PIT - Correia (R)

jagaf22 · 07-25-12, 06:01 AM

Call me square but I like my chances with Dempster at +money

Chi_archie · 07-25-12, 07:24 AM

I can never watch the Pirates when this guy pitches. He always looks like he is gonna give up 2 grand slams per inning...

super below average stuff

hopefully this is his last start as a Pirate

May have to take Dumpster....Pit can get swept just as easily as the Yanks got swept. Mismatch on the moiund, and plus money...too good to pass up for me.

d2bets · 07-25-12, 08:56 AM

Will Dempster make the start?

kcburg · 07-25-12, 09:00 AM

Dempster makes the start only goes 5 innings or on a limited pitch count like the Pirates at home.

Chi_archie · 07-25-12, 09:03 AM

Yeah I'd love to be a fly on the wall listening to rheo negotiate before and during demstwr's start

onacloud · 07-25-12, 09:09 AM

Dempster will throw what 70 pitches max?

Where are you guys reading/hearing about a pitch count?

I haven't see anything actually everything I've read is pointing at Dempster staying with the Cubs

Chi_archie · 07-25-12, 09:32 AM

Not having demster taken out early is a way for theo to play hard ball with other gm!s "until you agree to these terms I'm not taking him out before dale would on any other start 100-115 pitches

onacloud · 07-25-12, 09:36 AM

If Dempster has no restrictions then Cubs +110 ????

Chi_archie · 07-25-12, 09:45 AM

I like the cubs a lot here. I will be basically Auto fading the pirates everyday as their bats finally went cold. Considering they have 3-5 MLB caliber bats in their lineup the hitting they showed the last 6 weeks is mind boggling! It wasn't just mCcutch and walker but every bat came ALIVE.. Now I think they all go to sleep and the pitching falls apart even Burnett who has really pitched over his head. Same story as late july and Augustast year

I'm still trying to figure out how/why their bullpen is so solid with guys like Grilli and Juan Cruz anchoring things.

Derrek Fukkin Lee is a pussy who never won a single playoff game for the Cubbies. Derrek Lee can go fukk himself.

Because that was Derrek Lee's fault? Sometimes you post like you're 12 years old.

Ghenghis Kahn · 07-25-12, 10:14 AM

Results are all that matter. Derrek Lee's only clutch hit cost the Cubs a world series appearance... the guy hit like shit in the 2008 playoffs, he had his chance, he did nothing for us. Good riddance.

But to get back on topic... anyone betting on the Pirates today should have their heads examined.

JamesBrown · 07-25-12, 10:49 AM

I don't see Soriano in the lineup today..

onacloud · 07-25-12, 10:50 AM

Pittsburgh Pirates -1 +111

Chi_archie · 07-25-12, 11:10 AM

D lee retired. Pirates wanted him back. He declined. J
he did well in his time with Pittsburgh but got an injury in the middle of a hot streak I rhink

Correia gets blasted on an 0-2 pitch by Rizzo! 1-0 Cubbies!

PickWinnerAllDay · 07-25-12, 12:57 PM

FUKK! I'm going to have to post on Mike's facebook wall that his HR jeopardized my under.

PickWinnerAllDay · 07-25-12, 02:04 PM

Damn you Pauly, hope you win on your Pirates ML so I can cash my under 7.5.

We all win... but if the Cubs were to win 4-3, I'd be okay with that too.

Regul8er · 07-25-12, 03:41 PM

Pirates 3....Cubbies 2.

YES SIR

Chi_archie · 07-25-12, 04:15 PM

I got suckered thinking the cubs should get at least six off of rag arm correia. Unreal
