I'm just here for my weekly ******** that blackout rules are stupid
Agreed, I should have clarified I meant as a package deal. LaSella + Candy + Baez = controlled starting pitcher or some package similar to that
I actually thought it was a good game all things considered. For whatever reason, Joe gave Schwarber and Happ an off day, even though they just had one on Saturday. Cubs had a lot of good hits tonight, just couldn't get those hits to score runs. When your throw out a lineup that is a little off from the norm, that will happen.
Yeah, it was kind of funny Saturday. Now is just odd obsession.
It's even weirder when you factor in what occurred in the previous game that series. Did you really expect the Cubs to put weather decisions in the hands of that umpiring crew after the ******** they pulled?
Yeah, exactly. The one thing that gets overlooked is the fact that it rained up until about Noon on Saturday, so the start of that game was going to be delayed regardless. With a chance of rain in the forecast, the fact that attendance would of been horrible, and that they had no chance to fix the field from the umps letting them play through the rain on Friday as it rained up until Noon on Saturday, it was a pretty easy call. But if they Brewers want to keep crying conspiracy and conclude that the Cubs were just afraid the play the Brewers (LOL), have at it.
Schwarber just demolished a ball onto Sheffield.
That's part of why it's so frustrating to watch him struggle. When he squares a ball up, it goes a damn mile.

What a performance from Lester tonight.

That might've been Lester's best performance as a Cub, which is pretty incredible
