Title: Ryan Dempster - Someone Else's Problem
Post by: Brownie on August 20, 2012, 08:59:51 AM
Dempster couldn't be the team mule on the trip up to Canada because he lost his passport and hasn't had it for several years. (http://www.csnchicago.com/baseball-chicago-cubs/cubs-talk/Dempster-without-passport-will-miss-star?blockID=758817&feedID=10336)

Really? He's from BC, he has family up there and not once did he think it might be nice to have his passport to travel home?

At least he helped Roy Oswalt get another chance at starting.

The way he's pitching for Texas, I'm betting the Rangers were hoping that he lost his passport while he was in Canada.

I think the MEP happened in April so I'm really looking forward to the Troll Dempster Playoff Pantshitting Party - sponsored by Massengill Douche and whatever Russell Brand movie is about to come out.

DPD.  Insufferable clown Ryan Dempster needed four (!) tries to finally hit Alex Rodriguez (http://deadspin.com/ryan-dempster-beans-a-rod-and-somehow-joe-girardi-is-t-1164355300), undoubtedly marking the very moment when the scales fell from his eyes and A-Rod realized for the first time all the wrong he'd done and profoundly regretted the litany of mistakes he'd ... lol no, it meant absolutely nothing whatsoever.

This gutsy, not-at-all-cowardly-even-though-Dempster-didn't-have-to-face-Yankees-pitching-as-a-batter beanball pleased the (bloodthirsty Boston) audience more than all of his 'jokes' combined ever will, though, so there's that.

How colossal a bunch of arseholes do Dempster and the Boston fans have to be to make me actively root for A-Rod and the Yankees?  I admit it: I really enjoyed A-Rod's subsequent homer.  That makes me feel so fucking dirty.

Vigilante justice Dempster stlye! Plunk every player who juices. This could take a while. Especially in the AL, where they'll have to line the pitchers up in the bullpen to drill them in the ass.

Correction on Heyman's headline, Dempster's worst crime is that he's an unfunny asshole who is completely convinced the entire world loves and adores his act and certainly didn't get sick of it with 10 minutes of its debut.

Basically, he's the Jim Belushi of baseball.

The real Harry Caray on the video board, sure, a little hokey, but I can tolerate. Humoring Dempster's "comedy" act, not so much. That ship has sailed, been hit with a torpedo, sank, and made into a fish toilet long ago.

He's pitching for Team Canada.
They played Team USA yesterday and he managed to record one out while letting a lot of guys on base and a handful of them to score.

The pitching is a little light but if you're telling me this lineup has a bunch of losers...uhhh:

C Buster Posey
1B Paul Goldschmidt
2B Ian Kinsler/Daniel Murphy
3B Nolan Arenado
SS Brandon Crawford
LF Christian Yelich
CF Adam Jones
RF Giancarlo Stanton

What the fuck are you smoking? That is the best catcher in the game playing next to potentially the best first baseman (partial to Rizzo myself for obvious reasons), the two best offensive second basemen in the game not named Jose Altuve, a third baseman who is only not the best at his spot in the NL because Kris Bryant exists, a shortstop who has been worth ten wins the last two years, a 5 win left fielder, and Giancarlo fucking Stanton in RF. Center Field is kinda meh with Jones and McCutchen both being in their decline phase but that roster would win like 110 games.

If they used their optimal lineup based on last years bWAR (Kinsler at 2B), that lineup was worth 35.5 WAR last year from those 8 guys alone. The Cubs top 8 guys managed 32.7 bWAR last year.

Hey look, Ryan Dempster shitting the bed and walking the world in an important game. Who could've guessed.

Are you having a stroke?

He's pitching for Team Canada.
They played Team USA yesterday and he managed to record one out while letting a lot of guys on base and a handful of them to score.

Ah.

Yeah, see I give zero fucks about the WBC.

The WBC has been all sorts of fun.  If you're into the whole baseball thing.

I like that the Dominican team is stocked with studs but that the US team has a bunch of losers.   Seems even.

The pitching is a little light but if you're telling me this lineup has a bunch of losers...uhhh:

C Buster Posey
1B Paul Goldschmidt
2B Ian Kinsler/Daniel Murphy
3B Nolan Arenado
SS Brandon Crawford
LF Christian Yelich
CF Adam Jones
RF Giancarlo Stanton

What the fuck are you smoking? That is the best catcher in the game playing next to potentially the best first baseman (partial to Rizzo myself for obvious reasons), the two best offensive second basemen in the game not named Jose Altuve, a third baseman who is only not the best at his spot in the NL because Kris Bryant exists, a shortstop who has been worth ten wins the last two years, a 5 win left fielder, and Giancarlo fucking Stanton in RF. Center Field is kinda meh with Jones and McCutchen both being in their decline phase but that roster would win like 110 games.

That is pretty good.  I just assumed that no Bryant, no Harper and no Trout meant ALL SCHLUBS.

I apologize for the oversight but still ain't watching this.  GIMME CUB BASEBAW

How about Javier Baez launching a dong for Team Puerto Rico? That do anything for you?

I just bought my first Baez Cubs jersey. Now I want a Baez Puerto Rico jersey.

Former Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster stepped in with a stand-up routine and singled out Schwarber for his troubles in left field. "I love the comment that you made that you want to win the Gold Glove. That is so good. Shaw, 'Matrix,' I want to play in the NBA. You can help me out — Kyle's gonna win a Gold Glove."

Dempster asked Bryant if he borrowed his jacket from "Game of Thrones." "You're like Ned Stark and Tommy La Stella is Tyrion Lannister, right? Just a little cute guy. (Blanks) off for a few weeks, and you don't know where he went, then he comes back, all of a sudden he's getting big base hits."

That (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-anthony-rizzo-laugh-off-chicago-inc-20180112-story.html) had the cadence of a joke.

He also made a bad joke on air about a beloved bat-retrieving dog for the minor league Trenton Thunder dying of cancer. He's the absolute worst.

Oh and he also cheated on his wife, with the nanny if I remember correctly. Hopefully the moral cleansing currently going on in our culture will result in no more camera time or ink spilled on him. His comedy "career" certainly doesn't warrant it.
