Pittsburgh packs up and leaves the country.

Wtf, now I like that penguin!

just made myself a mean sandwich, and it ended up dropping on the floor with the bun open

are you a pirates pitcher?

Lester's not even sweating. How?

I wish, I wouldn't have to make my own sandwiches then

Heyward's been impressive the last few months. If only we could delete may

Poor Almora, he's the only one who hasn't gotten on base.

Hey Pie Rats, if you haven't fled the thread, which position player do you want to see pitch?

Guess this makes up for Alzolay's last start

damn he crushed that one

>Len jinxing Lester
Thanks a lot Len...

Alzolay is falling apart after that start against the pirates. Yesterday he gave up 6 walks and hit two batters in Iowa.

Schwarber had it, umpball if they don't overturn

Hey good job schhwarbie you gave it your all that's all I ask hell of a job!

NY Umpball

What the fuck is up with Baez and these little loopy passes? You’re throwing the ball like a fairy!

>Clearly out at first
>Ump rules safe
>Cubs can't challenge now
Umps don't want Lester to survive this inning.

Maddon threw that challenge away doubling down on that fat fuck.

He caught it, it's not Maddon's fault the umps and NY are blind.

another highlight reel dive by schwarbie

Lester almost made it through 7, but the defense got umped.

It was Vegas odds against that call being overturned. My dad knew it. I knew it. Maddon should have known it and Schwarber’s a fat POS.

>t. butthurt rat
The blues are doing everything to keep you in the game and you still can't score in chunks.

I’m enjoying the Kintzler redemption arc lads

Which is uncharacteristic of baez..

Jesus christ WGN nobody wants to watch some fat fuck eat ice cream

A lot of shaky defense and a few bullpen issues, but the overwhelming offense in the 1st and Lester's solid performance plow over everything.

But that game ending double play, spectacular

Nice double play to end it.

Not to the program director: show the hot womens instead.

You are now imagining the HoF slugger that an Outfielding Lester is in an alternate reality

[W]hat a play to end the game !
The Cubbers are back!!!

Ok, nice game, now GTFO!

I want him, Greinke, Bumgarner, and Samardzija in a pitchers HR derby
Its amazing how far Lester has come, man couldnt hit a ball when he joined the cubs

He was in this thread and read my complaint about how they only showed women earlier.
I apologize for nothing.
