Yep, in Northern Ohio - 6 hours from Chicago and 11 from New York - I get the Yankees. Nevermind. I checked tvguide.com and it told me the yankees. When I check on my dish's program guide, it says I get cubs/cards. Awesome.
He didn't do it, but he did get two more RBI. Has a player ever hit two grand slams in the same inning before? Fernando Tatis a few years ago for the Cards. Against Chan Ho Park. I was at that game. Didn't Bill Mueller do it against the Rangers in like...2006 or so? EDIT: Wait.....I think that mighta been a home run from both sides of the plate in the same inning.
Is Ward really hitting third? I guess that makes pinch hitting Lee for him better late in the game, but....not exactly what I'd do. It'd be sweet to push the Cards to 6.5 back, eh?
I was gonna say that Looper was pitching for the Cards today, so they might actually lose. Then I realized they scored 5 off of Hamels yesterday, so I'm sure they'll score at least 35 off of Blanton.
