5/30 Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20 CSN/TBS

[Cronos006]

Oh my god, I wish everyone on this board could have seen Piniella's face after that home run. He looks broken.

 

Yes, that was incredible.

[muntjack]

No he looks like that every shot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holliday singled to center field

[rynefan]

Oh my god, I wish everyone on this board could have seen Piniella's face after that home run. He looks broken.

 

That's because he is. So is this team.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Freese homered to left field , Holliday scored

[muntjack]

In other news, Jim Hendry has seen to it that John Grabow is a multi-millionaire.

[CincyCubsFan]

I'd love to see the Cards bat around Grabow this inning and put up a few more bombs.

[haubrich91]

Hopefully this helps Hendry make his decision.

[rynefan]

THREE OUTS, Grabow, THREE.

[Keener98]

lol Grabow

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 4 HR in a game.... Thur 27 Apr 10 (4 HRs) in a 13-5 loss to Arizona at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Irrelevant Dude]

This is going to make it all the more enraging when Russell gets sent to AAA in order to make room for Cashner, while Grabow continues to pitch in the 7th and 8th innings.

[UMFan83]

Ladies and gentlemen....JOHN GRABOW!!!

 

Grabow sucks when he comes in to set up Marmol

Grabow sucks when he comes in tied

Grabow sucks when he comes in to try to prevent insurance runs

Grabow sucks when he comes in to mop up

Grabow sucks when he comes in with a huge lead.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jay singled to left field

[Careless]

A) That's a crazy number of two out runs

B) it's like Grabow is trying to keep his ERA around 9

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 14 hits in a game.... Fri 14 May 10 (16 hits) in a 10-6 loss to Pittsburgh at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

I think Grabow was sent to us from Selig to teach the other GMs how dumb it is to overpay for mediocre middle relievers.

[UMFan83]

B) it's like Grabow is trying to keep his ERA around 9

 

He's gonna have to get some outs if he wants to keep it around there...
