Dempster is REALLY not locating
That was one of the worst innings I’ve seen him have. Every pitch was up and down the fat part of the plate. If he keeps pitching like that we will need some runs, hopefully he can start locating better.

So here's a question regarding Berkman/Switch-hitting...
Berkman is strongest from the left side.
Cotts, a lefty, is better vs. righties than lefties.
So, Cotts would be a good guy to face Berkman, no?

Just thought that too, especially since Jim Edmonds has the best historical #s vs. Moehler.
But, I’m thinking he wanted Edmonds to protect Ramirez, the best hitter we have in the lineup tonight.

I am not focussed on all of the numbers....
but is there a reason that Daryle Ward is still playing on this team right now? I know that he is a veteran pinch hitting specialist, but I don’t think that he has much left anymore (no…I am not an expert). Also, why in the world would he bat third indeed? I think that Lou doesn’t want to mess up the mojo others have at the spot in the order, but to drop Ward at three is a tremendous disadvantage in the biggest (arguably) spot in the order.

WGN + ESPN
I don’t have to listen to ESPN, whenever the Cubs are at home you can use your XM radio to sync use the broacast and listen to Pat and Ron, way better.

Yes..
and we had to petition the commissioner to let us continue playing the game…since any base loaded BB results in an automatic forfeit.
