The Cubs (19-6) take on the Pirates (15-12) in the final game of the series this morning at PNC Park. Cubs have taken the first two games by the combined score of 14-3. Jon Lester (2-1, 1.83) takes the hill opposite Juan Nicasio (3-2, 3.33) for the Bucs. Let's get the sweep. Go Cubs Go.

As a Nats fan I'm hyped for this weekend. Thinking y'all take three (you miss Strasburg) but hoping we look competitive.

Glad to see Tommy the Star get the start. He's been terrific so far this year.

Damn shame we aren't the Sunday night game this week especially with Arrieta on the mound.

im sure the cubs won't mind playing in slightly warmer temps during the day than an early may night game.

I'm pumped for the Nats series...I'm a Cubs fan first, but outside of that I love baseball and I really love Bryce Harper.

Baez is making it very difficult on Joe to keep his bat and glove out of the lineup

soler keeps looking bad and I expect he'll be at 3b more often than not with bryant in left.

Nicasio with 50 pitches thru 2 innings. Pitchers who are struggling with control have no shot against this lineup
