This team has no back end starting pitching and no middle relief. Last night was a great example of that. And tonight is headed down the same path

Definitely the weakness, and the only reason why they are an 85-win team this year, and not ready to be a real contender quite yet.

The selfish part of me wants the Cubs to make a trade to get another starter .

The baseball fan in me wants them to stand pat and build a dynasty.

I still think they can go over 82.5 as is but it's going to be a sweat all the way till the final week of the season.

I freaking love Russel thou. That guy is a stud. Hes got "it".

Although they had to give up that 3rd starter that they desperately need to get him.

Don't see any downgrading....... this is still an 85 win team with a possible wildcard

Numbnuts doesn't read the threads, he just blindly bumps them based on their title.

No one in the thread said anything about the Cubs having legitimate title aspirations this year.

Very nice to be back in the W column, as Lester gets his second straight.

Arietta on the hill tomorrow to go for the series split.

This was a major sweat and can't believe it came through. Looked very bad there as he had 2 after 4 and 3 after 5. 2 in the sixth and got the last man he was going to face in the 7th.

STRAIGHT BET
[89315] TOTAL o5½-145 (J LESTER K`S vrs J LESTER K`S)
( ACTION )

Started exacting a measure of revenge on the Brewers for last week with a series-opening W tonight.

Holy Cow.

He hit a home run.

Time to bring up a few of those studs from the farm to see what they can do.

Back in the W column today, as Bryant and Rizzo go back to back in the first and Lester posts his 3rd straight win.

Cubs fans are hoping to get used to this recap.
