OK Demp, you just have to keep telling yourself you're not Jason Marquis.

Odalis' WHIP is about 4 right now.

 

nah.... it's only 3.25 !

 

When I said it he had given up 4 BBs and 9 hits in 3 1/3. 3.90 WHIP :P

[CubsBears29]

OK Demp, you just have to keep telling yourself you're not Jason Marquis.

 

And Neal Cotts! ... and Bob Howry ....... and Dan Gaudin.

[Hall7810]

Dan Gaudin is my favorite Cub.

yeah... but when I answered you...... oh, skip it !

[rawaction]

OK Demp, you just have to keep telling yourself you're not Jason Marquis.

 

And Neal Cotts! ... and Bob Howry ....... and Dan Gaudin.

 

Or Dan's Brother Chad.

[CubsBears29]

Ugh.

 

Len: "Ryan Dempster has pitched very well today."

 

Yeah, well so did Marquis yesterday before he imploded in the 6th!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kearns grounded out to third, 5-3

[Outshined_One]

Dan Gaudin is my favorite Cub.

 

He's Chad Gaudin's good twin.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

I don't look at Wood as unexpected production. He's been healthy and I always felt he could be a great closer once he got comfortable in the role. Now, Edmonds, Johnson, Theriot, Soto and Demp? That another story. I thought Soto would be good, not this good. I am more impressed with how he has handled our staff.

 

As I type this, Aramis with another gem at 3rd base. He needs to get gold glove consideration this year.

Off-topic: Hey rawaction, did you hear the actor who played Shonuf died? I'm not sure if that's why you made him your avatar.

[Fred Hornkohl]

A Hernandez lined out to second base

Yeah, him too.

 

Dan Go-Dan just fits together better than Chad Go-Dan.

If he pitched yesterday, wouldn't he be Chad's evil twin? :-"

[Andy]

Health.

He's missed like a month of the season on and off.

I agree, we all know what type of production Wood give with health but you have to admit his health would be considered a bonus thus far.

 

If that Baseball America tools thing is an indication, the managers consider him the second best glove in the NL at third behind only Wright.

[CubsBears29]

Kosuck strikes again.

 

Hernandez (& Belliard?) let him get on base there.

Kouske gets lucky

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome grounded to shortstop , safe at first on a throwing error, E6
