    Terrible. Guy didn't even lean over the fence. Clear HR
  2. Epsteenie
    ABTY says Dempster has received death threats, is very shaken, and blames the Braves even more for the leak. Seems to think it will cost the foundation money. Basically no way he accepts trade to ATL now.
  3. Epsteenie
    Yep. Reasonable speculation on spinning the leverage back into the FO's hands. And quenching my thirst for revenge

    Nice pitch right down the middle [expletive]

    RIZZO BOMB

    Quote from Dempster : "The Chicago Cubs are going to do what's best for the Cubs. I have a chance to do what's best for me. And I'm going to try and do that."

    so you didn't post this condescending and sarcastic comment? which, i will reiterate, had absolutely nothing to do with what i wrote. How is that condescending or sarcastic?

    oh i must have missed the part where there was a press conference and he held up a list of teams and the braves were #2 on the list. apparently that was common knowledge and not third-hand whispers down the lane. most people believe that the dodgers are #1, so i'm having a hard time understanding why the braves - nowhere close to los angeles geographically - would be #2. i've seen reports that he'd like to be on the west coast because of family, so maybe the braves were on the list of teams he'd consider but ultimately decided not to play for them. You can't see why he would want to play for a playoff contender? Really? (a) learn to read. the comment you posted has nothing to do with what i wrote. (b) dempster has pitched in the playoffs before. there is no guarantee that the braves will be going to the playoffs. a player may value stability in his personal life more than uprooting his life for two months. kerry wood decided not to be traded to the phillies last year. Are you a dick to everyone? Or am I just the lucky target tonight? I have said nothing rude or out of line and all you have been is a sarcastic prick.

    The [expletive] is that. To you guys that live in Chicago: Have you guys heard any of that stuff before? I figure you hear some things from time to time about guys partying and all that. What the hell is this [expletive], I guess is what I'm asking? I've heard it a little bit. My girlfriend works at Children's Memorial and I guess she's overheard some stuff indicating that the Dempsters were having some family problems.

    The [expletive] is that. No clue. Googled Ryan and Jenny Dempster and that came up. I had heard some rumors. My girlfriend works at Children's Memorial.

    This is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen http://www.parlezsport.com/mlb/history.aspx/Ryan_Dempster

    After 33 starts in AA at age 21/22 Webster has a 4.56 ERA and 1.486 WHIP. Stats are underwhelming. But I don't know what the scouts think of him.
  14. Epsteenie
    Except Dempster has stated publicly multiple times that he knows the direction of the franchise, would happily accept a trade to a contender, and would like to have his legacy be a nice pitcher in return. Also he made a list of teams he would like to be traded to and the Braves were #2. Sorry but he looks like a flake.
  15. Epsteenie
    So you're upset that Dempster is having a good year this year? No he's upset that Dempster is having his best year and we won't be able to acquire top-shelf talent in return because he is being a &*%$
  16. Epsteenie
    I know he is a reasonable man. But this is all based on speculations (or reports) that he was very much OK with Atlanta as a destination. I'm hoping the reasonable side of him comes through and accepts a trade to Atlanta (a well run team and contender) before it severely hurts the Cubs prospects. The word was he wanted a really good player coming back as part of his legacy. Delgado is exactly that. Someone we can root for, for 5+ years. But listening to his comments this afternoon don't you get the impression he was actively trying to scare Atlanta off? He said he might take all week trying to come to a decision. That would be the best possible thing to say if you didn't want to go to Atlanta. I understand he would rather go to LA more than ATL, but his comments make it seem like if he can't go to LA he doesn't want to go anywhere.

    While I understand that Dempster wants to take his time, he has to understand that the Cubs front office will be upset with him, the Braves front office will be upset with him and Cubs fans will as well. I hope this doesn't happen, but if Theo & Jed aren't able to move him by the deadline what do you think happens? Do you think there will be any repercussions for Dempster from Theo & Jed?

    EVERYBODY PANIC
  19. Epsteenie
    That was the longest home run ever hit at Busch Stadium
  20. Epsteenie
    So predictable.

    Starlin doesn't have a double since June 17.

    Worst rain delay ever. I NEED BASEBALL

    I hope someone in the organization tells him to knock off that crap and concentrate on doing his job more effectively. dear god Don't underestimate the ability a shaving cream pie has to throw a guy off his game. Could put a guy in a slump for weeks.

    I blame Jon Heyman http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heyman/19508297/gm-survey-matt-garza-more-valuable-as-trade-commodity-than-even-zack-greinke-or-cole-hamels
