THT Daily: Close and Lateby Matthew CarruthSeptember 15, 2007 Major League News for September 15Player News Yesterday’s Results Today’s Games Standings Stats You can always find the most recent THT Daily at http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/content/thtdaily/ Player NewsPlayer news items are provided by RotoworldRyan Dempster was pulled from the ninth inning of a 5-3 game against the Cardinals on Friday after giving up two homers and a third baserunner. Dempster entered the ninth with the score 5-1, but he gave up homers to Jim Edmonds and Ryan Ludwick. Yadier Molina singled with two outs after Ludwick's blast, so Bob Howry was brought in and recorded a save by retiring just one hitter. Dempster has been awful of late, yielding runs in six of his last nine outings while taking two losses and blowing a save. Manager Lou Piniella isn't shy and he's already come close to removing Dempster from the closer's role twice this season. The Cubs can't afford to give away any wins in the tight NL Central race, so don't be surprised if Piniella announces that Howry is his new closer this weekend.

Each "up" bar is a victory and a "down" bar is a loss. There are horizontal lines for home games and red bars represent games decided by two runs or less. "PWins" is short for Projected Wins, based on each team’s Run Differential, and is often a better measure of a team’s true strength.
