Backing the Big Favorite Rangers

Record 30 - 36 Bank Account +174 Padres at Cubs - Why bet on a game with these two pathetic teams? Good question, but now that the Cubs are hitting I will take my chances with Ryan Dempster who is win less in his last 17 starts, but has an ERA of 3.61 while the Cubs have averaged only 2.2 runs a game for Dempster. Anthony Bass who will duel with Dempster today is coming off a beating...

Attention Cubs Management: Please do NOT sign Ryan Dempster to an extension.

OK, so its been a pretty slow year as far as Cubs news goes. The Cubs are in last place and Carlos Zambrano is not around to blow up after another one of his bad outings. However, I recently came this gem of an article that made me cringe. Apparently, Cubs President Theo Epstein is open to signing Ryan Dempster to an extension. First let me say that Dempster has been tremendous...

Cubs gonna ship Ryan Dempster to crosstown White Sox?

“Could the Cubs send Ryan Dempster 8.1 miles south to the White Sox?” That was the question posed by WSCR’s David Schuster during the Sox pregame show today. “Dempster has pitched well but has nothing to show for it,” Schuster further explained minutes before the White Sox took on the Cleveland Indians at U.S. Cellular Field. As he explained, Dempster...

Suck it Chitown, Bucs shut out Cubbies

Cubs starter Ryan Dempster was still looking for his first win of the year when the Cubs rode a nine-game losing streak into PNC Park last night. Dempster went 7.1 inning and struck out 7 Pirates and allowed just 1 run…but who cares, the Buccos still won. AJ Burnett was 1 run better than Dempster last night and help the Bucs shutout the Cubbies 1-0 to hand Chitown its first...

Ugly, but we’ll take it

The Pirates’ 1-0 win over the Cubs on Friday night was bizarre, but also quite predictable in a number of ways. A terrible hitting team with a great pitching staff edged out an even worse team that had a strong pitcher on the mound. That strong pitcher on the terrible team would be Ryan Dempster of the Cubs, who fell to 0-3 on the year despite his excellent 2.14 ERA. This game...

Cubs more likely to trade Ryan Dempster if they extend Matt Garza?

Cubs right-hander Ryan Dempster, an obvious trade candidate, would be even more likely to be moved if the team signed righty Matt Garza to a contract extension. – Ken Rosenthal Does anybody understand this? I don't see what extending Garza has to do with whether or not the Cubs try to trade Ryan Dempster. Matt [...]

Ryan Dempster waiting at the baggage claim from hell.

It's so cruel watching Ryan Dempster pitch one outstanding game after another and still not get his first win of '12.Well, I guess he did give up 4 earned runs so his ERA ballooned to 1.97, but still. He's winless in his last 15 starts.Oh well, the baggage conveyor belt just keeps going and one day it'll spit out a W.Could you believe it when Mitchell Boggs threw...

Is Ryan Dempster On The Trade Block Due To His Hot Start?

Who would have thought Ryan Dempster was going to lead baseball in ERA this early into the season? This in turn could mean a ton of positive for the Chicago Cubs. Ryan Dempster is one of the better clubhouse guys in baseball, and is well respected by his teammates. He also happens to be a pretty decent pitcher that teams in the playoff race might want. I have to say yes, Ryan Dempster...

Dempster trade to Boston makes sense to Heyman

Jon Heyman is providing some suggestions about how the Red Sox can be fixed. One of them is acquiring a starting pitcher and he names Ryan Dempster. One obvious suggestion could be Ryan Dempster of the Cubs. He has an 0.95 ERA, the lowest ever for a pitcher who has yet to win a game [...]
