CBS' Jon Heyman on Somebody Else's Problem.

http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/23223283/ryan-dempsters-worst-crime-making-arod-look-like-a-calm-hero

Correction on Heyman's headline, Dempster's worst crime is that he's an unfunny asshole who is completely convinced the entire world loves and adores his act and certainly didn't get sick of it with 10 minutes of its debut.

Basically, he's the Jim Belushi of baseball.

Vigilante justice Dempster stlye! Plunk every player who juices. This could take a while. Especially in the AL, where they'll have to line the pitchers up in the bullpen to drill them in the ass.

He'll have to start pitching batting pratice.

Simulated games. Or just some good old fashioned "towel drills" in the shower. #Rimshot (||)

Sure, but if they do away with bringing in participants from season 43 of Dancing with the Stars to sing the stretch and replace it with Harry on the video boards, I'm all for it.

The real Harry Caray on the video board, sure, a little hokey, but I can tolerate. Humoring Dempster's "comedy" act, not so much. That ship has sailed, been hit with a torpedo, sank, and made into a fish toilet long ago.

He's pitching for Team Canada.
They played Team USA yesterday and he managed to record one out while letting a lot of guys on base and a handful of them to score.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

I like that the Dominican team is stocked with studs but that the US team has a bunch of losers.   Seems even.

The pitching is a little light but if you're telling me this lineup has a bunch of losers...uhhh:

C Buster Posey
1B Paul Goldschmidt
2B Ian Kinsler/Daniel Murphy
3B Nolan Arenado
SS Brandon Crawford
LF Christian Yelich
CF Adam Jones
RF Giancarlo Stanton

What the fuck are you smoking? That is the best catcher in the game playing next to potentially the best first baseman (partial to Rizzo myself for obvious reasons), the two best offensive second basemen in the game not named Jose Altuve, a third baseman who is only not the best at his spot in the NL because Kris Bryant exists, a shortstop who has been worth ten wins the last two years, a 5 win left fielder, and Giancarlo fucking Stanton in RF. Center Field is kinda meh with Jones and McCutchen both being in their decline phase but that roster would win like 110 games.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

The Dominican team has Johnny Cueto and 17 relievers.

If they used their optimal lineup based on last years bWAR (Kinsler at 2B), that lineup was worth 35.5 WAR last year from those 8 guys alone. The Cubs top 8 guys managed 32.7 bWAR last year.
