Sunday Funnies: Lester orders the usual.

So nice to see Jon Lester looking like the guy we all thought he was when he came here, and lately he's doing it consistently.

from Mark Gonzalez Sunday Trib article...
Cubs manager Joe Maddon hasn’t ruled out starting rookie catcher Kyle Schwarber on Sunday in the series finale against the Braves but admitted he’s reluctant to try him in the outfield — for now. “For you to see him in the outfield, he’ll need a little bit of work out there first,” Maddon said of Schwarber, 22, who hasn’t played the outfield this season after playing 36 games in left field in the minors in 2014...If there’s a left-center fielder, that might be OK...
Rotation roundup: Jason Hammel pronounced his left knee healthy enough to start Tuesday at Cincinnati, although he said he will wear a brace for a few starts for protection. Triple-A Iowa’s Dallas Beeler is lined up to start one of the doubleheader games against the Reds on Wednesday. Minor-league watch: Infielder Javier Baez is recovering from a fractured left ring finger in Arizona. Left-hander Zac Rosscup (left shoulder) is close to leaving Arizona to continue his rehab after throwing a scoreless inning Wednesday.

Twilight Zone. Season 2. Will the Real Martian Pease Stand Up. Still, the concept of diner is universal it seems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHomWdiXch0

    I'm pretty sure I've seen enough of Arrieta and Davies to last me the rest of the summer.

    Just wait til the 2030 season, those kids will be entering their prime then. Look out NL Central!

    im starting to think spending 12.6m of payroll on davies/arrietta while trading darvish away for davies and a slew of kids that dont even make the cubs top 10 prospect list wasn't a good idea.

    oh yeah, cubs gave SD money in that deal, too...that's even better.

    The Cubs have purchased the contract of RHP Justin Shafer (ex-MIA) from Kansas City (American Association) and he has been assigned to AAA Iowa.

    he -really- needs to cue into this is a cubs broadcast and not a national/neutral broadcast.

    dude...don't get excited about marlins 3-run homers.

    lot of people wanted him when len left.  he's got a long game calling history, but not too much for baseball.  he did host "baseball tonight" for ESPN for a quite a while, so the game isn't a mystery to him.

    i find him a bit boring/dry.  some people like that he has that oldschool "announcer voice" thing going on.

    He's uhhh.. not very good at it. Glad he wasn't the hire for the main role.

    wow...chris myers calling the cubs game for some reason (boog out for the MIA series).

    he is a marquee talent, but he's not been used to call a game as far as i know.

    also, zach davies looks like a kid in pajamas in those dark blue "wrigleyville" uniforms.
