Previous message                 Next message Message #: 11300 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Feb 28, 2011 Subject: Cubs @ Cardinals Two teams with nearly identical talent levels -- and VASTLY different luck -- meet in St. Louis and demonstrate the truth of the previous statement.  The Cubs outplayed the Cards and got excellent pitching, so naturally we struggled just to split....     Game 1: CHN starter Ted Gray had an outstanding game going, allowing just 1 hit until the seventh inning, but the Cubbie offense could never deliver him a lead.  Typical sabotage defense gave SLN an unearned 1-0 lead in the first without any hits required at all.  With the game tied 1-1 in the 7th, Gray allowed a BP gopher right at the split card limit and that was the ballgame.  Gray & Hal White combined on a 3-hitter and lost a game any other team would have won.  Final score: 2-1.     Game 2: Paul Minner tossed his first shutout in 3 seasons, but led only 1-0 after 7 innings and we were prepared for another undeserved defeat but instead we saved that for tomorrow.  Chicago tacked on 4 late runs and won by the deceptively lopsided score of 5-0.  Willy Miranda had 2 hits (both doubles), undoubtedly setting a personal record with 4 total bases in one month.     Game 3: Proving for at least the millionth time that *nobody* chokes like the Cubs, starter Ron Kline had allowed just one hit in 6 innings and was holding a 2-0 lead when his idiot manager elected to bring in the reliever with the amazingly good card -- and the even more amazing ability to choke.   Willie Ramsdell allowed a low-probability split card gopher to the first batter he faced (as so often happens) AND to the last batter he faced (ditto) on the same dice roll, and in both cases it was powerful slugger Richie Ashburn doing the damage.  Babe Ruth Ashburn's solo gopher cut our lead to 2-1 in the 7th and his 2 run gopher in the 9th ended the game.  Those were the only 2 hits Ramsdell permitted, and the Cubs found yet another way to lose despite pitching a 3-hitter.  LOB today: SLN - 0.     Game 4: We finally allowed the Cardinals some baserunners today (6 hits) and found that to be a better tactic than limiting them to fewer hits.  Bob Rush allowed those 6 hits but offset some of them by getting 3 hits of his own, helping the Chicago offense rack up a lofty LOB total (10) and nothing more.   The Cubs gave Rush a 1-0 lead in the 4th, which required exactly one batter to negate.  But Hank Sauer's homer in the 8th was only halfway erased seconds later, Ellis Kinder faced one batter in the 9th - and retired him! - and the Cubs escaped with a narrow 3-2 win.  Alex Kellner went the distance for St. Louis, permitting 13 baserunners but getting out of those jams nearly all of the time.   Alan
