So excited! clenching my ass cheeks really really tight. Hoping for no colossal implosions.

In other news Tebow hit a homerun in his first at bat, on the first pitch he saw. Did not Tebow after crossing home plate. Not impressed.

Great game from Lester. Good job by the lineup to wear down Cueto and great job by Baez taking advantage of the mistake after they got him over 105 pitches. I expect some more offense from the Cubs in game 2 against Samardzija.
