Good to see Demp make a nice recovery from the 4 walks..

Pitching with a sizable lead will do that though

that there will be really, really, REALLY corny jokes/pictures about him and Harden having the same first name.

Like a picture on ESPN with both of them together, and the $$ sign in both of their eyes, with a title like “RICH in Wrigley”

Let's see...

Cubs just make a trade for one of the top five pitchers in baseball, plus they obtain a very good relief pitcher as well, they lead the game 7-1, and they lead the N.L. Central by 3.5 games. Are there any unhappy Cubs fans out there today?
