I don't care about who was unavailable or not. At some point you have to try to put yourself in the best position to win that game, and no one can convince me that <b>leaving</b> Grabow in there was the best option. Lou managed an awful game today.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I have often suspected throughout the last few years that Lou does this on purpose as a way to send a message to Hendry that he needs to make a deal. I wanna believe that Lou feels the same way about Grabow that we do, but by running him out there again and again, he's telling Hendry, "Hey Jim, this guy sucks. Get me a better option."
Or it's entirely possible that Lou has lost it and thinks Grabow is better than he is.
