I'm telling you, if we win this it could be a blessing in disguise. Lou HAS to recognize how bad Dempster has become. He's not average. His h+w/IP ratio is not good for a closer, his ERA will be 4 or higher, and that's just not acceptable. Not for a team with our kind of payroll and aspirations. Lou has to pull the plug on him as closer.

Never saw the sign up sheet for that.
at you Dumpster.
It was headed by C-T-C.
He actually argued with me for multiple pages that Dempster was a better option than Marmol to close.
Combine that with his premature game thread...he's just been wrong on every level.

Lou has to take some blame for leaving him in after he'd given up 2 9-inning HRs. I don't know what he's thinking. It's one thing to want to let your closer know that you have confidence in him. It's another thing to show confidence in a guy who shouldn't be your closer in the first place, and to jeopardize an important win because of it.
