This is the first time the Cubs have ever faced shark right? Fun stuff -
http://media.giphy.com/media/xKy2w6LehxxHa/giphy.gif 2008 team went on an 18-4 run after the 113th game so we will have to keep going at this pace to catch them.

13 of 14 I believe. 6 game winning streak, loss, 7 game winning streak

ITS A DONG PARTY AND EVERYONES INVITED

Wonder if the offensive hot streak is ending. 2 runs on Sunday, 6 on Tuesday, 3 yesterday in extras, 1 today so far. They looked great the first 4 innings Tuesday but then went silent the rest of the game. Yesterday they had 4 hits, tonight they are not getting hits against this shitbag
-
Shocker, more lineouts directly to OFs
-
2 lineouts nearly right at fielders that inning

I said this before and got bashed but I will say it again lester gets teh bump. Okay so people don't listen to 670 much but just today Bruce Levine was on there interviewed and was asked about this. He replied "Everything I have heard is if the cubs make the wildcard playoff, Lester will get the start because Arrieta has never pitched more than 157 innings and in the playoffs" .. he also said some really funny comments about how Castro is basically never going to be traded from Chicago because of his 200 hit season in 2011 and the fact is that the guy is way better than his performance.. Bruce Levine is an idiot, but still thats what HE heard. (re: the 1 game playoff) for the record, I want arrieta on the bump for that game! The last time you brought this up you said it was because he makes too much money to not pitch big games. What bruce says makes a little sense. Even if you include the minors hes only pitched at most ~180 innings in a season. He's on pace for like 220+ innings right now. But regardless, whats the difference between him pitching a 1 game playoff and him pitching in the LDS? Ideally, the Cubs can continue to stretch their lead and can allow Jake to get more rest in between starts.

ground out, IF single, strikeout, IF single, walk, flyout leads to 1 run scored and runners on 2nd and 3rd when the inning ended.
-
Why would they stop when its clearly working and clearly effecting Lester?
-
I forgot where but I read someone say that the only actual baseball skill Lester has is pitching (which obviously is a great skill to have and has made him a lot of money), but everything else a baseball player should do he is terrible at, fielding, throwing to other bases, hitting, bunting, probably base running if he ever got on base, etc.
-
Lester not making it easy on himself by insisting on a second pitcher, unable to throw to first and not covering first. The first one possibly killed a big inning, the second and third allowed a harmless hit to come around and score to tie the game.

Yippity Yip Yips

I don't know why Lester doesn't bunt here. At least give him a chance to do something mildly productive. Oh nevermind he decided to do it with 2 strikes and then whiffed badly.

Ross and Lester: Where promising innings go to die
-
that erases a soler line drive that went right to a fielder
-
that would have been a strike to Soler
-
Cubs telecast says 10-0. Check your facts, Fred! ;) CUBS are 9-0 when Coghlan hits in the third spot CUBS are 25-24 when Rizzo hits in the third spot CUBS are 6-2 when Soler hits in the third spot CUBS are 1-0 when Montero hits in the third spot CUBS are 23-22 when Bryant hits in the third spot If I'm wrong, you're gonna have to show me where. BR has Soler only starting 7 games hitting 3rd
-
In favor of who? Castro? Yeah...you can tell Maddon really doesn't like the defensive alignment considering he replaces Coghlan almost every game in the later innings. As long as Schwarber is providing value with the bat, it makes perfect sense but I could see Maddon going away from it occasionally if Schwarber goes into a deeper adjustment period Really really premature though...its only been like 3-4 games where he's struggled, a blip at this point that could be erased as early as his next PA
-
terrible jump by fowler
-
Dammit Schwarber is going to struggle just enough to justify Maddon taking him out of the lineup more often isnt he?
