Felt like Hawks were playing in a bit of shock after 3rd period. Sneaked out of 1st OT alive. Now round 2. Whew :S 10:34:31 PM June 08, 2013 from Twitter for Android

Dempster Right Choice For Opening Day

By bullpenbrian - March 22, 2012 - 4:00 pm Leave a comment.

Even if Dale Sveum isn’t saying it, the Cubs Opening Day start was Ryan Dempster’s to lose.

That’s the only way to explain Sveum’s ‘open’ competition for the rotation’s No.1 spot between Dempster and Matt Garza.

Otherwise, Sveum has a no-brainer decision selecting Garza, a 28-year-old stud who was the Cubs best starter in 2011, vs. the soon to be 35-year-old Dempster coming off a career-worse 14-loss season.
