I'm verrrrry curious to see if we go for anyone or not. I keep hearing about how good a fit Lester would be for the Cubs, but what on earth do we have left to leverage?
I can't see the Cubs trading for Lester, basically only a contender would offer what the Sox are asking (2-3 prospects, 1 of which has to be top level). I could however see Theo trying to land him in free agency since he has a good relationship with him.
So, basically, we loaned Darwin Barney to the Dodgers...
...think I'll go to one of the games this weekend. Tickets are SUPER cheap on Stubhub. I'm guessing they're shit, but I haven't been to a Cubs game in about three years.
Let me know which sections you are looking for. For cheap seats, I'm a big fan of the Top Deck, great vantage point, just way up high.
I'm curious as to if the Dodgers make any more moves. I don't think they will give up what the Sox want for Lester, given he isn't likely to sign in the off season.
As it is, I think things are fine for the playoffs. Kershaw, Greinke, Ryu is a damn fine top 3.

The Red Sox have scratched Jon Lester from his scheduled start tomorrow.
Yeah, it'll be the top section, likely outfield. IF I go. The idea of trying to get out there Friday night, when I get off work at six and the game starts at 7 doesn't seem promising, but I'd like to see Hendricks pitch and watch the fireworks. On the other hand, Wada would be great to watch as well, and Saturday's game is a nice little afternoon deal.

Yeah, weeknight games are tough. People make fun of Dodger fans for arriving late, but most times it's unavoidable. I'm a big fan of taking the free shuttle from Union Station, if you are close to the red line.

I was asking people on the SBNation Cubs page if there was a decent way to get there from the Red Line and not one person mentioned that shuttle...does it run often enough? I have absolutely no problem getting to Union Station in a decent amount of time.
