    Ugh, jhey hitting 6th. Hope it's a short leash. Would rather see Contreras in LF and Zob in RF.

    But we need Heywards $180million defense!

    Good lord...Signing Heyward will have Cubs fans thinking the Alphonso Soriano signing was a bargain!

    His average and RBI production sucked ass for the most part but at least he gave us 20-30 HRs a year.
    We were expecting a 30-30 guy when we signed him. Pretty sure he had a 40-40 season prior to the Cubs signing him. What we got was a clown who could no longer run, was a defensive liability, missed 30 games a year for various reasons, and was overpaid by $5- $10 million a year. But why the hell are we discussing this bozo? Haha

    Go Lester!
    Because at this point it's fun to look back and laugh since we're on the brink. Haha. I understand what we were expecting to get and what we didn't get, but Heyward didn't even live up to a bad Soriano year this year.
    Heyward at 6'5 of Solid muscle reminds me of a Dave Winfield. Heyward should be bouncing balls off the buildings on Shefield. But this clown can't hit the ball out of the infield. It's strange.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    It really is strange. For the most part, even when it "looks" like he hits a ball solid it goes absolutely nowhere.

    what's weird is I was at his first Major League start in Atlanta.
    He was so hyped up and he did produce for a while. especially that day off of ZambraNO
    it's a mystery to me.

    Enough talk of Heywards dumbass...

    Im gonna say Rizzo hits another bomb tonight.
    Bryant has a few more hits.
    Baez does something special too.
    And Lester will be "lights out"
    Take me piece by piece.....

    Another prediction?

    Dodgers will lay down a few bunts.
    Since after 10 years in big league ball, Lester still can't manage to throw a ball to 1st base.

    Which is just fucking strange.

    Bad call on Baez on that 2-2 pitch. Had a great chance to put up a crooked number ther.

    I love how he just bounces that throw and looks in their dugout. What a terrible display. Dude has to take some pride in fielding a position, and learn how to make a throw other than 60 ft 6 inches.

    Leaving all the base runners is going to be an issue. Piss poor at bat by Russell.
