hate to see I guy hurt
but this is good for the cubs. I don’t know a thing about the guy they brought in but I feel comfortable saying he’s no Roy Oswalt.

ugh
get your shit together Demps and D, their ace is gone and we are into their depleted bullpen, keep them from blowing up on O and it should be an easy win for the O.
That's big talk for a little guy,
but I'm walkin' without reply.

Dempster probably could have used more DL time

Need Demp to get at least 5 innings here, don't want to overtax our bullpen.

i wouldn't expect a GS to tie up the game tonight...
our hitters seem too aggresive tonight…we need to draw some walks and get some men on base

I agree with Bob.
This one is far from over.

Yes.
