Yes, good call- you likely don't want to know. But his fly being unzipped makes
many a man and woman question their better judgement, and want to explore the wonders of Mr. Ryan Dempster in all their glory. I will stop now, before I complete an entire erotic novel about Dempster throwing the “slider” all night long.
it’s like a darker navy blue and it looks like inside the logo are stars, kind of like the flag. no red on it, though. lol @ cocknfire, the cubs regular headwear would definitely have been a natural 4th of july cap!
shows the closeup. yep, a little flag design inside the C. guess i didn’t get a close enough zoom-in on the logo, there is definitely red white and blue in there (as subtle as it is). nice and sharp.

parrotinct - July 2, 2008
Geo's been strugging a bit on offense
It could be the amount of innings he’s been catching that his average wasn’t going to stay above .300
or it could be if he’s discovered bcb that noticing he has groupies has distracted him a bit.
j/k
Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008
Being called Stud by all the other players might be bothering him too..:)
And IIRC, somone on here said he’s never caught over 100 games before, and he’s on pace for well over that.

They don’t play in ATL this year, so the trip to Fla was prolly my only chance to see them this year
You also don’t have to deal with the horrible color scheme at the Trop
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
and I may see a game at Shea Stadium vs. the Giants
but i haven’t decided yet. Lincecum and Santana are pitching so I probably will go..
Chanman25 - July 2, 2008
that should be a good game
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
You live in NY or traveling
I’ve been trying to decide whether to take a quick trip to see a game at Yankee Stadium…
I thought that was one of those I could wait and get to earlier, but oh well…
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
*get to later
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
traveling
so it will be my first time going to BOTH stadiums. If you could, I would definately go because they are gone after next year
Chanman25 - July 2, 2008
Yeah, but everyone I've heard says Shea is a hellhole
And I’d have to, like, watch the Mets play. Ugh.
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
went there in 1999; it was ok
even wore Cub gear
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
And you lived to tell the tale?
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
yes. did something even dumber the same trip
walked through a neighborhood in Queens at 2 AM. survived that, too…
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
LOL
You were feeling bold that week, huh?
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
lol
adventurous huh?
Chanman25 - July 2, 2008
thought we were closer to the hotel than we were
poor judgement
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
wow......sox swept by the rays..
Chanman25 - July 2, 2008
what was t he final of that game?
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
7-6
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
whoa
it was like 4-0 Sawx, last i saw.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
Yeah, that's what the BoSox bullpen can do for you
Or lack of a bullpen
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
7-6 Godly Rays
Chanman25 - July 2, 2008
Lead is now 3.5 games
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
A double play would be fantastic
right about here
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
makes me feel better about Cubs being swept
Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008
Rays are a good team this year
cocknfire - July 2, 2008

WWMBD?
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
Very funny
or scary, depending on your outlook.
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
Is he a cannibal?
I mean, that girth has to come from somewhere….
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
big punch out
for Demp.
Scrapptastic - July 2, 2008
One more Demp....come on.
sue369 - July 2, 2008
Lewis gets his backwards K on. Two out
nji232 - July 2, 2008
Durham doubles to RF, runner to third Two out
nji232 - July 2, 2008
ACK!!
sue369 - July 2, 2008
ok K time
Canseco's Roid Party - July 2, 2008
C'mon, ryan
one more out.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
Winn
is a tough out…bare down Demp!
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
Why do we walk the pitcher?
nji232 - July 2, 2008
to tire him by making him run the bases, of course....
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
to make life interesting
the tigers took back that “most come-from-behind” wins stat from us.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
Because we're clever like that
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
b/c he threw 4 balls
hence the walk
j/k
Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008
dammit
sue369 - July 2, 2008
are the cubs wearing different caps tonight?
what kind of caps are these, no red bill and the C is a different color? i think the giants are wearing similar.
jackieboy - July 2, 2008
4 of july hats...
TheRiot Police - July 2, 2008
every team is doing it.
Selling them for a charity with welcoming back soldiers.
tigerhawk61 - July 2, 2008
the giants are doing a "support the troops' night
maybe thats why?
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
Yes -- to raise money for veterans
All teams are wearing caps with stars & stripes in the logos through July 4 weekend and on September 11
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
nice
great to see a good cause. were they wearing these earlier in the series? i thought i would’ve noticed.
jackieboy - July 2, 2008
No, tonight was the first game.
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
What the hell color is the C?
What’s wrong with a July 4 cap that’s, um, red white and blue
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
I'm watching the radio..
Do they look good?
Bump Bailey - July 2, 2008
That's what I'm trying to fig out
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
your watching your radio?????????
Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008
No Comcast..
Cost cutting move….and the radio is right in front of me…
Bump Bailey - July 2, 2008
I don't tend to look @ right as my radio as I listen to it lol
Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008
look pretty cool
it’s like a darker navy blue and it looks like inside the logo are stars, kind of like the flag. no red on it, though.
lol @ cocknfire, the cubs regular headwear would definitely have been a natural 4th of july cap!
jackieboy - July 2, 2008
Nice..
wonder if we can buy them?
Bump Bailey - July 2, 2008
i'd think so
usually to raise money
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
yep. go to MLB.com or Cubs.com
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
thx
will do that.
Bump Bailey - July 2, 2008
ahh...
http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3141559&source=CHCHP-242×168-newera_starsstripes
shows the closeup. yep, a little flag design inside the C. guess i didn’t get a close enough zoom-in on the logo, there is definitely red white and blue in there (as subtle as it is). nice and sharp.
jackieboy - July 2, 2008
lol
sue369 - July 2, 2008
Winn walks bases loaded Two out.
nji232 - July 2, 2008
falling behind
too much now.
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
bases juiced...
don’t repeat the white sox game demp..
Bump Bailey - July 2, 2008
Gamecast
is showing a lot of those pitches in the zone, but called balls…is that accurate?
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
MAN UP RYAN

GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
Oh, and the New York tabloids are now saying...
...that A-Rod’s wife has run off to Paris with, of all people, Lenny Kravitz. Wow.
cwyers - July 2, 2008
omg
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
No wonder he's messing around with Madonna
Although, I gotta say—she’s butt-ugly.
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
Lenny Kravitz and Madonna were once an item.
Not saying. Just saying.
cwyers - July 2, 2008
lenny kravitz used to be HAWT
i haven’t seen him recently though
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
And I think Madonna is plenty attractive.
Your mileage may vary.
cwyers - July 2, 2008
Isn't Madonna..like old?
Bump Bailey - July 2, 2008
define "old"
sue369 - July 2, 2008
careful Bump...
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
Bump
Pssst … your line is, “each year is like seven in celebrity years”
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
i don't think this is a door to open
careful, buddy
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008

The wonders of botox
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
Watch it, mister.
You’re going over the borderline.
cwyers - July 2, 2008
I think you did by saying Madonna is attractive.
Not saying. Just saying.
Jayo525 - July 2, 2008
You're not saying?
You need to express yourself.
cwyers - July 2, 2008
Ok.
I’ll give it you. I did think she was attractive in Material Girl days. But now, not so much.
Jayo525 - July 2, 2008
And I'm expressing myself.
You just can’t see me doing my vogue dance.
Jayo525 - July 2, 2008
I'd pay
a $1 to see that. :P
sue369 - July 3, 2008
I'm not a fan of hers.
sue369 - July 2, 2008
A-Rod has really become a whole teams worth of stories by himself
nji232 - July 2, 2008
Maybe he was going her way...
rim shot…

Ryan, your a pitcher you know walking the pitcher plus this last gut is not good.
Throw 3 strikes and I got dinner tonight at the Wharf
parrotinct - July 2, 2008
ok Ryan nice job I buy tonight , you want Halibut or Salmon ???
parrotinct - July 2, 2008
K!
Huge out, Demp.
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
could have been a major turning point of the game
Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008
Brewers on the board
down 2-1 in the 6th.
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
and are being outhit 8-2
interesting running by AZ, to say the least
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
We should pick up that Ryan Dempster guy he is a sweet starting pitcher...
Canseco's Roid Party - July 2, 2008
Now. lets steal that momentum
by SCORING RUNS, BOYS
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
Edmonds singles to RF none out
nji232 - July 2, 2008
Good job Edmonds
GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008

Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008

Mets outhitting them 11-8
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008

On a side note lets do to the Cardinals this weekend what the Rays just did to the Red Sox.
nji232 - July 2, 2008
lets get to STL with no one else hurt, first.
:-P
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008

Fontenot grounds out 3-1 Inning over
nji232 - July 2, 2008
Mulder in for STL just like I wanted, this may be interesting
nji232 - July 2, 2008
when did he get back?
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
This is his second game. I think he has been back a week. Tie Game 5-5
nji232 - July 2, 2008
rusty pitcher, tie game
could get V.V. interesting…
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
I think his first game back was Mon
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
When he made his maximum number of rehab starts...
...and couldn’t really stay on the DL any longer.
cwyers - July 2, 2008
Fonty grounds out
not much offense through 4 against this guy…not a good sign.
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
5-5 in StL
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
And still runners on the corners!
Fukumania - July 2, 2008
Hooray! Boo! Hooray! Boo!
I’m conflicted
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
i'm hoping for a long game
where everyoe empties their benches/bullpens and an eventual cardinal’s loss.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
What do you think Ron's doing?
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
feeling just as conflicted as us
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
I'm not conflicted
I have no problem with this. Ron needs to let 1969 go!
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
dare you to say that to his face
he’ll cry and you’d feel awful
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
I'd vote for him for HoF though
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
From the parts of This Old Cub I've seen
Favorite one:
Guy e-mails Pat and Ron: “My girlfriend is a Mets fan and wonders why Cubs fans hate them so much. What can I say to make her understand?”
Ron: “Dump her.”
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
LOL
that’s gold.
Bump Bailey - July 2, 2008
i love santo.
that is sound advice!
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 3, 2008
thank the good lord
for an earlier game tomorrow.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
+1
Just be glad you live in CT
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
baseball should be played in the sunshin
not at midnight
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
me too
Madison Cub Fan - July 2, 2008
I actually prefer the 7ish times
Boss works in same room and sits behind me, so all I can do on afternoon games is slyly check Gameday every now and then.
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
In Alaska, they do both at the same time!
Once per year.
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
6-5 Mets
Shanghai Badger - July 2, 2008
Yay! Ugh.
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
Horray for sac flies!
Fukumania - July 2, 2008
Off Mulder
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 2, 2008
Bowker hits Marmol in the Dugout with a foul ball and then gets a base hit
nji232 - July 2, 2008
Why's Marmol in the dugout?
cwyers - July 2, 2008
The geniouses that built this ballpark forgot to make a bullpen. So they all chill in the dugout until they have to warm up
nji232 - July 2, 2008
really?
that’s weird!
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 2, 2008
But you can get SPLASH HITS!!!111!!
So it’s all good
cocknfire - July 2, 2008
Was he hurt?
Jayo525 - July 2, 2008
Good Ol' Mark Mulder just gave up the lead
