No one has hit Dempster...he has the best batting average against in all of baseball (among starters).

Stat of the night: Orlando bats .321 (9 for 28) against Dempster

Chris who?

Can someone open up the positive game thread again? We were doing damn well with that.

Please do not use Jim Thome at 1b! One game isn't worth him possibly getting injured and being out for an extended period.

Vazquez has a 4.8 ERA lifetime against CHC, Dumpster has a 3.8 ERA lifetime against us.

The difference is Vazquez has 83+ career IP vs. the Cubs. Dempster has 7 vs. the Sox. That measly 7 innings is probably bad news for the Sox. And most of us know how Javy likes to s*** his pants on the stage.

Didn't AJ hit that 3 run homer in the 9th against Dempster to get the lead and then those low-life cubs fans trashed the field with garbage? Also, didn't Ross Gload begin that rally with a 2 out single as well?

Whose idea was it to make Dumpster a starter, lou or their GM?

As much as I like Oz, Lou might be the best in baseball history.

I'm worried about the Thome thing. I mean I have a real premonition he's gonna butcher it at first and give the critics one more thing to bury Oz on as well as cost us any chance of winning.

I think we need a solid outing from our old Ace Javy Vazquez... he needs a return to form of sorts. Big time.

 

Give 'em hell, Javy!

Man I am pissed. I come into work and my cubicle and Sox decor is defaced today by Cubs fans, moreover I am pissed because I made a bet about this series, and they messed with my cubicle anyways.

 

 

Win this one for me Javy

I think it was Dempster actually.

He has been asking to start with the Cubs pretty much since he got there

A win tonight would be nice. Please?

No, not really. I mean, he hasn't exactly proved he thrives on the stage, but he hasn't s*** his pants on the stage, at least for us. Since Javy was here, he was bad for 1 half, the first half of 06. Lets be frank, most of the games in the first half aren't really on big stages. However, in the 2nd half of 06, when there was a whole lot more pressure on us and we were going for that playoff spot, Javy was our only pitcher worth a damn, and Javy was dealing against teams like Boston.

Let's not lose our 9th straight on the road...

 

Before game 2 of the TB series a couple of weeks back, we were one of MLB's best road teams at 17-14. Now, we're 17-22.

He was bad either way. He had a ERA half a run better than the first half after the all-star break. But he was 2-8! Javy has shown to screw up when pitching in big games. He's no Freddy Garcia. Besides, Boston sucked that year. They were worse than us.

 

Although, Javier was good against the Cubs last year. No record in 14 innings pitched with a 3.86 ERA and a .079 WHIP. Pretty good.

Oh don't even use that to try and make a point. There was absolutely no run support for him that year.

And when he did get support he was 9-4, but his ERA was 5. He was bad either way. Our whole entire staff sucked in the second half of '06. That's pretty much it.

A thread started by Johnny negative himself, man this cant be good

I am thinking Thome needs to start today and at least once in LA. He clearly doesn't bring much as a PH (I hope I can be proven wrong) and it isn't good for him to be relegated to that role for 6 games in arow. We won't see him back in the line up until Friday

I'm glad you said it.
