As a Cubs fan I've been saying that for some time now. I guess I don't consider making the WS a curse breaker. Although he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, to me Bartman and the goat are still alive and kicking.

Bingo! Didn't want to address that elephant in the room as being a Sox fan would've gotten me the Spanish Inquisition...but...that's exactly what I was thinking. Chill with the fuckin celebration! There's still another series to play!

I read the article the other day... while it was a cool story... the whole thing reeked of a final celebration/mission accomplished. Lester even said when he was justifying his apparent DWI and reckless driving: "I was going down the opposite way on streets. I was telling the guys in the car, ‘If we can get away with it any night, it’s tonight."
Now we have no idea how the Indians celebrated. Maybe they had a similar thing? They weren't home though, so who knows what happened? I do know that there was a lot of coverage/attention to the Cubs' celebration itself, which is rare outside a Championship celebration.
It all probably means nothing and is just background noise... but if the Indians Win game 2, if I were a fan, I would definitely be questioning the events after the NLCS Clinching game.

I have thought about this too. I have finally decided that...they deserved to celebrate. that is a huge monkey off their backs regardless of what they might say. it was to blow off all the pent up emotion. as long as they weren't still hung over by game 1......no harm done. this is huge for Cubs fans!! their minds are back on the WS now. I am sure. Go Cubs!!!

I read that story and the first thing I thought was.....this asshat drove the wrong way down one way street OR was driving in the left lane(s) because he wanted to get home to his party and is dumb enough to admit it? Because his celebrity would make it OK if I was driving in the correct lane and saw some crazy in my lane pointed at me with his car. (No doubt driving very quickly.) I think the party at his house is awesome. I think that most of the players and some of the team employees went there to be together and celebrate is awesome. I certainly think that having superfan EV there to play some music and party with them is awesome. I think John Lester is a moron of the first degree. Admitting to do this is even dumber than doing it. (And this isn't his first rodeo, can't give him the 'Excited Kid' excuse if one were so inclined.) Glad nobody got hurt and they had a blast. Sure it had zero impact on the game...just wish I hadn't read this because now I am just going to thing "A-Hole" when I see Lester on the dot.
It is the kind of thing that can bite them in the ass publicly if they cant win the series. A lot of young guys, they will learn from it (Lester should know better).
I would bet if they lose the series and make it back next year, the celebration will be much more low key.
I'm kind of mixed when it comes to these celebrations in baseball. Celebrating a Wild Card? lame. Division title? Maybe? The Indians did this season, still were in a race for home field with Texas and Boston/Toronto/Balt.... and sleep(drunk) walked through a 12-0 (i think) drubbing the next game. Its a long season, they deserve to celebrate a tough Division Title, and better yet, a Pennant. For me, I would feel very conflicted. In Hockey, it is kind of lame, but the Conference Winning team often doesnt even touch the trophy to say "work to be done". While the Indians were celebrating, interviews with players and manager/coaches, it was almost somber-sounding and everyone repeated there was work to do and there is nothing they want more than to accomplish the WS victory with this group of players.
its still a lot of assumptions/perception based on limited knowledge and facts though

Lots of strong opinions on numerous topics on the board today.
I don't see it as a big deal. He lives very close to Wrigley. Not even far enough to start going fast. Then factor in he also traveled down alleys. Aside rom that, Wrigleyville was still hopping at this point. Kind of lIke leaving a concert, people try to carefully maneuver their way out as quickly as possible...regardless of how long others wait because of their impatience.
To think "A-Hole" every time you see him now us a little absurd because he broke a traffic law. Whenever you see my posts, you can think "A-Hole" because I occasionally go faster than the speed limit, have knowingly turned right on red with a "No turn on red" sign present and have changed lanes without the use of a turn signal. Yes, I am an "A-Hole".
Curious though...do you find Eddie Vedder to be an "A-Hole"? I mean, he posted a picture of himself on his own Facebook on Wrigley Field while holding a lit cigarette. Against the law in Chicago. If you tried that, you would be kicked out of Wrigley and likely receive a fine.

if missed calls are 10-7 what is there to complain about??? Cubs got worked by a pitcher on his game...own the loss...move on to game 2 and dont turn into that team that everyone will hate by the end of the series by complaining balls and strikes
Cubs are too good of a team to go that route
Just because I'm not saying it at the end of every post I make, doesn't mean I haven't said we took too many strikes and need to protect the plate. A few of those were on called third strikes. It absolutely makes a difference. No I'm not blaming the ump for losing. Had plenty of chances to get back in that game, and didn't - and those had nothing to do with called third strikes. To me, there were two serious points where the game could've changed. The first was not scoring from second base on the Javy base hit, down 3. The second was leaving Ross - who was already coming out - in to hit with the bases loaded, albeit, with 2 out against Miller. I would've really liked to see Soler in that spot.

