7/8 Cubs (Dempster) @ Mets (Niese) 12:10 CSN

[Sosa21MVP]

I remembered! Almost too late, lol.

Even though that was an out, Anthony Rizzo just took an 0-2 offspeed pitch on the outside corner and hit it about 350 feet. Incredible.

Yeah the ball just explodes off his bat.

[Sosa21MVP]

Hit parade! 4 runs, 5 hits, 1 out. \:D/

Thanks. I liked him; he seemed pretty knowledgable despite not telling me anything I didn't already know

[El Duderino]

so small, so nervous

[KaiserCesar]

Great outing for Dempster so far, I figure he gets another inning since he's at 65 pitches right now.

[Magnetic Curses]

how has this hairlip been shutting us down?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Dempster goes into the break with a 1.99 ERA.

Dempster goes into the break with a 1.99 ERA.

The question now is who he is pitching for after the break. I lack any inside information, but I gotta believe there were plenty of scouts in the stands today and I'm not sure what else they would need to see. If I'm in a pennant race, the 3-4 extra starts I can get out of Dempster by trading for him now rather than waiting for the 31st are extremely important.

Starlin!

[JockJones]

YES Starlin.

[Guest]

That ball was CRUSHED

[El Duderino]

Yeah, that was great to see.

[tgkimmel]

Any way we can end this with a 1-2-3 inning from Marmol?

[cubbyvirus00]

Hooray for trade value!

[Careless]

Barney just struck out on a pitch that hit him in the thigh.

 

And note the father holding his son back so that ball could be caught.

I knew Shawn Camp was pitching well this year, but I didn't realize it was 2.86 ERA good.

[Guest]

CUBS WIN! That's nine wins out of 13 heading into the break.

Yeah, they're not as historically awful as some were saying.

[MWV]

Considering that the cubs were 10-10 during a span in which Dempster was on the DL and Garza pitched to a 5.24 ERA, there is a chance they might not be completely awful if/when those two are gone.

More importantly, Dempster has a sub 2.00. Must...move...soon.

[DiamondMind]

Not a half bad way to go into the break. Second half should be fun, with the inevitable trades, full time Rizzo, maybe some scattered call ups too with the Jacksons and/or Vitt?
