Subject: Cubs @ Browns

Despite their record, the Browns are actually a very good team and are just saddled with bad luck so far in 1950.  This week St. Louis caught a break and got to play the only team in the majors with even worse luck....
 
 
Game 1: Cy Young candidate Bob Rush didn't survive SLA's first inning, in which they sent 11 men to the plate and took a 7-0 lead.  For a while it looked like the Browns' rotten luck might even trump the Cubs' -- 3 innings later the game was tied 8-8.  That concluded the scoring for a long time, until the idiot CHN manager used Ellis Kinder in the bottom of the 9th. 
 
Kinder has been passable in his new role as starter; he immediately reverted to typical arsonist form as a reliever.  Final score: 9-8.  In a game where both teams had chances galore, it came down to LOB and the Cubbies racked up a whopping 11 of them.
 
=======================================
 
Game 2: SLA starter Larry Jansen has the best card in the majors, so of course we rolled on it 80% of the time today.  SLA got every break until the Chicago 9th when we plated a pair of runs, accomplishing nothing aside from ruining Jansen's shutout.  Final score: 5-2.
 
=======================================
 
Game 3: Chicago starter Ted Gray had a fantastic outing: 7.1 IP, 4 hits, 0 runs, 2 BB, 11 K, therefore our opponent's starter (Vic Raschi) had to pitch fantastically too, and did.  Finally in the 8th the Cubs broke the scoreless tie when Roy Sievers botched a grounder just after Gray helpfully bunted into a critical DP.
 
Don Mueller (!) followed with a 3-run homer, and that was the entire offense for the Cubs. 
 
With the score 3-0 in the bottom of the 9th the Cubs naturally just had to choke it away -- or at least try -- and we complied.  The first batter hit an x-grounder to superstar defensive sub Marty Marion at SS.  Who flubbed it.  After Sievers doubled the runner to third with still 0 outs, Dutch Leonard induced 3 straight grounders: but all 3 were x grounders.  Uh oh. 
 
But Marion amazingly converted 2 of them and Eddie Stanky (the worst '2' in the history of second base) handled the other.  Cubs barely hang on to win 3-2 and don't get swept after all!
