Pittsburgh Closer

MLB - Chicago Cubs/Pittsburgh Pirates Box Score Wednesday August 30, 2006 - Yahoo! Sports

The suspense is killing me!

With a 7-6 lead and two outs in the 8th, the Pirates look primed to get their first save opportunity since Mike gonzalez was placed on the DL.

With John Grabow trying to finish the 8th, the obvious choices are strike-throwing rookie Matt Capps or veteran Salomon Torres.

If I were watching the game, I'd know as I could see who is warming up in the bullpen.

If I could discern Jim Tracy's methods (Steve Schmoll got three saves in LA last year), then there would be no suspense.

(Crap! As I type, Grabow blew the lead in the 8th.)
