Cubs Live Game Thread: Can Dempster Save This Trainwreck?

And by “save,” I don’t mean make them win. At this point, “save” means can he keep me watching past the 3rd inning?

Only time will tell.

I really never thought we’d be in a situation where I’d be begging Ryan Dempster to pitch like an “ace,” yet here we are.

With wins today, the Cubs can split the series with the Brewers. Unforunately, they’re looking at beating Zack Greinke and Yovanni Gallardo.

It could happen.

Anyhoo, here’s today’s lineup:

DeJesus DF
Barney 2B
Castro SS
Soriano LF
Stewart 3B
LaHair 1B
Soto C
Byrd CF
Dempster P

First pitch is at 1:20 pm CT on WGN.

Go Cubs.

    Wow, Julie Tweeted that it was 1-0 6 minutes ago, but mlb.tv just finally showed that. Didn’t realize it was that much of a lag.
