The correct answer is both, but it happened I swear

I guess I don't recall Edmonds being a Lackey like red ass, was he?

85 games / 298 PAs // OB% = .369 / OPS = .937 / 19 HRs / 45 BBs / 58 Ks // 1.1 WAR (defensively not so great)

Part of the year he was with the Padres .... he sucked ass when he was there.

Yeah he came in and played pretty well as a midseason pickup in the CF in a year that the Cubs had a need there. (Thanks Corey Patterson)

.256/19/49 with a .369 OBP at 38 years old. SOLID.

Beats me maybe he punched the guy after the picture was snapped. I remember him being a punk ass on the Cards, but my bright burning hatred for the Cards could cloud my otherwise clear eyed judgment. But it's a similar situation to the Lackey thing where a hated dipshit comes in and does decent work near the end of their career for the Cub.

Lackey is an asshole

The pitching version of A.J.

I didn't need to read that; thanks.

No HRs for the Coob since Friday. Run differential in that span is still good (a lot of that from Friday though) ... +12 right now.

Smith and Montgomery giving up home runs in their Cubs' debuts. Way to fix the bullpen!

I thought maybe Lackey could go an entire start without giving up a home run but NOPE. Fuck this guy, he sucks.

Watch it. He's got a long memory.

Really looks like most of the bullpen fliers Theo went after this season have been real turds. Saw Ogando was just released by the Dbacks, maybe they could reform him in time for the playoffs.

Cubs have like 20 guys for all the pen spots but only 3 or 4 produce. That's not good.

Why did Zobrist give himself up like he was Lester?

Nice comeback win for the sweep! Can't wait for some sour ass Sox fans to stop by to tell me how worried I should be rooting for the team with the best record in baseball.

I guess. Talk about giving a game away. And with 2 outs.

Walt only checked in once today?

Too much bread and a little bit dry. Overall, it was petty good but could have used some Italian salad dressing.

Wife had a dream last night I was choking her with oxygen tubing I use at work. I asked her what she did and if I completed the deed. She was speechless. Guess I got her.
