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.

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.

The Blackhawks are the city's best team & I don't like hockey. :facepalm: I've tried getting in to it & just can't. I remember the Bulls' titles somewhat but unfortunately didn't appreciate it enough. Bears won SB right before I was born. My teams are Cubs, Bears, & Illini ... too much disappointment since I've been around haha.
