That quote tells you exactly why Ryan Dempster had to return.

Definitely.

He had a number of other good ones as well. Demp’s definitely a guy who says all the right things.

More than that...

… I think he actually believes in those things, rather than just spouting them as platitudes.

i like Demp a lot

and the call was a good listen, thanks for posting daver

with that said… the quote should apply to kerry wood too…

and its KILLING me that it doesn’t. Kerry wants to return for the unfinished business as well

Yeah, I would say...

…Kerry has more unfinished business with the Cubs than Ryan Dempster has. Unfortunately, it appears that business may stay unfinished forever.

If they win it this year....

…I’ll be happy, but it’s still going to be damn bittersweet that Kerry Wood isn’t a part of this team.
