Ultimately I am trying to stay level headed and going with occam's razor with the Dempster situation. Dempster got pissed off that he found out about the trade from reproters and not the Cubs and so is ticked off right now. Cubs are back tracking to try to placate Dempster and give him a chance to make a decision and we will find out in a few days. Honestly though Dempster being pushed back to Friday wouldn't be out of the question to give him more time.
Sullivan had basically nothing to update except he said that the Cubs were going to tell Dempster when he got to the clubhouse, but Bowman breaking the story led to this. Don't know if Sullivan was speculating when he said that, but he sounded pretty definitive. As far as what the hold up, Sullivan said basically that he didn't know what the deal was. Speigel gave him both the theory of holding out for an extension or that he just wants to go LAD, and basically it is up to Dempster and only Dempster knows.
