Hey everybody, David did a nice job helping the cubs to win 3 games in a row. They sucked for a while before that so there is progress there and I tip my cap to him. But, it's time to at least triple that winning streak. I joined more than 10 years ago but I'm a game thread virgin. But just like a trump/pence logo I am sure that I can help the cubs penetrate the win column again. The Cubs play & Jon Lester is scheduled to pitch. Jon is a seasoned veteran. He's hard nosed and pitched in lot of games and has a "no nonsense" attitude i believe. He's also a cancer survivor but ironically enjoys shooting and killing animals at times. perhaps the deer below had terminal cancer, but i'm not sure anyone will ever know for sure. Regardless, he is a good pitcher and you can look up his stats at sites like Fangraphs yourself. http://www.mossyoak.com/images/blogs---pro-staff/lester5_hdr.jpg?sfvrsn=0 VS. The hated Mets & Steven Matz is scheduled to pitch. Steven is not seasoned because he's only 13 (and sort of favors a prepubescent Barney Fife). Matz is pretty good too, normally, but I'm confident he won't be tomorrow. http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files/2015/05/steven-matz-mlb-new-york-mets-photo-day.jpg All true cubs fans hate the Mets for years like 1969 and most recently last year Cubs win 6-1.
