8/16 Cubs (Lester) at Pirates (Nova) 6:05 p.m. CSN Chicago

[soccer10k]

I'm in the win column! Of course, even the blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while.

 

The Pirates had some fun a couple weeks ago when they won 11 straight games and had outside hopes at a wildcard, but they're pretty mediocre so it would be nice to crush them. Plus the Brewers and Cardinals play this weekend so if we win games, we'll pick up ground on someone.

 

GO CUBS!

[Sammy Sofa]

As I mentioned before, I'm gonna be at the Saturday and Sunday games, so the Cubs better get their wins before then.

Who is going to pitch the other 8 1/3 innings for the Cubs?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Lester already? Oh yeah they skipped Montgomery.

Quintana is pitching Sunday, so you're not costing us anything then.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, sonuva-....

 

I thought I was getting Hamels on Saturday. Dammit.

maddon is just making a sacrifice to the human umpires

[ConstableRabbit]

is zobrist dead?

He's been really bad against Nova, albeit in 39 PA.

[Brian707]

is zobrist dead?

 

 

Maybe he is from the future like Reese talking to the present day umpires about Robot umpires of the future?

Last Lester start I predicted he’d pitch well but he’s gonna suck and his arm may fall off

Crap, his arm is staying on then?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If Lester’s arm fell off his body in the next 5 minutes, the Cubs would have a better chance of winning than they do now

The Cubs before taking the field behind Lester:

 

[Sammy Sofa]

Is...is it safe to look?

Nova is horsefeathering playing with fire right now.

 

...

 

Uhhhhh, where the hell is everyone?

[Jaxbro]

Stupid park + wind = stupid game

Uhhhhh, where the hell is everyone?

 

I’m in Ohio, so naturally I’m blacked out for Pittsburgh games, because reasons.

[Sammy Sofa]

Me watching whoever the horsefeathers is pitching for the Cubs:

 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Jon Lester: Somehow Jon Lester?

[Andy]

When Lester gets those pitches off the corner, he's pretty damn good.

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, these dorks need to capitalize on the Sasquatch-like rarity that is a good Lester start.

[David]

finally someone with better than WTP
