I wonder if Dempster pouts again when he gets an early hook.

Does Soto ever throw out baserunners?

6. Brian C Posted: July 20, 2011 at 07:04 PM (#3882311)

Can't happen soon enough.

Has anyone heard rumblings about Dempster being/not being on the trade block? I can't fathom why they wouldn't dangle him but I haven't heard.

Cubs don't trade a player until they've destroyed any possible return value.

And you know, I don't REALLY mind watch this happen. The Phillies are the class of the NL. The Cubs are one of the worst teams in baseball. What IS aggravating is watching this type of game over and over all season and not even have the consolation that changes abound. Instead, Quade and his staff continue to occupy the Cub dugout everyday while players like Jeff ####### Baker are deemed off the market.

Also, you know it's one of THOSE days when the team is already out of the game before half of its position players get an at-bat.

It's not like you can just replace those 225 PA per year.

11. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 20, 2011 at 08:22 PM (#3882373)

Great, now every time I see Baker bat, I'm thinking to myself, "THIS guy isn't available?"

John Grabow's existence on this team continues to stump me.
