As of right now barring rainouts, maddon said he sticking with rotation as is..

Lester scheduled to start on Friday and Arrieta on Saturday of the final weekend.

So, if maddon stays on normal routine it will be Lester
otherwise your looking at Arrieta with just 3 days rest..

That's a shame, really. He's earned that right. But hopefully Lester works his magic and gets us that win over Pittsburgh

@Cubs will be so comfortable in their PJs & onesies on the flight home!

Arrieta had some deep runs in games last year, too. It was a matter of time as good as his stuff is.

WOW! 17 wins. A no hitter against a good team on national TV late in the season. Let the critics be silenced. Best of all, way to give the Cubs back the momentum after a tough few games!

Go Cubs Go!

Even more impressive, he did it despite the fact that there was a fool trying to jinx him.

What a August Jake has had!

Hopefully it continues into the fall months.

My favorite part was getting through the 7th on 6 pitches - with a strikeout!

@ESPNStatsInfo: Jake Arrieta in August (6 starts)

6-0, 0.43 ERA

42 1/3 IP, 19 hits allowed



yet he wasnt good enuff to be an All Star

All star's are kind of dumb anyways. Because every team has to have one you often end up with iffy players. Plus there's the manager/fan bias for players.
