7/2 Cubs (Dempster) vs. Brewers (McClung) 7:05CT CSN

[Tryptamine]

Uh oh, "that" Dempster has suddenly emerged.

[UMFan83]

is this the funnest game of the year (so far)? I guess the string of walk offs can compete, but so far this has been fun throughout, not just the last innings.

 

Yes it has, especially so because this is a huge game and we all expected to probably be in a tense battle tonight and its turned into hopefully a laugher.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Counsell walked , Smith to second

[E.J.]

Jesus. Throw strikes. You have a 7 run lead for crying out loud.

[Keener98]

Now boo you damn morons. Come on Demp for fucks sake

[Cubswin11]

:banghead:

[JonJayCutler]

This game is not over, regardless of how bad we want it to be.

[illiniguy]

Uh oh, "that" Dempster has suddenly emerged.

Of course he can't just come out and throw strikes. I really wish we would have signed Derek Lowe.

It's on the 5th inning and we're the Cubs. It's still tense for me.

Nice rebound, Demp.

CUBS are 32-14 when they get at least 8 hits .... 5-24 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[hossdriver]

Not to be a downer, but all but 1 of the 13 run scored in the last two wins have come via the longball...

 

I like the power surge, but I'd also like to see some 'situational' hitting as well...

Of course he can't just come out and throw strikes. I really wish we would have signed Derek Lowe.

 

Lowe's walked 3.1/9 this season and is striking out nobody.

 

He's also 4 years older than Dempster.

 

He's also making 2M more per season.

Burn him?
