Subject: Cubs @ Giants

Gophers were flying everywhere at the Polo Grounds, as they so often do (especially when Cubbie pitchers are in town).  After two luckless games to begin the series, the Cubs narrowly manage not to choke away the final two....
 
 
Game 1: Bob Rush suffered a brutal second inning thanks to some surgical split cards (2, 2, 2) and got behind 5-0 to the Giants.  Chicago fought back to pull within 5-3, so HAL got his scalpel out again in the NYN 5th.  Final score: 9-6.  It would have been 9-8 but CHN's Andy Pafko had a moderately decent chance at a BP homer (a mere 1-19) with a runner on base and 2 outs in the 9th -- and missed it.
 
Game 2: Ted Gray's card is way better than his stats in 1951 but as usual that quality didn't have any effect (5.1 IP, *16* baserunners) on today's 6-3 disaster.  The only "break" the Cubs got was that the score wasn't 15-3, as NYN stranded 13 runners.  The Cubs offense was just as effective as our pitching, giving New York starter Bob Hooper a very easy time on the mound.
 
Game 3: The Cubs built a 5-0 lead and took an 8-1 advantage into the bottom of the 8th.  Final score: 8-6, as we simply couldn't suppress the choke reflex.  After reliever Ken Johnson brought the gasoline, Ellis Kinder helped him pour.  It turned out that we needed every one of Walker Cooper's 3 home runs today.
 
Game 4: Like game 3, the Cubs magically turned a large lead into a little one.  Today the culprits were shoddy defense and the requisite Kinder gopher in the bottom of the 9th.  Final score: 7-5.  Chuck Connors and Neil Berry came through with clutch RBIs in the 3rd that built our lead to 6-2 at the time, and Bob Rush recovered earlier than expected from his game 1 surgery and had a good day (7 IP, 2 ER).
