6/12 Cubs (Lester) @ Braves (Gant) 12:35 PM CT WGN/670

[UMFan83]

See Cubs its that easy. Just hit it out of the park.

 

Lester continues his awesome year against what I have to assume is a 50+ year old former Braves star Ron Gant.

This will be our last game at Turner Field.

 

I enjoyed the even outfield and 2003. Thanks for the memories.

[bukie]

Turner Field will have been part of the Braves history about the same amount of time as Chipper Jones.

What has he done every single other year of his life then? If this year is frustrating him the way the Cubs are playing in the last month or so (ya know, the 15-10 stretch, .600 win percentage, 97-win pace which is the same # of games they won last year) then how frustrated is he when the Cubs are actually terrible, the way they've been most of his life? I know, expectations come into play, but there's no way you should legitimately be frustrated that a team is winning 60% of their games the last month when they were flirting with 80% the 43 games before that.

Lester throws a no-hitter tonight.

So much for Vogelbach slimming down. Holy crap.

[Cubswin11]

Have they said if they are working on anything specific with Russell since he seems to be getting quite a bit of time off recently with his struggles (seems like he's sitting about 1 game a series for the past two weeks or so)?

[Tim]

okay. I have a new most annoying pitcher to watch.

[Cubswin11]

What in the horsefeathers is this windup

[Tim]

Can't wait to see what he does with a runner on.

[Tim]

I have no idea how that's even legal.

[Derwood]

We need to dong the hell out of this fidgety spaz

[Tim]

The first pitch he did a mini version of the leg thing. I thought for certain that was a balk.

[Cubswin11]

I've never wanted to dong a pitcher to death more than this numbskull

[Tim]

Yeah, we need to crush this guy.

[David]

lol this is a decent start

[Derwood]

Nobody beats the Riz

[Tim]

It's so nice to have Rizzo back.

[Tim]

Zobrist's slump has me sad.

[Tim]

holy crap what a horrible call on the second pitch

[UMFan83]

Dammit.
