7/9: Cubs (Lester) at Pirates (Kuhl), 6:15 p.m. CT; TV: FOX, Radio: 670 AM

[Tryptamine]

Well Lester had never done that until a couple starts ago and now he's done it twice.

[Tim]

sheesh...we need the all star break.

 

I'd imagine that coming out of the break, Arrieta and Lester might be pushed to the end of the rotation to give them a bit of extra rest.

[soccer10k]

LOL. Here we go again.

[tawfiqmp]

Well it was fun having a lead for an inning

[Tim]

oh, boy

[Sammy Sofa]

Please just limit it to a tie game this inning. Please.

[TruffleShuffle]

Would be nice if our aces could hold a lead for a horsefeathering half inning

[Andy]

Are you kidding me

 

Come on Lester

[bcl412]

This ump is a [expletive]

[Transmogrified Tiger]

1-0 missed deep apparently

[Andy]

Lester has been getting pissy with the ump every time he throws the exact same pitch that's a quarter inch low and not getting the call. He's being consistent, give it up

It's a strike and Lester needs that call. The ump should do his job correctly.

[Tim]

Coming in late, I just now noticed that this is Lester pitching to Contreras for the first time.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

What the horsefeathers!?

[gobigred]

holy crap

[Tryptamine]

The circus is showing up early

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I don't care anymore. Whatever.

[tawfiqmp]

This team might not be good

[Andy]

The PITCHER is up. What the horsefeathers Contreras

[bcl412]

Why make that throw? Why do thing like that when you're struggling? That's just trying to force horsefeathers.

[Sammy Sofa]

What the horsefeathers, Willson.

[Tim]

oh, Willson

[soccer10k]

Why are you throwing the ball to third when nobody is covering third and you have to throw it around a batter? Good god that was dumb.

[Andy]

This team might not be good

About to be under .500 in the last 57 (yes UMF I know they were good the first 37 of that)

[Agony and Ivy]

Contreras cannot catch at the major league level. Sorry, Vinestal.
