If the Cubs walk this one off, I assume Pittsburgh media will want to nuke the Cubs.

That was pretty, Javy

Wasn't that Colin Dunlap? Oh maybe. I was hoping there weren't multiple Pittsburgh meathead media guys It's Pittsburgh, what did you expect?

Rizzo should hit a home run now. Just my opinion.

A walk off with 2 outs and 2 strikes off Melancon would be amusing.

Annoying.

Agreed but it's also a 0-0 game so it's annoying giving up base runners.

Gold Glove Lester

Wow, Lester looked so young in that one.

Meanwhile Arrieta got 16 in his no-hitter.

91 through 6.

I'm annoyed his pitch count isn't pushing 100 by the 5th.

74 pitches for Lester. Time to get efficient.

Was anyone wondering what Quintin Berry was up to? [tweet] [/tweet]

LOL Locke. He was really struggling that inning and walked you on 4 pitches later. [tweet] [/tweet]

Apparently Pittsburgh media is handling the Cubs' dominance about as well as Sean Rodriguez: [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet]https://twitter.com/matt_maisel/status/731579394578362371[/tweet]

Cubs have won 7 in a row against the Pirates dating back to the last regular season game in 2015. Arrieta has won four of those games.

Vin Scully is bad but he's still far from the worst. The Sox already have a ready-made worst booth to choose. i think you're in teh same camp as me on this...i don't hate vin scully at all. i just think he's a senile boring old man as an announcer, and, for whatever reason, the whole baseball world pretends he isn't. Apparently he accidentally called Clayton Kershaw "Sandy Koufax" the other day and everyone on Twitter seemed to love it besides me.

Well, Vin Scully is incredibly overrated.

Nice hit by Heyward. Nice to see after he just missed that 2-0 pitch and fouled it back.

Lol they had 3 hits in 8 innings and somehow they all occurred in the same inning? That's total [expletive] lmao The kick GIDP to get out of the inning was fortunate. Still a great start with his command and control after the past few outings.

Hmm C: Cervelli 1B: Hosmer 2B: Phillips SS: Danny Espinoza 3B: Matt Duffy OF: Braun OF: Carlos Gomez OF Sean Rodriguez SP: Bumgarner I'm guessing you were purposely picking no Cardinals because if you could pick Cardinals and didn't name Molina your catcher... Have you seen TT in this thread? He can't stand Cervelli. I assume Tranny Tiger once saw Cervelli give a tip for a haircut.
