Jon Lester must be a blast at parties.http://deadspin.com/jon-lester-is-not-happy-about-the-nacho-man-1818807336
He's been spending too much time with Lackey.
I understand it when it is happening during a game and a guy doesn't want his focus interrupted. If he snapped at Addison in the dugout - no problem. But to be a douche in comments AFTER the game? Says a lot about Lester.Which reminds me of the single thing that has bugged me more than any other is sports this year. Ron Coomer calling Lester "Johnny". Not once during a game but over and over and over..... ad nauseum. Sometimes a dozen times in an inning.
Does Justin Wilson even make the playoff roster at this point?
His last week or so was promising. Hopefully this is just a blip, but he needs to prove himself in the next 5 games to be on that roster. Problem is that after Montgomery and Duensing, it's him or Zastryzny if you want another lefty in the pen.
Every Cubs starter lost 1-3 MPH on his fastball this season. Hmm...
It's a relatively old staff. I would assume this is natural decline. I doubt they had a powwow saying "Hey, we won the World Series, let's get off the juice." Or it could be a pitching philosophy change to not throw as hard to go deeper in games. Who knows. Anomalies happen all over the place. A career fringe MLB player in Scooter Gennett just picked this year to take steroids and hit almost 30 homers? I don't think steroids is the answer to every variance.
Maybe if it was 1 of their 5 starters. All 5? Hmm...
I swear to god I'm going to pistol whip the next person that engages wades on this.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
