Lester's 18 wins is pretty impressive given that he won a bunch of games this year without his best stuff.
It's been a pepto bismol season for Cub fans.

I think the Tigers will get them once.Let's hope the Brew Crew stumble these last 3 games and help us out some.
Milwaukee is pulling out all the stop now. They've had two games in the last week that have been basically bullpen starts. Yet there they are. Yelich is carrying them and Aguilar and Braun are doing a good enough job of protecting him in the line up. Yelich has stolen the MVP based on the last month and Counsell is manager of the year.Sure hope we won't need a tie breaker game on Monday. That would really put a clinker into things.
As long as the Friday or Sunday offense shows up we will be fine.Seemed inevitable that the season would come down to a playoff game. Milwaukee pretty cocky at this point. Hope the Cubs can shut them up.
We went 26-14 down the stretch and still couldn't put those bastards away. There's one game that sticks in my craw. The second game of that doubleheader in Washington we had a 4-0 lead and Hamels on the mound. We let it slip away. I had a bad feeling we would regret it. Other than that, great stretch run with an impossible schedule.Man, one game playoff tomorrow crazy that both Central and West need another game to decide! Hoping we can pull it out, the Brewers are on fire.
Maddon and Hickey looked ahead to this scenario weeks ago. We have Q on normal rest and Lester on normal rest ready to go tomorrow if necessary. If we lose out, it won't be because the starting rotation wasn't set up. It could, however, be because Maddon burns up the bullpen today and loses and has no bullpen tomorrow.12:00 Monday! Time to knock the Brewers down a notch. One thing we have going for us is Murphy likes to hit during the day. At lead off that's huge! Sounds like Q will be pitching. Go Cubs Go!
