Pirates are 7-1 in their last 2 road series.

Odd 3pm start, wonder if maddon bitched and had it moved back since they were in SD yesterday.

Lester pitching today, strange to see him with 10 losses.

The weather is warm, but no Baez. Cubs win today, i say.

I hope Joe has an actual plan for when Lester loads em up with nobody out in the first. This team can not longer tolerate the starts when he gets his dick kicked in but grinds through 6 innings to save the pen even though they are down 9-1.

And why the fuck is Almora back in the lineup. Can they just send him home so Joe will stop playing him.

Heyward sits when he's red hot. Rarely sits when he's his normal ice cold.

Because none of Schwarber, Heyward, or Zobrist can hit lefties worth shit. If they are losing, they will pinch hit for him the third time through the lineup.

Jesus, I take Cabrera as a cheap platoon option in my FanDuel contest and the fucker is the only guy who doesn't do shit in the first inning against Lester.

I refuse to watch this nonsense. I'm going to go take a nap so I can watch the Mariners beat the shit out of Dylan Covey tonight.

Lester gives up 4 in the first , Cubs hit 3 HRS to score 5 with the kid getting his first MLB jack.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

This will be a 5-hr game

Contreras with 2 dongs today. Only 3 behind Frank.

Slam time. This division is not over yet. Cards will get tight around the collar.

Schwarbs with two Ks in the same inning.

Fucking Zaidman . “ Kemp pinch hitting for Lester but what an effort by Lester today .

Are you fucking kidding me ?? 7 runs and 11 hits in 5 innings and you’re praising him? It’s this shameless ball washing that makes people hate your guts .

Wind gusting out to center, with a juiced ball. Great they're winning. But, this isn't true baseball.

Crazy game...in the first six innings, there have been no runs in 7 half-innings, and in the rest, 5,5,7,4,3.

Not too often you see Descalso hitting for Schwarber.

Get used to it, Rogue. He's next in line when Hughes retires. I hate the thought of not listening but I'm not sure I could do it.

I’m watching the replay of tie game now. Fucking Lester should have been out of the first inning with one run . With 2 outs man on 2nd one run in, started out 0-2 on the 5 hitter and ended up walking him. Then the triple and double followed . That can’t happen . Has no one to blame but himself .

I happened to hear him after the game and he was putting Lester over large because he got through 5 innings after that first inning disaster. I kept waiting for 'What A Man' to start playing behind him.

I mean, yeah, this guy is a legend for this franchise, but when shit's shit, call it shit. Hopefully Lester is just old and tired for now rather than old and tired forever.

Absolutely not. He will become the narrator voice for whatever crap they come up with for the network. He can still do a terrible job with pre and post. The replacement for Pat is Gillespie. They have been grooming him for years during spring training. He is excellent on the call and knows the cubs inside and out from his 10 years in AA with them. ZZ needs to become the guy who narrates How Its Made on the history channel.

Not sure why they haven't locked up Castellanos already.

Give him Zobrist’s money.

I don't want to hear a peep about Nick's D. He has offensively been exactly what this team has needed. They should absolutely lock him up.

Bote has no reason to beef.
