I got a kick out of this.. Lackey will fold up like a cheap chair and implode before this year is over.. He ain't got the stuff he used to have and it will show late in the year, especially with all the pressure that comes with playing for a perennial loser..

CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs pitcher John Lackey was apparently upset with the way San Diego Padres catcher Christian Bethancourt reacted after hitting a home run in the Padres' 1-0 win over the Cubs on Wednesday night.
"How many home runs does he have?" Lackey asked sarcastically after the game.

Wednesday was Bethancourt's third of the season, and it was a monster blast to left that landed on the street outside Wrigley Field. Bethancourt watched it for a moment before rounding the bases.

"I got a long memory," said Lackey (4-2), who took the loss after going eight innings and allowing a run on three hits, with no walks and seven strikeouts.

Bethancourt and Lackey don't have a history; this was the first meeting between hitter and pitcher, which Lackey was well aware of.

"Oh, I know," Lackey said. "He'll learn."

Bethancourt's homer was the lone run of the game, giving the Padres a doubleheader sweep and the Cubs their first two-game losing streak of the season.

I saw Lackey at our anger management classes for a year, until he packed up and left for Shitcago. Dude has some issues. I guess when you serve up a 77 mph off speed pitch with your old tired arm, and allow the ball to be hit so hard, long, and far.....that they had an inflight meal service on the trip out of the park....I see why he got angry.

I'm personally smiling at Heyward. Wasn't impressed with him in STL or never understood the hype. $25 million a year for a dude 30 games in and ZERO HR's, zero triples, 5 weak ass doubles, almost double the strikeouts to walks, while batting .216 & slugging .256 The Cubs paid $22 million for a guy to bat like Pete Kozma. Meanwhile his replacement, Stephen Piscotty. 5HR, .319 BA and .514 slugging THE BIGGEST STAT for all those baseball junkies who now believe you gotta have a WAR to be worth something......the dumbest chit ever in my opinion. Heyward has a .2 WAR. Piscotty a 1.4 WAR

Heyward $22 million
Piscotty $512,500

I sure Piscotty pays off this year. I'm worried he wont'
