lester's on the mound.

 

 

he pitched like horsefeathers a few days ago and he has a history of stopping losing streaks so:

 

 

as we all know, joe's lineups are never constant and usually look like this:

 

 

...so the official lineups will be posted a few hours before the game starts.

11 straight road series without a win.

 

Hopefully Lester doesn’t give up 10 ER again

 

Go cubs!

I was gunna link to Old Town Road as a sh1tpost, because...road cobs and all of that. But we need stronger medicine than that.

Caratini is OPSing 1.193 batting 8th this year, so we will win 15-1

Sitting on a 1-3 trip waiting out an off day to play the Phillies would be a disaster. They need to get this horsefeathers figured out and stop building up a lead at home to only go blow it on the road. We end the year in St Louis so that would be a bad place to keep that trend up.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

As Adrian might say to Rocky, when it comes to this game, "We can't win!"

Perhaps some might say this is the biggest game of the season.

They are must wins if they want to win the division, you can only horsefeathers the bed so long on the road before you have a bad homestand.

Cubs - 0

Reds - 0

Luis Castillo is really good and all, but his ERA isn't 0.00 so it is possible to score off him unless you're us, I guess

Bat Lester at leadoff

[Derwood]

Our hitters really love swinging at first pitches

[Andy]

Lester singles off Castillo and the inning ends in 2 pitches afterward.
