Since I bumped everyone else that did something awesome yesterday, guess I should bump this dude too, even though it's pretty routine at this point.

Nice to have a 1-B Ace that's been able to pick up Lester until the latter straightens his shit out. 
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Let the record show that Pen is literally structuring the playoff rotation in April.

Did anyone else see the exchange between Jesse of ESPNChicago and the fan who said that they should "demote Lester from ace and make Arrieta the ace and Lester have to earn it back"?

Because I laughed heartily at someone thinking "ace" is like an official team designation.

Lester's got elite QB makeup.

So there aren't any arm sleeve patches for "ace"?

Bump for 8 IP, 10 K, 1 ER last night and a 3.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 48/11 K/BB in 45.0 IP for the year.

Brett tweeted "He's the Anthony Rizzo of pitching". I like that.

That was a nails performance.  Much needed while this bullpen gets put back in to place (hopefully).

I had concerns going in and he erased most of them. His FIP is now lower than his ERA. All good signs. His velocity and movement were excellent. Seems like when he gets hit, they're bleeders.
