Lester held the Mets off the board for 7 innings on Wednesday but didn’t get the win in a game the Cubs won 2-0. His last win was on May 16. He beat STL on the road (7 IP, 1 ER) during his string of four wins in May. He is 1-1 with a 3.18 against them this year. The Cards are 38-111 (.319) against him. Heyward is 8-15 (.533) with a HR.

Lackey lost at home against the White Sox his last time out (7 IP, 2 ER). He is 1-0 (14.2 IP, 3 ER) versus the Cubs so far this year. Coghlan is 8-14 (.571) against him.

Hold on to your hats… and your lunch.

Go Cubs!

fowler finally finds his way out of the leadoff spot after having a .204/.282/.351 slash over 2+ months now (may 1st+). thanks dusty.

lester taking a no-hitter into the 6th. this message brought to you by parachat peer pressure.

Wong makes the play, Bryant makes the error, they get the runners in, we don't...every damn game against these guys.

Although, this is starting to feel more like Bulls-Bad Boy Pistons than Bears-Rodgers Packers. They are literally one play away in almost every game and it feels like a breakthrough is imminent. Pistons beat up Scottie until he grew up, Cards are doing the same thing to Addison right now. They toyed with him in STL and also tonight when runners are on base. Hopefully, he can step it up. Soon.

Ejax does the impossible -- lowers his trade value, which was already zero. Well, no sense in burning a real reliever in a game the Cubs weren't going to win anyway. Although, it would have been good to force the Cards to use their closer the day before a DH. But, as with all things Cubs-Cardinals...it went the Cardinals way.

fowler back in the leadoff spot for game 1 of the doubleheader vs lefty t.lyons. soler 4th...montero hitting 7th...russell sits for herrera.

with lester's 3sb allowed last night he passed his single-season SB-allowed mark of 22 with 24 SB...in his 17th game of the season. it was his 5th 3-SB game of the season. that said, the leads runners are taking seem to be killing him more than the SB. combined, it's free bases all over the place.

Matt Garza on the 15 day DL with shoulder tendonitis. He has a history of getting injured just before the trade deadline as I recall.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

  • crunch (view)

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

  • Cubster (view)

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

  • crunch (view)

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.
