Pretty much had that feeling once Wood was in that he was gonna blow it. They just need to cut ties with him already. they're paying him to be team mascot.

Is there a downpour heading our way that I'm not aware of?

 

Yes. It's called the back end of the Braves bullpen. Rumor had it it's pretty awesome.

 

Was it awesome last night when we tacked on 4 insurance runs?

[Schwarber Fan]

Poor Dempster...how can someone have a 1.02 ERA in 6 starts and be 0-1 during the span?

 

He'll reap the benefits when he's pitching for a contender in August... just sad this is how his Cub career is ending

 

lol @ Soriano

He can still be the team mascot and not pitch in the 8th inning of tied ballgames.

I thought reed johnson was the team mascot?

OK 3 insurance runs

Oh well. Win tomorrow and all is good.

[Rizzo Smash]

The two guys who were supposed to be our our 2 best relievers going into the year now are the only ones giving up runs and losing games for us.

[PrimeTime]

Wish we had power arm like Kimbrel closing games for us.

And they throw strikes too...

 

Back to the Rangers again... Ogando and Adams

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm talking O'Flaherty-Venters-Kimbrel. We didn't score 3 runs off them last night, though we did get 1 off O'Flaherty. I think I enjoyed last nights game more than this evenings.

Punk is damn good, but I don't want to see him and Cena again. My guess is Punk and Bryan give us the best match we've see since Shawn and Bret. Edited May 9, 2012 by davell

Cubs are 0-5 when Dempster starts

Cubs are 12-13 when anyone else starts

 

Clearly Dempster is the problem here.

[expletive], so if we got some combination of run support and non awful relief pitching in a few of Dempsters gems we'd be above .500.

[davell]

Go on a little win streak and it makes me think we've got a chance for some reason. That said, since it's obviously unlikely as hell this team makes a run, at least Dempster has pitched his ass off bigtime. He could very well bring us back a very solid return.

Caveat: I was taking that to mean "best" as in good as opposed to "technical best in a shitty bullpen (which still would have been a shaky declaration)."

[davell]

But Athlon had it right. They said Marmol was worth 9 bucks and Wood was worth 2. They literally stumbled uponit. But they nailed it nonetheless. Actually, Marmol may only be worth 3.50. Pretty sure both of them see the Loch Ness Monster everytime their name is called though, so they've got that going for them.

Kerry Wood postgame ends 50 seconds in, when reporter mentions glove: “Irrelevant, dude, and why the (bleep) would you even bring that up?”
