GAME OVER

 

 

Dempster coming in for the bottom of the 9th.

 

When's the last time Cubs fans felt like that? :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

I can't believe we finally have a decent third baseman.

 

I can't believe some folks on this board were questioning his ability earlier in the year.

 

I was questioning him since he had one more year before he could hit true FA, but he has been absolutely amazing since May. His OPS is approaching .950 (might actually be there since I haven't calculated it, but he came into tonight's game at .936) and 2 HR's, a double, and a walk will certainly help that :D

 

I'm unspeakably glad I was wrong.

This is why Dempster needed work. He's rusty as hell.

Makes you wonder what could have happened if he had been the closer for the games that Hawkins blew.

 

I'd better stop thinking about that. I'm getting pretty mad.
