From Sullivan's Winter Meeting Notes package today:

Extra innings: The Brewers are willing to sign ex-Cub Ryan Dempster for two years, but he is holding out for three.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-1204-baseball-bits--20121204,0,5038130.story

That would be so awesome.

I hope they give him four just to make sure they've got him locked down.

He'll get four from the Yankees after Jim Hendry convinces Brian Cashman it's the smart move.

If Dempster pitches like Rangers Dempster I'm all for it. But he's going to have a hot stretch wherever he pitches next year. Let's not pretend the guy is Jason Germano.

I wouldn't advise that. You would be crazy to let Dempster work on your Volvo, but Jason Germano might be your guy.

Now as far as Justin Germano, he has a bit more in common with Dempster, but the Canadian is better at most things pitching related. I'm pretty sure Germano does a better Harry Caray though.

Now I feel bad. Sorry Jamon Germany.

He started 12 games for the Cubs last year and I haven't a fucking clue who he is.

Not only do I know who he is, but I was actually present in person for one of his two wins last year.  Seriously, what are the chances?

As I clicked "post" on my comment, I wondered which fucking pedant would point out that the chances were 1 in 81.  So, that's answered.

For what it's worth, my money was on Thrill.

"Milt has added another rich chapter to WGN Radio's history, and we thank him for his service," Jeff Hill, WGN's interim general manager, said in a statement. "Though Milt will not be a full-time program host, he will continue to be a show contributor and have a presence at the station."

He's 87.
