So, John Lackey was starting tonight. And I think the question on everyone’s mind was, is he more irascible, like Ernest Borgnine as Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale from McHale’s Navy, or curmudgeonly, like Vic Tayback as Mel from the T.V. show Alice? Personally, I just kinda think he’s a dick. But, thoughts?
Either way, I was seriously concerned about the Cubs prospects in this game with the Lackster on the bump. Fortunately my fears were allayed early when Ryan Braun lined a single to right in the bottom of the first to drive in Neil Walker and give the Brewers a 1-0 lead.
