CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester is one of the most competitive and intense pitchers in MLB, and is known to be profane at times.
Following the Cubs 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies in yesterday's NL Wildcard game, Lester did not hold back in his postgame interview.
Jon Lester: “Sometimes you need to get your dick knocked in the dirt to appreciate it. Maybe we needed that.”

After Lester signed with the Cubs in 2015, the team has been the playoffs four years in a row, including three straight NLCS appearances prior to this year.
The bar has been set as high as it can go after the Cubs won the World Series in 2016. After last night's brutal loss, there are no good feelings in that clubhouse.
