6/18 World Champion Cubs (Lackey) @ Pirates (Taillon) 12:35 CT CSN/MLBN/670

[We Got The Whole 9]

No sweat for Tony

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I like Jon Jay.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I also really like Anthony Rizzo!

[UMFan83]

So lefty comes in and gives up a single, HR and 2B to the lefties he faces and gets both guys batting right handed out. Nice

[Derwood]

FUN FACT: As I was leaving PNC park on Friday I noticed that they have a Wade LeBlanc banner hanging outside the stadium.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Holy horsefeathers CJ almost died

Not just anyone can replace Sean Rodriguez. Maybe htye figured people would see LeBlanc and automatically think of Friends. All about that subversive advertising

[Tim]

Rondon looked sharp that inning. Would love to see more of that.

[SpongeWorthy]

That's a strong dude

[Derwood]

That did not look like a homer off the bat

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Hurray we won a road series! \:D/

[weis21]

duke will lead the cubs back to the promised land

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Nice win.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Good win. Keep them bats going.

So the Cubs, of course, lose the game I get to go to; I'm pretty sure the last 6 games I have been to they have lost, including a WS game.

 

Still, it was a fun time; I always love going to PNC and at least game #2 was a good one that they should have won instead of a parade of sadness. I almost got killed by Rizzo's line drive foul ball on the 1B side in the 1st inning; it nailed the hand/face of the guy in front of me and bounced about 5 feet down.

I was there today. Hot as horsefeathers out there, and of course I didn't have seats under the shadows of the stands. My son's first major league game, and he got to run the bases afterward. Guys, I saw the Cubs in person as the defending World Series Champs!

Assuming a 33 start season (his career high), Lackey is on pace to give up 47 home runs this season, which would be 1 behind the NL season record of 48 set by Jose Lima and 3 short of the all time record of 50 by Bert Blyleven.

 

Yay?

 

Bert blyleven is a hall of famer so this means lackey is actually good whoa
