The Cubs clinched something or other Tuesday night, home field for NLDS, which I thought they had already done, but anyway, some meaning was derived from the win. Lester was in complete control throughout his appearance. Indeed Lester this year, and especially since the All-Star break, has been the guy the Cubs expected when they signed him to the big contract.
I really like the Cubs approach as well. They were patient and worked the counts. I think they had the Reds starter well over sixty pitches by the third inning. All in all, a good night at the ballpark.
Actually waited around to try to get a shot of the harvest moon rising by the scoreboard, but the game ended before it happened. Next time.
