5/23/2018 Cubs (Lester) vs. Tribe (Plutko) 7:05 CST NBC Sports Chicago

[philosophizer75]

Welp, yesterday was a whole lot of:

:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

 

But that was yesterday. Today the Cubs are gonna get to this rookie Plutko and Lester is gonna go 7 innings, allowing less than 5 hits and only 1 run. 7-2 Cubs.

Go Cubs Go!

[PackLandVA]

Can’t decide if which theme to go with:

 

Cubs were basically shut out yesterday, not counting the 9th inning tater by Ian “don’t call me Albert Fish” Happ, so they’ll end up raking tonight for a baker’s dozen; or

 

They get silenced by an unknown.

 

Hmmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions.

[Sammy Sofa]

I REALLY don't like seeing that much of Lester's taint.

It’s the stripes. Does it no justice.

[Omar]

out of all the jerseys one could buy, WHY

[David]

maybe it's his last name

 

i know a guy whose last name is johnson who occasionally wears a reed johnson

 

pretty dorky tho

[Ding Dong Johnson]

maybe it's his last name

and he was born on the 32nd

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I bought a Schwarber shersy abouta week before he blew his knee into a thousand pieces. The amount that I have worn that shirt has not really depended on his status with the Cubs over that time. If we shipped him to Cleveland for Salazar or whomever, I'd still be wearing it because I like the guy, and also because I'm cheap and it says "Cubs" on it.

 

I mean, if I had a Chuck McElroy Cubs jersey I'd wear that and imagine myself to be kinda cool, in a hipster doofus kind of way. That said, Baker is really pushing it.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Holy crap.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

how many is it gonna take for people to stop running on schwarber

[Cubswin11]

Best defensive LF in MLB!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Everything about that play from Kyle to Javy was amazing.

[NotSoSober]

Mother of god that was just gorgeous all around. Schwarber has a cannon and then the Javy tag as a topper

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Is the indians advance scout a scarecrow or what

[Bertz]

I've been crazy pessimistic about Lester but with how good he looked last time out plus striking out Jose Ramirez just now I'm nearly off the ledge.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ian Happ, best leadoff hitter ever

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ian Happ, dumbest baserunner ever

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Really, Happer? You dumb bastard.

[Gilby]

Take that TOOTBLAN out of his OBP
