Jon Lester is the total package. Leadership, bat speed, defense, size. The whole thing. Mix in a quality start tonight opposite Noah Syndergaahd and you have yourself one hell of a baseball game and a fresh 6 game win streak, which ties for the longest winning streak this year.

Go ahead. It’s okay to be really jacked up about August baseball.

What else:

Congrats to Anthony Rizzo on his 1,000th career hit:

and his 1,001st/th career hit:

Daniel Murphy notched another 2 hits bringing his batting average at Wrigley Field to a whopping .750 or something. Honestly I have no fucking clue what to say about this hillbilly other than he can flat out STROKE balls. It’s as if the Cubs are a completely different team with him in the leadoff spot.

Up next is Cole Hamels vs. Jacob de Grom tomorrow evening which should be appointment television. Two big tests: the revamped lineup against a legit #1 as well as Cole Hamels keeping the momentum going from his last start, a complete game effort.

And then one last thing
