Massive "Beat their Butts" Thread
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this?

just to come to Dempster's defense
there have been a number of starts this year where Demp has not had his best stuff, yet he has given us 6-7 innings and found a way to keep us in the game. It is a pity he is not pitching to his 2008 form, but he has been a real inning eater and managed to keep the Cubs in just about every start even when he has had some control issues.
…and no, I am not related to him.
"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix."

That's the definition of a 5th starter
Our 5th starter last year did exactly those things, and was despised because of his high salary.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
I'd love to ditch Dempster
but because that atrocious contract Hendry gave him, he isn’t going anywhere.
I assume you were in the "dump Marquis" crowd too.
look at how many more wins Marquis gets when he has a real infield behind him. When you induce ground balls, you need a SS and 2B with range. We have had crap. I feel that is the main reason that Marquis has had so much more success in Colorado. Defense does matter.
Hendry & Lou have not made middle infield D a priority. I hope the new ownership will change this attitude.

we are near the top in the NL at quality starts.
the problem is not our pitchers. the problem comes from bats that leave little room for error. How many times do our starters leave giving up only 1-2 or 3 runs and they don’t have a lead. We all know the bats (clutch hitting) have been the sore spot all year long.
"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix."

Wow.
Rami “still isn’t right”
Can’t wait to see him when hes 100% again.
Change is inevitable; progress is optional.
Rumor has it he'll be getting shoulder surgery in the off-season
If he can rehab from that, he’ll be an astounding bat in 2010.

Question, just asking???
Can anyone tell me if a player has played for every team in the same division. Noticed that ex CUB Eric Hinske has played for four teams in the AL EAST ( Tor, Bost, TB, NY) and if he goes free agent next year and signs with Baltimore that would be five teams in the same division in just five years. His chances of going over there could be enhanced by Aubrey Huff being traded. Maybe a foolish question but I thought this was quite different.
