As promised... : )
The Cubs add to a string of injuries as the Gatorade Cooler is put on the DL. It looks like Ryan Dempster is taking it the hardest...

That was great Sarah
Thanks for lightening up the moment,
If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.
How do you not like Dempster?

As a pitcher?
I get frustrated because he doesn’t throw enough strikes.
But he seems like a great guy and he works really hard.
BLOODY BRILLIANT!
Classic Dempster. Classic. Kudos, Sarah.

That poor repair man looked so confused
That was really funny.
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
In his defense,
Kenny told me that he felt “bum-rushed by reporters” and that this was the first time he’d ever been on TV.
And, he did specifically mention a tall, pretty lady in a yellow shirt.
I suggested to him that he get a full time position guarding the machine in the dugout, but he didn’t want any part of angry players. He said he might be open to a future, hopefully lucrative gatorade advertising campaign.
Come visit me inside Wrigley along the Addison side mezzanine fence straight up from 1st base.

That commercial needs to happen
MJ, Ali, D-Wade, Peyton Manning, and Kenny the gatorade repair man
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
Now that's what I call refreshing Journalism!
I was having a rotten day and this put a smile on my face (that and the Cub’s first win in a low scoring game since… umm………………

Well done Sarah
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
That was really funny
Ted has lightened up a LOT since he first signed. Waddle & Silvy had him on the radio then and he was soooo boring. Nice to see him smiling.
how long can we afford to keep the Gatorade dispenser
on day to day? We should put it on the DL right now, so that we can get a minor-league replacement up NOW.

the players
don’t want powerade…
It's not about money. It's about winning and getting over the hump. We've had the appetizer now, but we left the main course on the table.

I think we should give them
six-packs of those little 5-hour energy drinks. NO SUGAR. :P

but the minor league
has only AAAA Dispensors, and we cannot afford a 29 year old rookie dispensor on the roster. We are in a drink now mode, and cannot afford learning on the job.

Having seen the Vitamin Water machine in action,
I can say with confidence that there is no way he’s ready for Wrigley. His defense is porous, his hitting is inconsistent, and he has no speed. He’s a career AA player, at best. The only reason he’s at AAA is because Iowa needed somebody to fill the spot on the roster.
But his wife is HAWT. :P
Judd Sirott is responsible for EVERYONE'S injury. And all the current slumps.
Bradley watch -- out 11 games of 47

Now we just need a Dead Pool for the machine
Place a bet on which day the machine will be beaten next, and when they will remove it permanently.
High five, Sarah.

Hey Sarah,
Just wanted to say, I checked out mouthpiecesports.com and I really appreciate the idea you guys have…it seems like as fans, we tend to look at players of our favorite team as inhuman or somehow separate than ourselves, and it’s really refreshing to see that distance shortened with what you guys are doing.
Also, I have, shall we say, a ‘thing’ about human connection, and I just really like hearing what these guys have to say, what they think about things.
Keep up the good work!!
Another great piece, Sarah. Thanks!
Demp really rolled with it.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
The frequent injuries suggest illicit activity
The machine should be checked for evidence of apple, orange, or cranberry residue – that would be direct evidence that it has been juicing.
"[I]f we get a Jumbotron, I can't pull the instant replay thing on all the rookies. Every time there's a good play, we're like, 'Oh, look at the replay,' and you get the rookies to look at the scoreboard." - Ryan Dempster, 2 January 2009

what if it is watered down
is that a sign that the machine is trying to flush its system to mask its use of juice?

Dempster is a riot...
It’s good to see all the players taking this in stride… hopefully Z can joke about it when he comes back too.
Bradley with the...
…“I told him I wouldn’t be the first to break it” was hilarious.
Funny stuff.

Does it seem to anyone else like...
… Kenny Mayne should have done this bit?
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on May 30, 2009 11:31 AM CDT reply actions
Didn't mean to imply she did it poorly...
… just that it seemed like the sort ob bits that KM does on NFL Countdown. Sort of a compliment, if you ask me.

The boys on Fox implied today
the machine would be pulled out during the next road trip.

Trib confirms that
Oh well. Back to beating up on the water cooler

Dempster is really quick and easily composed when it comes to making jokes
I'm a lefty, maybe Lou should give me a shot for a position in the bullpen!!
I think we
need all these pieces linked in one place…
funny stuff Sarah…
- Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
- Germans?
- Forget it, he's rolling.
