2016 MLB Postseason Thread

Two stops on the way to Cooperstown, more likely than not.

 

Is there not a Jon Lester HOF thread? tried to search it.

 

I don't think one was merited until this year, but he's nearing 150 wins, he may win the Cy Young Award, or finish very close, NLCS MVP, and could be the ace of both Cubs and Red Sox World Series winners.

He's got a pretty good resume going.

 

realize wins are not regarded as highly as they used to be, but was surprised to see he's only had one season with more than 16. he has been consistently very good though. he has only finished top 10 in Cy Young twice. kind of similar to Pettitte.

 

Fuck the Cubs. That is all.

 

Pretty eyes.

 

They are watching Netflix and Hulu and HBO Now and borrowing friends' or parents' ESPN logins, but they don't have access to the local Fox station in their apartment. That's how it hurts broadcast ratings.

 

Honestly, you get these complaints every year, but since it's from a far-flung fanbase and the announcer's family is so identified with the Cardinals, it's amplified this year.

Most fans who watch/listen to games all season through their local announcers, who range from homer-ish to downright insufferable boosters, will always have trouble with the postseason national broadcasts, where the announcers have to -- gasp -- be objective.

 

Taking advantage of the A.L. park where they can replace Five Inning Jake without burning an early pinch hitter.

 

Lackey does not have twitter? Does he not only look like cro-magnon man, but live like him also?
