6/22 Cubs(Dempster) @ Mariners(Vargas) 9:10 CDT, CLTV

[Little Slide Rooter]

When was the last time that the Cubs were shut out in a 3 game series, because with Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez coming up, it wouldnt shock me if it happened here. The we go to the South Side to face Peavy who will shut us down, Freddy Garcia, who we may or may not be able to score 2 or 3 runs off and then John Danks who weve never been able to hit. It should be a fun week of Cubs baseball, hopefully ending in Lous resignation.

 

I know man, and then we face this pitcher with an arm, and he may shut us down, or he may not. Then, believe it or not we face another pitcher with an arm, and he may or may not shut us down. I mean [expletive], why are we facing all these pitchers? [expletive]

 

Hey, you were the one who made the comment about being shut out after scoring 12 runs as if its some kind of mind blowing oddity.

 

Wtf are you talking about? All I said is anyone actually surprised they got shut out, and then you said something about it "getting you" when people act surprised, which NOBODY did.

 

Then I apologize. calm down.

What does Dempster's contract look like? He's got 2 years left after this season, right? Something like $12 million a year? This is his 3rd season straight where he's looked very impressive as a starter. I'd have to think he'd be appealing to contending teams in a trade even with 2 years left on his deal.

 

Demp as a starter from 2008 on:

Possibly but there is probably a pretty good collection of starters out there for trades this deadline, headlined by Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt. I'm not saying it can't happen, but there are better options out there for good teams, lowering our leverage a bit.

 

12.5 in 2010, 13.5 in 2011 and a 14 mil player option that he'll be sure to excersise in 2010. I dont know how good the deal really looks with Oswalt, Lee, and Haren potentially avalaible.

Whos not calm?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Whos not calm?

 

nobody, apparently. My point is, that after a big scoring game, and then a low scoring game, some people are surprised. Not necessarily you. not even anyone on the board, but youve never heard anyone surprised by a team scoring big one game and then not being able to do [expletive] the next?

Is giving up 2 runs to Seattle all that terrific?

[haubrich91]

They scored on a home run. So yeah, it was pretty good IMO.

Giving up a HR to Seattle is pretty bad.
