4/7 Cubs! (Lackey) @ Diamondbacks (De La Rosa) 8:40 PM CSN+ WSCR

[imb]

nevermind, lackey's wife was a saint!

[Schwarber Fan]

Lackey has nothin tonight

[TruffleShuffle]

at least if lackey turns out to be horrible we don't have to feel bad about hating him because he's a nice guy or whatever

[Andy]

So we are going to need another starting pitcher, huh?

We've got loads of them. Wood, Warren, Richard, etc

[Thusly Boned]

Soler gets that run in

 

Or he strikes out. But regardless I'd certainly have preferred he or even Szczur.

[SchwarberDaddy]

Theo is searching through the trash for the receipt for Lackey.

[Ski]

How about you learn what a shutdown inning is, Lackey?

[UMFan83]

6 ER in 2.2 IP.

[CubInOK]

Edwin Lackey [expletive] blows.

Lky

[illiniguy]

Man, Lackey doesn't have anything tonight. Yikes.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

This ballpark is annoying. Our outfielders have probably run 3 miles already.

[Andy]

Another line rocket. Edwin flashbacks abound

[UMFan83]

6 ER in 2.2 IP. We could have resigned Jaxon to do that

[Thusly Boned]

I really hate games in Arizona. The games are blacked out, horsefeathers always seems to go sideways, and I have to listen to Coomer wax moronic about it.

[17 Seconds]

lackey making the injury worse by reminding us that it will be harder to trader soler/baez for a pitcher if he ends up being ass

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Lackey? More like... Lackey?

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, the Arizona feed works fine; guess Cubs fans were swamping the other one. Things I've learned; everyone at the ballpark gets 3 free beff tacos from Taco Bell when the Diamondbacks score 5 runs in a game.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

what's a "beff" taco?

[Omar]

Please let that be Lackey's last inning.

[David]

Guys his nickname is 3am because he can wake up at 3am and hit anybody. Except for [expletive] kicker Rubby de la rosa

 

who?

[Gilby]

Theo needs to stop signing John Lackey.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I mean, I hate to overreact to one game, but you already have the whole wife/cancer thing against you. And you are a goofy-looking, redneck pud. And you just seem despicable. And then in your first game with us, you are garbage. And you are responsible for the death of one of my favorite players. Not a good start, Lackey.

[mul21]

Any chance the crappy AZ air is a problem for his breaking stuff and there's really nothing to worry about?

[David]

i like addy

His command is terrible today. That's a positive because even if his stuff declined you wouldn't expect it to evaporate overnight, so it'll improve. If his stuff was flat/not good then ballpark might explain it but age-specific decline could too.
