Sick finish.
Melancon gets the win, UNDESERVED!
Wasn't Melancon an all-star?
& he came in during the 8th so I'm pretty sure they did go back to Grilli as closer ...
Geeeesh
Yea, Melancon was closing while Grilli was out hurt. I guess they didn't want to hurt his feelings and immediately make him the set up guy once Grilli got back so they let him blow two 9th inning leads last week before demoting him to blowing leads in the 8th inning now.
As a Cubs fan, enjoy the ride PenguinFan! You guys have suffered for a long time too ... please kick the Cardinals' ass! :toast:
Oh, PNC is a fantastic park! :0074
Thanks. I don't expect much out of this team in the playoff(s), it's a bonus that they are still relevant in late September.
PNC Park is definitely the nicer of the two stadiums built on the North Shore. I'd love to get to a Pens/Blackhawks game in Chicago. I was making plans to get out there for the Finals last year until we pissed down our leg against Boston.
