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

I really like the whole "jump on the throat of a bad team" thing in the first inning. Too bad they couldn't get a second run in. Zobrist has started getting out of his funk but the dude was almost impossible to strike out for a month so every strike out seems shocking to me.

[Tim]

Lester is way out of sync today.

Lester keeps kicking the dirt in front of the rubber, I'm guessing that idiot pitching for Braves is horsefeathering that area of the mound up with his stupid delivery Edited June 12, 2016 by Cubswin11

I can't believe they didn't send the runner. Always easier in retrospect but it would have taken a good relay and at worst they have runner at 2nd and 2 outs. At best they have 2 runs with a runner on 2nd (if they don't cut off the relay) and 1 out

was ross one of the no cup guys?

[Derwood]

Took that one square to the taint

[Tim]

Right in the wrong spot.

[NOLA]

After Ross doubled over, Chip actually just said, "A shot like that taint no fun."

[Derwood]

27 pitches in one inning on an ass-hot day? I'll be happy with 5 innings from Lester today

The Braves offense is shitty enough that Lester can probably get some quick innings if he gets a little sharper

[Omar]

Baez should play Olympic-level shot put

[Derwood]

Damn, that was this close to a Jason Kendall moment

[Tim]

Well, crap. At least he looks okay leaving the field.

[Derwood]

My god, Lackey is a mouth-breathing galoot

[soccer10k]

Lackey's a weirdo just attempting to tell a funny story.

[Cubswin11]

At least we got this dunce to 40 pitches through 2 innings

[David]

what the hell is going on

[Agony and Ivy]

Cobs

[Derwood]

*circus calliope music*

[soccer10k]

[Omar]

What the hell Zobrist?

[CubinNY]

[NotSoSober]
