Ryan "Jerkface" Dumpster (8-8) ERA = 3.92 (super misleading), WHIP = 1.33, Salary = $13.5 Million (13.4 million too much!!!)

 

 

You suck Dempster!! Go back to Canada (or the Cardinals!!)

I will be busy at work today and will not have time to follow or comment upon the game until this evening, but given the Cubs' current 7 game losing streak, I wish Dempster all the luck he can muster. He will certainly need it.

when did MLB At Bat change. It looks like they are using super nintendo graphics.

[Old Style]

Colvin going deep again, eh?

[Ballgame64]

Two outs and a runner on third and Dempster walks the opposing pitcher on 4 pitches. Unbelievable.

[expletive]

[Tryptamine]

Baker's inability to throw the ball 20 feet accurately leads to 3 runs so far. Every [expletive] game they manage to do something stupid like this.

[Schwarber Fan]

I've had about enough of Jeff Baker.

[JonJayCutler]

Baker should have made a better throw but Dempster walked the pitcher on 4 straight balls. This inning is on him.

And people railed on Theriot for his arm.

Blame Dempster for the double to Hart, not for not getting 4 outs

I think the point is, Baker should not even had to worry about making a play. Retire the damn pitcher and the inning is over. Or at least make the pitcher hit the ball to keep the inning alive.

But Dempster shoudl have been out of the inning. Baker shouldn't have to worry about making a throw to get a guy out? What if Parra hit the ball to Baker?

[Ballgame64]

At least Castro continues to be a bright spot for the Cubs.

[Schwarber Fan]

the combination of players on this team is just bad

 

did anyone think Soriano wasn't going to K there?

Only the Cubs.

[Schwarber Fan]

LOL @ using Ramirez here

 

ridiculous

 

but I guess it doesn't matter.

[Ballgame64]

Cubs rally to take the lead. Stop the presses. It is funny the players not making the big $$$ come through while the two high paid veterans can't.

 

Posted before Ramirez at bat...

[janie]

Wow. Gameday freezes up and when I check it again, it's a miracle.
