04/15 Brewers (Suppan) vs. Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 CSN

[A-Cal]

It is so funny that we have three lefties in the pen.

[erik316wttn]

grabow [expletive] sucks too, but i guess those 1.4 WHIP relievers are too valuable to let go.

 

I wish Jim Hendry would pay me $3 million a year to be bad at baseball.

[UMFan83]

Someone suggest who should be out there in a situation where the Cubs go into the inning down 1 run in the 8th inning.

 

Anyone else. Samardzija is right now the worst pitcher in the pen.

 

Agreed. But obviously the Cubs aren't ready to accept their $10 million as a sunk cost just yet. If you spent $10 million on an unproven relief pitcher (lets not argue the merit of drafting/signing him in the first place), wouldn't you give him way more chances to prove himself than lets say Justin Berg?

[Careless]

I wish he had called him safe

[PrimeTime]

I wish Shark would've chose to pursue Football instead of baseball out of college

[Ballgame64]

This season is beyond [expletive] if we keep throwing these pieces of crap from the bullpen to blow games.

 

our bullpen blows, but on a day like today facing three pretty bad pitchers, 8 hits and 4 walks really isn't that good.

Yep. The offense should have torched Suppan today.

 

In other news, Grabow would prefer to give up a few more runs to make sure the offense can't come back.

If I gave him 10 million it would be because I thought he could start, thus I would have him at Iowa working on starting.

That was awesome...that was not a strike.

But how many chances are you going to give him to blow close ballgames? Either put him in mopup situations where the game has already been determined either way, or send him to Iowa and let him sort it out there.

[TruffleShuffle]

braun absolutely murders LHP and grabow is a lousy LHP, so this should get fun.

[Schwarber Fan]

NO way he was out

[NotSoSober]

Nice play, though I think he was safe

[Roast]

Uh, he was all kinds of safe.

[imb]

lol did theriot throw that left handed? he was safe by a mile

[erik316wttn]

Uh, he was all kinds of safe.

 

Well, at least the ump is terrible for both sides today.

I didn't say he should be released. He can prove himself in AAA.

Ron: Well uhh, the ball beat him there and that's all that matters

If he's that much of an investment then he should be getting regular starts in the minors until he starts looking better.

[NewUserName]

wow that was not even close in real time

[CubbieBum]

I wish Shark would've chose to pursue Football instead of baseball out of college

 

Agreed but seriously stop using this joke. It is said two times every time he makes an appearance. Just stop. We get it and we all agree.

[erik316wttn]

Haha.

 

I think that's ballgame, boys.

[Sammy Sofa]

RAG DOLL.

[Roast]

God Damnit, Grabow, let that damn ball go.

[Careless]

Really have to love the combination of Grabow's glove and Theriot's arm

[SouthSideRyan]

Ron probably thinks the force play was in effect.
