    Jon Lester Is Not Happy About The Nacho Man

    Last night, Cubs shortstop Addison Russell crashed into the stands and absolutely destroyed an order of nachos a Cardinals fan was eating. It was hilarious!

    Everyone had a good laugh when Russell crashed into the nachos, and it was actually kind of cute when Russell returned with new nachos to make things right. Cubs starter Jon Lester was not laughing, though.
    The Chicago Sun-Times reports Lester did not enjoy the scene:
    “Great effort,” pitcher Jon Lester said. “But I don’t understand the other stuff.
    “A guy fell into him and got nacho cheese on his arm and now he’s taking pictures and signing autographs. It shows you where our society’s at right now with all that stuff.”

    Baseball is such a nice sport.

    Compare this to the Philadelphia doctor giving NBA players the finger or the whole bullshit with the NFL.

    Baseball, truly a throw back. Except for the Canadians throwing beer at people.

    Lester may have a stick up his ass, but he's certainly not a loser.

    Lester is probably annoyed that his steroids aren't working anymore.

    If it were any other team, the guy would be going off on how Lester must be a Trumptard.

    lester not the brightest bulb on the planet. really never has said much mainly because he doesn't know much. not a great teammate. mechanical pitcher who never seems happy. cubs reportedly will be trading him this off season while he still has a minimum value left. just a journeyman pitcher now.

    4 lefthanders in the rotation with that wall only 300 ft. away. and porcello who may give up 300 hits this year as your 5th starter. highly unlikely they would want lester back.

    My only comment was that Lester is not a loser, because obviously he is a winner. Case closed.

    You did say he has a stick up his ass. I'd assume if he wasn't one of your own, then you would hate him. But hey, what do I know.

    There is no report that the Cubs will trade him. Makes no sense. He's probably regressing some as he ages, but still a good pitcher that you want on the mound in a big game.

    I wouldn't say he's a loser. I can see that he has a 2.63 EA in 19 playoff starts and helped the Red Sox and the Cubs to first ring in forever. He does seem like a tight-ass and perhaps a jerkoff and not saying I want to be friends with him, but I wouldn't call him a loser in any case.
