5/21 Cubs (Lester) @ Giants (Cain), 6:15 PM CDT, FOX

[Andy]

First start all year to not go 5 innings. Hope our guys' looks at their pen last night pay off today.

[Agony and Ivy]

People acting as if Cain isn't going to give the lead back in the next inning or two kill me.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

First time in 48 games a starter hasn't gone at least 5. That's damn impressive.

[bcl412]

A team like ours needs some cool comebacks this year and this game is a good time to start that.

[muntjack]

I want to see a comeback that turns into a run-differential game.

[Sammy Sofa]

I think the tight zone rattled Jon.

 

Everything rattles him, unfortunately

 

What fresh nonsense is this?

[TruffleShuffle]

Pretty nice to make it this far into the season without a really atrocious outing by a SP. it happens.

[Sammy Sofa]

I am pleased that Shark still looks like some kind of dandy pirate.

[David]

Early season slump for Lester....Sucks but such is the ebb and flow of things, right? Right??

 

Slump? uhh, what?

I read this as you saying Lester has slumped to start the season.

[David]

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, I see....I thought he's been more off lately than I thought - a little more HR prone or something.

 

[Careless]

"rizzo to second. They get the lead runner"

 

lol

[Schwarber Fan]

I know he's been pretty good getting out of self-induced jams but he's been consistently rattled by tight zones, losing no-hitters, base runners running wild, etc since becoming a Cub.

[Cubswin11]

He seems like he just likes to hear himself talk more than actually caring what the substance and facts are coming out of his mouth

Isn't every starter's jam self induced?

He's rattled by losing no hitters.......

I'm a little surprised by the early HRs is all. 7 in 55 IP, Probably just early season [expletive]

 

Oh, Gotcha. To be honest, that point didn't come across at all in the original post. Well, to me it didn't. But I'm also an idiot a lot.

[David]

i dont understand this strike zone

[David]

god damnit i'm getting real sick of these pop ups against the animated corpse of matt cain

[Aaron_Kennelly]

This ump sucks. Listening to national broadcast morons sucks. Everything sucks.

[Vinestal]

People acting as if Cain isn't going to give the lead back in the next inning or two kill me.

And then the next 6 batters went 0/6... I guess people were acting right
