Jon Lester was lucky to get anyone out in the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, when he gave up 10 fucking runs before getting three outs.
After already allowing five runs, Lester gave up a Francisco Cervelli grand slam and then Andrew McCutchen hit a home run. Kris Bryant was charged with an error that loaded the bases, but after that Lester gave up a double, single, walk, walk and then the back-to-back home runs. He only got the two outs thanks to a great play by Bryant to get Cervelli in his first at-bat and then the Pirates pitcher Chad Kuhl had a sac-bunt.
Jon Lester fucking sucked.
One of the worst starts in MLB history.
Because of the error, Lester was only charged with four earned runs, so his ERA only went up to 4.25, somehow still not as bad as Jake Arrieta. The Cubs suck right now. It doesn't mean they'll suck after the break too, but right now they blow.
