Lester doesnt give 2 flying you know whats who starts the first playoff game!!

Nice work Jonny! Should have been his second CG in a row.

 

He left after 7 not 8 last start.

I haven't read through the thread yet -- and someone's probably already expressed this thought -- but do you remember when everyone was lamenting the thought of Jon Lester facing this team in the playoffs? They way I remember it, the Pirates would run all over the bases all day and Jon would basically be rendered catatonic on the mound.

haha. Thanks, I feel very welcomed.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Just can't feel confident about winning this one

 

I literally laughed out loud at this one.

I love Bryaez at 3rd, but I periodically miss A-Ram.

 

this means nothing with regard to your statement, but bryant already has had a better season than any aramis had a in a cub uniform and it would be the second best of aramis's career (2012 with milwaukee) in terms of fWAR. wow.

 

That kinda blows my mind.

Imagine Bryant and Schwarber on steroids.

Brewers are eliminated now. Sure, they were eliminated before the Cubs won, but let's just say the Cubs eliminated them by winning game 2.

 

That leaves 4 teams: Padres, Diamondbacks, Nats and Giants.

Who's dropping the ball on getting a game thread going for today?

I am going to the 9-26 game vs Pittsburgh, if my calculations are correct Lester will be on the mound and also that game could be the game the Cubs clinch a playoff spot.

That's right! I better get in when the gates open. 12:05 first pitch so it will be an early day of drinking.

Pirates fan friend of mine says that, as good as Arrieta has been, he'd rather face him than Lester in the one game because, in his words, their lineup vs. lefties is a mess.

Is Wood starting against the Cards on Saturday? ESPN's schedule page thinks so.

[woodchip2153]

so is Tree banned if he doesn't have the new game thread up by 1?
