10/09 CUBS (LESTER) @ CARDINALS (LACKEY), 5:30 PM CT, TBS

[Ski]

So glad there's another non-Cubs game after this I can unwind to.

 

I mean, the narrative is supposed to be that the Cubbies steamroll their way through the playoffs en route to breaking the curse. Not this pathetic flailing at a 36 year old.

[UMFan83]

Watch Lester get the Cubs first hit

[USSoccer]

This game needs more Javy and Soler

[dfnowak]

Lackey's no Cole, but wasn't he pretty good this year?

[Guest]

other teams blow him up for 7 or 8 runs and we can't [expletive] hit this scumbag

This has happened like once this year at best. He's good, maybe not this good, but he's good.

 

hyperbole. i know exactly how many times it's happened. he's on my keeper league team. (although he did get shelled in like 4-5 innings in his last start).

 

the point is that he has made our lineup look silly every single time he has faced us.

What does his age matter? He's a good [expletive] pitcher who has owned the Cubs this year and is owning them again so far tonight. It sucks but sometimes this [expletive] happens.

i....don't think that's a good idea

[halplm]

Lots of players play their best against rivals.

 

I'm waiting for our guys to show that...

Agreed. Soler would have donged already

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 72-41 (.637) when the opponents strike out at least 8 times.... 26-24 (.520) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

You'd rather watch Coughlan pop up a couple more times?

I think Soler is ideal for Lackey. Lackey doesn't have a mean breaking ball, he's all location.

[Ski]

I know there are many ways to be a good pitcher, but I'd rather see everyone strikeout against Kershaw than see everyone get off balance against Lackey and hit the ball weakly every time.

you mean like every series they had against st louis and pittsburgh over the last 6 weeks or whatever?

yes.

[davell]

Right now, there are Card fans out there bitching that they're no hitting us thru 5, but they've only scored 1 run and will wind up blowing this game.

 

Whoever they are, wherever they are, they're going to be correct.

[Fred Hornkohl]

P/PA through 5 inning(s)....

 

CUBS: 3.73

Cardinals: 4.16

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Yes, I expect it to continue today...

....maybe. it's not terrible logic.

[USSoccer]

Someone reboot David

[UMFan83]

Hey, as shitty as its been so far we're one swing for tying this one up...keep the faith.

[philosophizer75]

I want soler in for coghlan and Montero in for ross now. Not gonna happen, but I can still want it to happen.

[ARCubsFan]

Someone hitting for Ross please

you made it sound like you were waiting for it as though it doesn't or hasn't actually happened...you sure that's not what you meant?

[DurbanJer]

I blame Dusty Baker for this. Just cuz.
