    I am mildly annoyed by all the reports of teams being interested in Dempster but unwilling to give up top prospects for a "rental player". Yes he may be a rental, but he is a virtually cost-free (assuming the Cubs are picking up the salary) starting pitcher who can plug right in as a #2 starter in almost any rotation. That is a difference-making piece for a playoff team, so they better be willing to give up something more than mid-tier guys.

    Anyone know anything about this guy? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/07/cubs-sign-juan-carlos-paniagua.html

    http://mlb.sbnation.com/2012/7/18/3166679/mlb-draft-lottery-competitive-balance/in/2930718 This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard and that is an impressive feat considering that it had to beat out the All-Star game determining home field advantage.

    Dunn not on deck. What the hell?
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    That's because Furcal knows how to field a knuckleball.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    Kinsler pulled up on purpose there.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    Great commercial. Kerry sure is looking skinny though.

    Dempster goes into the break with a 1.99 ERA.
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Same location 3 times in a row. Why would the 3 one suddenly be a strike?
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    I can't believe he caught that.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    I wish Rizzo would hit a ball hard one of these days.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Has he done anything to indicate otherwise? I imagine he will be a serious non-tender candidate in the offseason.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    He is in the dugout managing tonight. Oops. I caught some dugout shots of McKay and Bosio and incorrectly assumed that Sveum wasn't there.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Where is Sveum tonight?

    I really hope the Cubs can find a taker for Garza, because I sure as hell don't want to give him top of the rotation money.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    I just turned on the game and it is already 4-0. What has Garza done to kill his trade value?

    What are the Cubs realistically going to be able to get for Lahair? I'm starting to think that it better be a pretty good prospect or else there is really no reason to let him go. He is a cheap, team controlled player who provides left handed power and can play multiple positions (albeit not spectacularly). Even if he is not an everyday player, why deal a piece like that unless you are going to get something of real value in return?

    Someone should put him in a room with Bruce Levine, who almost caused me to yell at my radio in the office this morning. He said that A.J. Pierzynski should have made the allstar team over Mauer. When someone mentioned that Mauer has a higher OBP and OPS, Levine responded something to the effect of, "I don't care about those numbers. All that matters is run production." I can't believe he gets paid to spew that information.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Yes.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    This is fun to watch.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Damn, nice play Barney.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    I really wish he would be good again. This lineup would look halfway decent 1 through 5. The same can't be said with Reed Johnson in the 5 hole.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Does he also have broad shoulders?
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Textbook bunting.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    And who takes his rotation spot (assuming Dempster is gone soon after coming off the DL). Volstad? I just threw up a little bit.