Should have remembered where I was posting this. Driving the wrong way down a street (he said it, not me) could kill people. This is dumb, this is a fact. This makes you a A-Hole - this is my opinion. The examples you give of your driving does not equate to driving the wrong way on streets. If anyone told me that they drove down the street going the wrong way on purpose I would hold the same opinion of them that I hold of Lester.
Have you known anyone killed in car accidents?
If you have, I am surprised that you find it funny for a guy to laugh about driving the wrong way on streets because he wanted to get to a party and to brag that he figured he would be OK if he got stopped because he plays baseball for a living. Feel perfectly secure in my opinion of him.
Ed smoking a cigarette while on the field? Why would I care about that? This isn't about breaking laws...it is about potentially injuring others as a direct result of your impatience to get home to party and bragging about it, going as far as saying you figured you might get away with it because your team is headed to the WS.
You are absolutely good with your position that it isn't a big deal....we just disagree. I dont need to try and imagine what it was like to read his statement and take him on his word.

Definitely see your point, but its all part of the game...no worries look what the Cubs did to LA when people thought they were down they came and put 3 games worth of a beat down on them...you're golden...sorry if my post came off harsh i just saw the numbers and 10-7 wasn't as skewed as some people made it to be...best of luck tonight

Also fuck the home plate umpire. If it's a strike for Kluber, it needs to be a strike for Lester. I don't understand how there can be a rule defined strike zone and umpires call it differently a) than the rule suggests and b) for different pitchers.
as a semi-unbiased observer, I don't thing strike zone inconsistency was a big deal, one way or the other.
You're far from unbiased

We needed a few insurance runs in the top of the 7th.
Would've been nice. Their end of the 7th was eerily similar to ours last night, in that they threatened. Been real impressed with Montgomery's game tonight. I just want to see 6 more outs at this point, beat the rain, go back home with Hendricks on the mound for game 3, tied 1-1.

Now we have no idea how the Indians celebrated. Maybe they had a similar thing? They weren't home though, so who knows what happened? I do know that there was a lot of coverage/attention to the Cubs' celebration itself, which is rare outside a Championship celebration.
It all probably means nothing and is just background noise... but if the Indians Win game 2, if I were a fan, I would definitely be questioning the events after the NLCS Clinching game.
Go Cubs!!!

I think the party at his house is awesome.
I think that most of the players and some of the team employees went there to be together and celebrate is awesome.
I certainly think that having superfan EV there to play some music and party with them is awesome.
I think John Lester is a moron of the first degree. Admitting to do this is even dumber than doing it. (And this isn't his first rodeo, can't give him the 'Excited Kid' excuse if one were so inclined.)
Glad nobody got hurt and they had a blast. Sure it had zero impact on the game...just wish I hadn't read this because now I am just going to thing "A-Hole" when I see Lester on the dot.
I would bet if they lose the series and make it back next year, the celebration will be much more low key.
I'm kind of mixed when it comes to these celebrations in baseball. Celebrating a Wild Card? lame. Division title? Maybe? The Indians did this season, still were in a race for home field with Texas and Boston/Toronto/Balt.... and sleep(drunk) walked through a 12-0 (i think) drubbing the next game.
Its a long season, they deserve to celebrate a tough Division Title, and better yet, a Pennant. For me, I would feel very conflicted. In Hockey, it is kind of lame, but the Conference Winning team often doesnt even touch the trophy to say "work to be done". While the Indians were celebrating, interviews with players and manager/coaches, it was almost somber-sounding and everyone repeated there was work to do and there is nothing they want more than to accomplish the WS victory with this group of players.
its still a lot of assumptions/perception based on limited knowledge and facts though
I don't see it as a big deal. He lives very close to Wrigley. Not even far enough to start going fast. Then factor in he also traveled down alleys. Aside rom that, Wrigleyville was still hopping at this point. Kind of lIke leaving a concert, people try to carefully maneuver their way out as quickly as possible...regardless of how long others wait because of their impatience.
To think "A-Hole" every time you see him now us a little absurd because he broke a traffic law. Whenever you see my posts, you can think "A-Hole" because I occasionally go faster than the speed limit, have knowingly turned right on red with a "No turn on red" sign present and have changed lanes without the use of a turn signal. Yes, I am an "A-Hole".
Curious though...do you find Eddie Vedder to be an "A-Hole"? I mean, he posted a picture of himself on his own Facebook on Wrigley Field while holding a lit cigarette. Against the law in Chicago. If you tried that, you would be kicked out of Wrigley and likely receive a fine.
no smoking at Wrigley.......

Driving the wrong way down a street (he said it, not me) could kill people. This is dumb, this is a fact. This makes you a A-Hole - this is my opinion.
The examples you give of your driving does not equate to driving the wrong way on streets. If anyone told me that they drove down the street going the wrong way on purpose I would hold the same opinion of them that I hold of Lester.
Have you known anyone killed in car accidents?
If you have, I am surprised that you find it funny for a guy to laugh about driving the wrong way on streets because he wanted to get to a party and to brag that he figured he would be OK if he got stopped because he plays baseball for a living.
Feel perfectly secure in my opinion of him.
Ed smoking a cigarette while on the field? Why would I care about that? This isn't about breaking laws...it is about potentially injuring others as a direct result of your impatience to get home to party and bragging about it, going as far as saying you figured you might get away with it because your team is headed to the WS.
You are absolutely good with your position that it isn't a big deal....we just disagree. I dont need to try and imagine what it was like to read his statement and take him on his word.
Hope Jake doesn't mind that Willson is catching him.
