Why do Cubs see Lester as instant hope? Top 4 starters (including JL, Arrieta, Hammel & Hendricks) 43-29, 2.76 in 99 starts in '14.

 

:-s

Holy crap Phil Rogers is a hack

 

On PtI today, Kornheiser was slamming the White Sox trading for Samardzija because of his win/loss records.

[Guancous]

I'm going to bed. Lester should announce 35 seconds later.

Im confused? Do people think Rogers was ripping the Cubs potential rotation here?

 

 

I think he is clearly explaining why this gives the Cubs instant hope with a pretty damn good rotation next year if they land Lester.

I have to work a third tomorrow, so I'll be obsessing all damned night.

Listing pitching wins and losses is a sign of hackery regardless of what their point was.

 

Him listing that record makes no sense either way because of that awesome ERA.

Haha, me too. Worked first today then third tomorrow. Lester gets my time in between.

Just finished "An American Werewolf in London" (awesome)...now onto the 80's remake of "The Blob". The night is headed down-hill fast.

American werewolf in London is so vastly underrated. Enjoy your night!!

Well if Lester decided already, this is taking quite a long time for an announcement to be made. I'm losing faith in you NoCode.

Gotta agree. While I haven't decided to completely disown him, it's getting close. The wine is helping though.

Maybe Lester's taking the time to notify all of his second cousins about the decision before he drops this bomb on the media. Some of us love our families, dude.

I still feel like he's telling the truth.

[davell]

I believe him. All it takes is for his wife, or him, to decide they better sleep on it, before announcing. Nocode wouldn't have done anything wrong whatsoever.

 

I still think we're hearing tonight though for some reason.

[Butterscup1679666578]

we've been duped

[UMFan83]

@TheCubsWord: LRT: "The perception of the people in Manchester Hyatt hotel is #Cubs are very optimistic to beat Lester to #RedSox. Follow ..."

 

This was translated from Enrique Rojas

[davell]

@BayareaSoxfan: Breaking: Red Sox and Cubs agree to split custody of Jon Lester. Lester will pitch for Sox Monday through Wednesday and every other weekend.

[UMFan83]

@GordonEdes: This was described to me as a heavyweight fight by someone involved in Lester negotiations. If so, this has to be the 15th round

We're gonna lose. Only my teams.

Loxas FWIW:

RT @TomLoxas: Cubs talking with Rockies. Cargo the big bat to entice Lester?

That or maybe when he called the Red Sox to tell them he's signing with the Cubs, they asked him to do them a favor for old time's sake and give them one last meeting before he completely closes the door. That would account for the reports of Red Sox execs' late night meeting w/Lester, as well as the "delay" of an announcement until tomorrow.
