He is the worst fundamentally sound pitcher in the game. Boy, he has some deep rooted mental issues with throwing to first. Pretty crazy.

He should try hypnotism. I saw it work on a TV show once.

Why can't this team give Lester any run support? Is it asking to much to go get 4 or 5 runs against Cravy?

Ok, I can see you're being sarcastic but Steve Blass actually tried that along with other things as well....nothing worked and he was done. He was an All-Star who almost won a World Series MVP....simply and very suddenly could no longer throw a baseball accurately. Steve Sax was another one but he was an infielder.

I think the Cubs want me to start to believe they will never lose again. This is insane. It's been so very long since I've seen a stretch of Cubs baseball like this.

In a 1 game WC I am 100% in on Arrieta. I don't want the Pirates to run around all night long with the season on the line

I love me some Lester, but damn these issues need to be fixed before October or he's going to give up a bunch of runs against good teams

I was wondering when this would start happening to Lester...I don't watch much American league play but you damn sure better be able to hold runners in the National League or teams will run on you.

I gotta hand it to Maddon, he sure keeps everyone in the game. Any reliever can be and will be used at any time...actually a pretty good strategy. Keeps team unity at a premium.

Home run #5! That was a month's worth in previous years.

This one will make it 7 in a row but what's even more impressive is that they had just come off a 6 game streak....it's 13 out of 14 now!
