6/3 Cubs (Lester) vs St. Louis (Leake) 1:20 WGN

That must have been so good for Kyle, you could tell how happy he was when he got to home.

 

I know these things don't exist, but I hope that's a "turning point" moment for him and the team. (They don't exist because the last home stand felt like that anyway)

 

Normally I wouldn't think there is anything to it. And it's a very good chance there isn't here either. But for Kyle, I think his problem lately has been in large part due to him losing confidence. Early on, he was really unlucky. And he was still hitting the ball hard, and taking good ABs. But the last week or two, he's been completely out of sync -- taking bad swings, chasing pitches, and generally just looking lost. He's definitely never been in a funk like this ever in his life. So you know it's been eating at him. And it's destroying him every time he goes up to the plate.

 

If it's not a mechanical issue or anything, and he's just in the dumps, there's not much better for a jolt in confidence than that.

Fly the W! And get the brooms out tomorrow!

Wade Davis is a national treasure

Wade Davis is much sexier than Soler, IMO

Wait that minor leaguer?

Let's try and get off to a good start tomorrow and not even give them a chance to win.

The Cardinal butt hurt. Still funny.

I especially liked the "long stare into the Cardinals dugout" afterward (call by Len). I hope he give Pederson or whomever it was on the Dodgers in sprinter position the same stare after a pickoff (or just quits while he's ahead).

Yeah, I've tried decoding that nugget. Maybe he thinks Lester is now forced to throw over more often? And will go to pieces under the pressure? Maybe, he looked at it as adding one to Lester's pitch count and was happy about that? In all likelihood, he's just an idiot who watched something blow up in his teams face and defended their red ass moron manager, because he blindly agrees with whatever they do.
