Sara’s Diary, Day 43 without baseball: An interview with Ryan Dempster
Ryan Dempster hosts Off the Mound at the 2020 Cubs ConventionYesterday the Governor of Illinois extended the state’s stay at home order to May 30 and as the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on one of the things I’ve noticed is that it can be hard to tell one day from the next. However, for the next few weeks Cubs fans will want to set a reminder on Friday evenings at 7 p.m. CT to be sure they tune into Marquee Sports Network for a six-episode run of Ryan Dempster’s late night talk show “Off the Mound.” The former Cubs pitcher was kind enough to chat with me for a few minutes earlier this week about what he’s been up to during the pandemic and what fans can expect from the show.
