That's the defense the cop's lawyer is using in an effort to get the guy's job back after being fired for calling Crawford the N-word. That's a real airtight defense. He didn't call him the N-word.

Enhancement ideas for NSBB

again, not a rule -
He felt he could give up more runs. Dempster had no business coming out after the 6th. Continuing in that situation played a pretty big part in some of how disappointing outcomes last year, like when he fell apart against Pittsburgh after he should have been pulled on opening day. He faced 74 PA last year after the 100 pitch mark and had a 911 OPS in those situations. This year he's had just 15 PA past 100.

Why? Dempster was within his rights to torpedo the trade. He exercised those rights. How can you support punishing some one that has done nothing wrong? The thing that he may very well have done wrong is lie to his bosses about his intentions. This isn't true unless you want to call the FO liars too. There have been reports that they themselves thought that this could be an issue. If Dempster had flat out said he agreed to the trade the FO would have been surprised with this string of events. That's a BS attempt at explaining away the realities of what's actually been said about the matter.

The Cubs going through this season without acquiring a top prospect in a trade is a really terrible outcome in a season of nothing but terrible outcomes.

And for the record, I don't really have great expectations for Garza over the next 5-6 years, so I'm not really in love with the idea of keeping him longterm anyway. He's not the guy he was last year, and he's not going to be young during his next contract.
-
Contract or control? Fair enough, he's under control. They can still trade him this offseason, next trade deadline or even extend and keep him. The amount of concern over Garza possibly not being traded seems misplaced. I think the concern is they end this trading deadline with no new longterm assets brought into the team when the only thing we've been able to look forward to in this god awful season has been the seemingly inevitable acquisition of top prospects. Garza was always the guy who could get them the most while Dempster was the guy who had to go. Just when it looked like they could get more than expected for Dempster, clearing the way for a bigger market for Garza, it all went to hell. It's not just about Garza not being traded, but rather nobody of value being acquired - potentially.

The thing that he may very well have done wrong is lie to his bosses about his intentions. I dont understand Dempster's motivation for doing that though? I'm not saying he couldn't have lied, I'm just not sure why he would do that. Wanting to look like the good guy while hoping everything would work out in the end and he'd be in LA.

well at least they are keeping the hopes alive for Pittsburgh who might get desperate enough to trade for soriano
-
I don't think we can hope for any compensation.

lahair with another long out

It's a tricep cramp. Has no one ever experience a tricep cramp before? It goes away after a couple days, if that. Also "Hasn't pitched since his injury"? He pitched on July 21st when the injury happened. His next turn in the rotation would be tomorrow, with or without the injury, but he happens to be having a kid at the time so he can't make that. Not an injury, but a child, and he's slated to pitch when he comes back, a couple days off from his routinely scheduled appearance. You guys are chicken little-ing the [expletive] out of this. You sound ridiculous. Every report so far has indicated they aren't sure when he will pitch next. He might go Monday. But they don't know. If he can't go before the deadline, that's a huge problem. Pretending otherwise is idiotic.

Sorry for the misunderstanding Ryan, that letter just meant The Dempster, THE! It's German.

darwin!

In the offseason we were hoping for the same stuff. He took a step back this year and is currently unsure when he'll pitch again.
-
see. I told you not to ask about it. It's dumber and dumber the more you hear about it.
