I've already counted 2 times this period that the Hawks turned it over in their own zone. Come on.

I was about to write that despite appearances, he's only given up runs in three of his appearances. Doesn't stop his ERA from being over 10 Grabow IP H R ER BB K HR PC ST ST% P/IP IR IRS IRS% BB/9 K/9 HR/9 WHIP ERA 04/05 vs. Atla 0.7 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 3 0.75 6.0 3 1 0.33 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 04/07 vs. Atla 0.7 2 2 2 0 0 1 15 11 0.73 22.5 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 13.50 3.00 27.00 04/08 vs. Atla 0.0 0 0 0 1 0 0 5 1 0.20 0.0 1 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 04/10 vs. Cincy 1.0 1 0 0 0 1 0 14 9 0.64 14.0 0 0 0.00 0.00 9.00 0.00 1.00 0.00 04/11 vs. Cincy 0.3 2 2 2 1 1 0 18 10 0.56 54.0 3 2 0.67 27.00 27.00 0.00 9.00 54.00 04/15 vs. Milw 1.0 2 1 0 0 0 0 19 14 0.74 19.0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 2.00 0.00 04/16 vs. Houst 1.0 1 0 0 0 1 0 10 7 0.70 10.0 0 0 0.00 0.00 9.00 0.00 1.00 0.00 season totals 4.7 8 5 4 2 3 1 85 55 0.65 18.2 7 3 0.43 3.86 5.79 1.93 2.14 7.71 And yet in some of the appearances where he didn't allow an earned run, 1 time he allowed an unearned run, another time he allowed 1 of his inherited runners to score, another time he allowed a walk to the only batter he faced, and the other 2 times he legitimately pitched a solid scoreless inning, although he allowed a baserunner each time.

Really random question...if a pitch bounces off the dirt and hits a player, is it still a HBP?

And yet they are 0-3 on the PP and we are 5 seconds away from 1-2

Quick, everyone flip to WGN to see the Cubs make their last 2 outs of the game. Edit: 1 out

Seriously, he looked like he was going to be benched midway through the season.

Do you think the refs noticed both teams were getting rather testy at the end of the 2nd game and are being quick on the whistle to stop the shenanagins?

Holy crap. Some of the situations where the Hawks don't score just boggle my mind. We have an amazingly difficult time hitting an open net. Good move though.

Finally. I'm pretty sure that a period in the playoffs isn't supposed to have a team on the PP 40% of the time. Very nice Hawks! Big PP goal before the end of the period!

The Hawks just can't get anywhere near open ice while in the Nashville zone.

I know they are on the PP but holy [expletive] clear the puck when you get control.

The Preds just look like they are skating faster getting to all those loose pucks. Extremely frustrating.

Grabow just gave up another 2 runs on a HR by a scrub (Tatis)

YAY another penalty! You know what they say about the playoffs, penalties all the time! Disasterous start for the Hawks.

Nice job Sopel

Mother [expletive]. They have been getting tons of good chances so I guess it was only a matter of time.

Niemi is borderline standing on his head too so we've got that going for us.

So 3 runs scored in our last 27 innings. Yay?

Come on Hawks, stop taking penalties.

Holy crap, the Predators are begging for Chicago to score.

[expletive] Madden....so close

As I said I would probably do the same thing in his position and my main goal was to get riled up. And yes the premise was dumb. Nashville is doing a pretty good job of keeping the Hawks on the boards.

Out of curiosity, what do these guys do in spring training?

Is that even a question? Normally I'd say if you watch Lost and DVR the Blackhawks game, ultimately the result will be spoiled, but I always here people talking about Lost and spoilers so maybe that's not the case.

Man when do we finally get to start playing some easy teams? Oh wait...
