I don't think he will either...but he won't get as many oppurtunities as Dempster.

not really, w/out that UNLUCKY ball that hit the base, he wouldn't have given up a run

You just can't accept that Ryan Dempster gets the job done can you?

Dempster has been effective in SAVE situations.

However, any time he comes in in a NON-SAVE situation he has been garbage.

Dempster just gave up 4 runs in 1 inning.

In "garbage innings."

He is the worst Cubs reliever since Dave Smith in 1991. Smith had 17 saves and a 6.00 ERA and I looked on with amazement every time they put him in during a save situation.

Rick Aguilera used to blow a lot of saves, too, but we were bad as a team so perhaps one wouldn't expect to have a fine closer. We don't have that excuse now.

Good points. I guess I just repressed those memories. I paid more attention and invested more emotion a longer time ago, so those memories are freshest and most painful.

My painful memories are always on recent events/tragedies.

How bout this trade? Dumpster, Prior, and Kendall for Valverde, Drew, and Robby Hammock

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned Kerry Wood as our possible closer. He's been clutch in the playoffs before, I'd feel comfortable with him pitching with the game on the line, what do you guys think?

Posey H8er · Post #57 » by **Posey H8er** » Sun Sep 30, 2007 10:36 pm

I believe the idea of Woody as our closer was more commonly discussed earlier in the year when he was still healing. But the greatness of Marmol this year made us talk mainly about him.

Just wanted to reiterate this point again before tomorrow.

Everytime Woody comes into a game I think I make some comment about wanting to see him close in the playoffs. :lol:

Dempster's stuff (or lack of) reminds of Joe Borowski. I fear he is going to pull a Mitch Williams in the playoffs.
