05/03 CUBS (Dempster) @ Los Angeles (Billingsley), 9:10 WGN

[Tryptamine]

He's completely gassed. This had better be the last batter.

*PHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW*

[Irrelevant Dude]

Let me go on the record and say that I don't agree with leaving Dempster in here.

I am happy to be wrong (although I do think Quade was playing with fire).

 

Nice outing Dempster. Hopefully this gives him some confidence and gets him back on track.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

That a boy Demp!

[Careless]

Hey, I can feel good about a Dempster start. It was only 45 degrees for a high today, so that means this is early April, so everything is good Edited May 4, 2011 by Careless

Dempster gets the ERA down to 8.05 with that outing.

[Cronos006]

There are nice areas around St. Louis and it's not crazy to think people like to live near a small city rather than one of the largest in the world.

 

Preach.

 

Dempster's early start is alarming, but it seems he's been unlucky. I imagine his BABIP is a bit higher than it should be.

 

On referencing fangraphs: .344. That's not as high as I thought it would be.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd he promptly sends Johnson out to PH against a rightie. Brilliant.

[Careless]

Does Coati not understand the concept of splits, or what?

Is Colvin hurt or something?

Shows what you know.

[Sammy Sofa]

Annnnnnnnnnd of course it works out. [expletive] YOU, BALDY.

I'm not even sure Blake Dewitt exists anymore... but hey, it actually worked.

DeWitt got a PH last night.

Is "Coati" the new "Cobs"?

[Sammys Boombox]

First pitch to Barney wasn't even close.

[TruffleShuffle]

not sure i'm a fan of giving the other team an out with a guy whose obp is almost .500

[Irrelevant Dude]

First pitch to Barney wasn't even close.

It was the old Glavine strike zone.

[Tryptamine]

Nice fundamentals Reed....

[Illini Iceman]

Gritty

[Irrelevant Dude]

Reed Johnson just isn't talented enough to be that dumb.

[Guest]

Nice job, Reed.

[Sammys Boombox]

The strike zones the last week or so across MLB have been horrible.

 

And Reed Johnson makes another stupid out at third...

[Tryptamine]

Reed Johnson just isn't talented enough to be that dumb.

 

With Theriot gone someone has to do it.

[Illini Iceman]

Go ahead and steal here - worst case you have Castro leading off next inning.
