Pretty much what everyone was expecting will happen during spring training.  Kerry Wood, Carlos Marmol, and Ryan Dempster will all battle it out for the closers role for the Chicago Cubs.  I would hope that either Wood or Marmol are the closer, with the other guy being the setup man.  I don’t want Dempster anywhere near the mound for the Chicago Cubs.

Who do you want to be the closer for the Chicago Cubs? Leave a commend and let us know!

There has been another prediction from a Cubs pitcher at the beginning of Spring Training.  Last year Carlos Zambrano said he would win the Cy Young award and the Cubs would win the World Series.  Well of course neither of those things happened.  And now this year, on the first day of that pitchers and catchers reported, Ryan Dempster said the Cubs will end the 100 year draught and win the World Series.

As I read that, I just think what in the hell are you talking about Dempster?  The team would be better off without you on the roster in my opinion.  I do wish Dempster the best as he is still with the Cubs, but c’mon how many fans out there can really say they want Dempster on the team this year?  I suggest he get some control of the ball and actually help this team out in the beginning of the season, and stop saying the Cubs will win the world series.

Cubs fans, what do you think about Dempsters comments?  Good to be thinking that way?  Or would you rather just have him be quite and get ready for the season?
