John Lackey's Blazing Horse House Inferno

[Tonker]

Fuck you, everybody else except Huey.

You want to brexit this bandwagon you're on yet, Welshman?

No, not yet, because I'm a grown-up who doesn't still flid out when the water gets a little choppy.  We'll see at the end of the year, shall we?

Let's see if he can hold off the unstoppable Red machine while the Cubs drag his ass back into this game.

Anyone else notice the resemblance of John Lackey to a certain goat?

[Armchair_QB]

I still blame him for getting Schwarber hurt.

The fact that he's been somewhat off for the past month matters more than the fact that he pitched ineffectively against a bad team today (if memory serves, he's pitched rather well against Washington and St. Louis).

Still, Lackey was acquired for the postseason.  If you'd still have rather have Hammel plugging the hole in that dyke (!) knock yourself out  Since they're going to be in the postseason regardless of how frustrated you are right now, I recommend you save yourself the angst and wait to lose your shit until then eh, champ?

Up is down, dogs living with cats, Huey calling for calm...

All fair points, but on the other hand, fuck him.

I'll go into his first postseason start hoping they can score 10 runs to overcome the high likelihood that he shits the bed (and then screams at the shit for being in the bed in the first place).

I hope Contreras catches him, so I can finally be treated to the on-field pummeling I've been hoping for.

I enjoyed his lazy ass watching that ball bounce off the backstop as Hamilton raced home, and I'm sure he'll remember that the next time he's yelling at some dude admiring a 500 foot homer they hit off of one of his belt high fastballs to run the bases.

He stymied a pretty solid Cubs offense last year in outdueling Lester in Game 1 of the NLDS (7 1/3, 3 baserunners) before the Cubs finally got to him (well, Baez, mostly) in his next turn--and even that game hinged on the Cubs adding on against the bullpen because Jason Fucking Hammel (over whom, I feel I need to repeat, Lackey is a pretty big step up, all things considered).

That is to say, feel free to see how this plays out.

See, you mistake me hating John Lackey (which I do, and will, forever, unless he wins like 4 postseason games this year) for me thinking Lackey is forever a garbage player or not an upgrade over Jason Hammel. I don't want him shot out of a cannon at the moment. They undoubtedly need him.

I don't have to like him, and on days when he sucks I will vent my righteous fury, because he's a mouthbreathing redassed fuckwit with a garbage personality and unless he's kicking ass for my favorite team he can fuck right off.

I, for one, will never get tired of SKO venting his righteous fury.

Seems legit.
