The Cubs have won six games in a row. This is not a drill. I repeat, the Cubs have won six games in a row.
PITCHING
Jon Lester has had a slow warmup, but I think he’s finally hitting on 5 of his 6 cylinders. Today, he notched his 1,500th strikeout, going 7 innings and giving up one earned run. He is still 0-for-forever batting, but it will come, I know it.
The bullpen was alright and definitely interesting. Brian Schlitter was awful, as per usual. He might be a reverse Samson – if he cut his hair, maybe he will do better.
