Well, finally some good news for the Cubs.
Ryan Dempster.
He was on the open market for 4 days.
Then, Jim Hendry gave him a 4 year deal and a 4 million dollar signing bonus, and Ryan decided to stay.
After the WS prediction at the beginning of last season and the dismal playoff performance, I thought maybe he just might have had enough of Chicago.
Yes, this last playoff was, well, as revolting as it gets for you and me.
But imagine being Ryan Dempser - having your worst performance of the year at home in game one like Ryan did.
Alot of people mighta just said well, I tried...adios.
So I have a tad more respect for Mr. Dempster for hanging around, not that he didn't get a pretty awesome contract to stay.
The longer I watch this team and this city, the more I think this must be waaay up there on the hard scale of places to play.
Given the pressure and all.
I also think if you played through the last couple years here, some of that hard part musta rubbed off on you.
So welcome back, Ryan.
I look forward to your turning it around next September.
