He was obviously out of gas--made an easy out at the plate and then gets pulled after giving up another run. Lou shouldn't have been talked out of sending Bradley or Soriano in to pitch hit.

This team is not going anywhere without a shakeup--maybe after a 4 game winning streak is not the time to have it. But after the next 4 game losing streak...perhaps.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't think it was obvious Dempster was out of gas.

I'd have liked to see him pinch hit for, but this was supposed to be an off day, we're in the middle of nearly a month without an off day, and we've played 100 extra innings games in the last 3 weeks. Lou's decision was not wrong.

Lou's decision was wrong. Also, if the Cubs don't score, they only have to use the pen for 2 innings anyways.
