Dempster Right Choice For Opening Day

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.
