Both managers blow their challenge in the first inning?

Not only 1st inning, but both on the first out.

Those leads are embarrassing. Its in his head now. He has to step off the rubber at least. NL teams are going to keep taking those leads until he throws over.

I wish we would stop spotting these dicks a lead.

JD, do cub fans like Castro?

Bad night for Lance Lynn to happen. Gotta hope Lackey's up to the task tomorrow.

I'd like to see the catcher throw behind the runner more.

Not sure if you saw Lesters two pick off attempts a while back, but his first throw was a rainbow that took Rizzo off the bag. The next one was a rainbow way over his head and ended up being tracked down by Soler who threw the runner out at 3rd.

The part I find most embarassing/reeruned about the whole Lester situation is the fact the Cubs are carrying 3 ****ing catchers because for some reason only David Ross can catch his cutters. I would much rather see Castillo or Montero in the lineup.

That strike 2call on Reynolds should get that ump suspended.

I'd say it's on par with Chiefs fans and Dwayne Bowe. Hes really talented but he's really frustrating. He'll make a gold glove play and then he'll turn around and run over the 2nd baseman. He'll get a hit 200 times but he'll hit into a ****ton of double plays because he swings at shit only Vladimir Guerrero could hit.

I think Castro's talent is just too good to ignore. He's one of the best SS's in the game and he's only 25. But I also wouldn't be shocked if the Cubs traded him to move Russell over and upgrade the defense and put Baez at 2nd, if Baez can show that he can be more patient. He's a good defender with 30 HR power in the middle infield.

I've seen Baez play in person. He's a God Awful defender. Hit 2 HR in the game I was at, but made 3 errors & his team lost the game.

1 game sample size? That last 2 years he's been fielding around .970 in the minors and he's 22.

Well.. Garbage Lynn tonight.
