07/11 White Sux (Sale) @ CUBS (Lester) 3:05 CDT, ABC7

[cubscott34]

It's this douche:

 

 

vs. this stud:

 

 

The Cubs have shown all year that they can hang with any pitcher. Today Mr. Sale gets introduced to Mr. Soler and Mr. Bryant, who great him with dongs. Cubs win 5-1. Go Cubs!!

[Derwood]

Lester gives up 3 hits and 0 ER in 8 IP, but the Cubs lose 1-0 on *dicerollcloseroftheday* throwing error

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-10 (0.231) on Sat 11 July at home ..........

Go CUBS !!

[PackLandVA]

Sale gets career high in Ks with 15. Cubs don't muster enough runs to win.

[Sammy Sofa]

Cubs win in very stressful fashion, 2-1.

[d_money]

Sale gets drilled in the ribs in his 2 AB and has to leave the game. His skinny frame is exposed in an NL game. Cubs go onto win 5-2 behind Soler's 3 RBI.

[Soul]

I'll be on the edge of my seat, waiting for our 5 hits and praying one of them is a 2 run homer.

[DiamondMind]

Sale is going to have 25 K's

FINALLY lester starts vs a lhp and ross is on the dl

[Schwarber Fan]

FINALLY lester starts vs a lhp and ross is on the dl

 

Montero caught his last start.

[Sammy Sofa]

Flip Castro and Russell and run with that until Baez shows up and/or trades happen.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

FINALLY lester starts vs a lhp and ross is on the dl

 

Montero caught his last start.

It wasn't against a lefty, which is the only time it makes sense for Ross to catch.
