Dempster isn't doing as well this year
like everyone thought he would.

Huh?
If you’re looking at his record, I think lack of run support as a lot to do with that.

Dempster is leaving a lot of pitches up in the zone...

already at 51 pitches for the night.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

cmon, Demp!
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Odd game
Both pitchers don’t appear very sharp. Defense and some breaks appear to be getting them through.
Vasquez tends to have problems about the sixth inning, no? Perhaps this is just what the Cubs need.

Fox to the plate
time to get a hold of something here.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

That's a shame
He’s a good catcher who does a lot of damage at the plate, with none of the negative stigma of AJ (that I can see). I honestly felt he got shafted with Geo starting the ASG last year. Happy for Geo, but McCann has been very good for the Braves. When Geo is hitting, I’d take either one starting for my team.
