Dempster's Daughter

Was this mentioned here already, and I just missed it? Sounds like a pretty rough thing to have to go through, while remaining with the team.

this is what i was referring to way back when i said i thought he may miss a start after she gave birth.

sorry to hear my sources were right.

Yeah, I read about this yesterday. Sounds as though she'll be fine long-term, but damn must that be a scary experience to go through. Good thing they have access to the best doctors and coverage.

Hopefully, things will turn around for his family and his season as well.

I really don't think he is getting enough credit for pitching through this. I travel all the time for work, and although I don't make $13 million a year, there is no way I could do my job worrying about what he is dealing with and still go out and do my job. He has gone into the at least the sixth in all but one start, and is running off an era just a tic above 4.00. With everything he has dealt with my cap goes off to him.
