Hoyer confirms everything we surmised and rubs some balm on Huey's PANKRAGE - it appears that Dempster will never be back at Wrigley Field as a Cub as long as Jed and Theo are in charge.

About that.  Not a Cub, but look who's hangin' with the Chads and Trixies today.  Think he'll stop by Al's Corner to say hi?

Does he have his fingers crossed?

He does.  He's also trolling us by wearing his World Series ring.

I hope you TEAM DEMPSTER FAGGOTS are happy.

This seems a bit harsh

You can spell "nuanced, subtle points of view" without P-A-N-K.

Pretty sure you can't.

You certainly can't spell it with P-A-N-K.

Dammit.

THI.  Him wearing that ring whilst sitting in the bleachers was a very deliberate piece of trolling.  Fuck him in his ginger arse.

Meh, I've never been on board with the Dempster hate and if Hendricks and Villanueva work out (either at the club or the continued "flip these guys around in order to get Jake Peavy" quest) then I couldn't give 2 shits about him

BTW, Randall Delgado may be on his way to the bullpen

Still butthurt over that, eh?

There, there, Dan.  It's okay.  Just think of all the eye-rollingly annoying status updates you haven't had to troll.

I don't understand how people don't hate Dempster. It's baffling.

Him screwing up the trade with Atlanta actually turned out to be better for our Kubbeez, but i still hate him.

I find it equally weird how much people HATE the guy. He was a pretty good player who, by all accounts, loved Chicago and loved playing there. Sure, he thinks he's funnier than he is, but so do most people. And I guess I can understand being miffed at how he messed up the Atlanta trade. Overall, I still don't have a major problem with him.

But we've been over this repeatedly. It's not like anyone is going to change their mind.

Think he'll stop by Al's Corner to say hi?

Yes, yes he did. If you want to be adored forever by the simps, paying tribute to Al is a must.

The weather was tolerably mild, and the forecast of rainshowers turned into a couple of sprinkles that lasted about 10 minutes just before game time. Overall, the weather during the first homestand wasn't terrible, considering the awful winter and the fact that the Cubs played six home games (including two night games) by April 10. Speaking of the awful winter, I learned that former Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster, who was in the bleachers Thursday, spent the winter in Chicago, where he still has a home. The reason he has the USPS cap -- he told me he traded another cap for it. Cool stuff, and nice for Demp to just hang out at a baseball game.

Wish he could have seen a Cubs win.

He traded his hat! COOL STUFF! (Al notes that Dempster's USPS hat is now 0-1 on the season.)

Shits given = zero.  I think it's weird that something that superfluous has any value to you.

I also find it weird that you have no hard feelings that his inability to throw strikes basically torpedoed two seperate seasons, but you're CLEARLY a bigger man than I am, because that shit frosts my ass (obviously).
