Around SBN: Iron Bowl Thoughts... Right Now

Was it just residual dementia from Saturday's tequila binge?

Or did Ryan Dempster look pretty sharp yesterday? I don't know if it's the little glove flip he developed, or if he's learned how to breathe through his vestigial lizard eye, or what, but his delivery seems to be a lot crisper than I've ever seen it. I've been less than enthused about seeing him in the rotation, but yesterday offered at least a glimmer of hope. Does anyone agree, or was I just looking at him through agave goggles?

re: "Vestigial lizard eye"
Great noise-punk band back in the day. They rocked the Cabaret Metro in '92.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2008 Chicago Cubs starting outfield: Soriano-Pie-Fukudome. Let it be.

"Agave Goggles"
That's a great name for a band too.  Classic stuff here.

It wasn't your goggles
He's looked pretty decent so far. I'm cautiously optimistic about both Dempster and Lieber.
