On Monday night, the Cubs had to survive some heartfelt reunions and then hold on for victory. They accomplished both of those things. The story, of course, of Monday night was the return of Jon Lester. Even more than that, there was Kyle Schwarber and then there was Dave Martinez. There was also Starlin Castro and if you go into the wayback machine, there were Jim Hickey and Henry Blanco too. This Nationals team has a ton of Cub connection.
Jon Lester could be the most significant signing in Cubs history. In my opinion, he should ultimately be a Hall of Fame player.
