What's the corresponding move with Dempster coming off the DL?

would assume wells back to iowa

[CUBZ99]

Hoping that Dempster can keep up his momentum and build up some trade value.

If it's anything else, there's no justice in the world.

Would really like to see good ole Tony in the leadoff spot today, has there ever been a more prototypical leadoff guy for us as of late?

Not if he keeps hitting .355 (thus managing a .394 OBP).

 

 

Unfortunately, that's not very likely to happen.

Homer Bailey sucks and I want to punch his face.

 

Demp's peripherals are awesome. We should win this game convincingly.

Smardz, Garza, and Demp all have really sexy peripherals. :-)

Tired of these low scoring games. I want the Cubs to blow someone out.

Castro with a bomb to center

[El Duderino]

all your babip are belong to lahair

[bukie]

The line drive rate on LaHair is very good.

Reed Johnson is my least favorite cub. I don't guess it's anything personal, he just doesn't serve a purpose.

[weis21]

I'm hoping I just reverse-jinxed Johnson.

His purpose is to be expendable when Brett Jackson is ready.

I had kinda hoping they would dump Soriano's corpse by that point. I'd like to see Sappelt get some playing time in LF.

[bukie]

Stewart just decides to try doing exactly what LaHair is doing. And it works! Line drive hit to center.
