that last K, but I hope him coming back out to the field the next inning means this is precautionary.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kearns doubled to left center field

[Mizzou]

DeRo with 4 fewer HR's than Aramis. Incredible.

[beersoakedivy]

Lee to the 15 day DL Micah up

[Fred Hornkohl]

A Hernandez singled to center field , Kearns scored

[Brian]

yeah unless my quick math is way off, Geo is hitting .370 over his last 10 games (not including today) with 10 BB

[Keener98]

Lee to the 15 day DL Micah up

 

Lets hope not

[Fred Hornkohl]

Langerhans, pinch hitting for Mock, grounded an IF single to the pitcher , A Hernandez to third

[Outshined_One]

That was fairly questionable on everyone's part there.

[third eye]

Lee tweaked something on that last K. Lets hope its not serious, because unlike what people hear would like you to believe, he would be hard to replace.

 

 

Len was saying he may have tweaked something in his shoulder, which has given him some problems over the last few years. I hadn't heard too much about that, but I wonder if it's been a lingering problem the last couple of months. May be an explanation for his inability to get loft on the ball? If so, a little rest to let the shoulder recover would be a good thing.
