Subject: Cubs @ White Sox

The Cubs visit the southern part of the city and should have come away with a far better result.  The key seemed to be defense -- the Cubs' 1's in the field booted the ball around (don't even ask what the 2's and 3's did), while the Sox (particularly lead gloves like Sherry Robertson and Johnny Lindell) looked like they'd fit right in with the 1969 Orioles or maybe the Harlem Globetrotters.
 
DPs were very important too: one team found gb(A)'s everywhere, even when it required a microscope; the other could roll a column full of them and avoid them with surgical precision....
 
 
Game 1: Murry Dickson got a rare break from his season from hell (replay ERA: 4.67 even after today; real life ERA: 3.07) and went the distance, allowing just 6 singles and no XBH in the Cubs' 5-2 win.  Despite a solid advantage in the hit column (see also game 4) the contest was razor-close until Dickson delivered an RBI single (his second RBI of the game) in the 6th and Eddie Waitkus followed with a sac fly.
 
=============================================
 
Game 2: The Sox turned 3 critical DPs against the Cubs and the dice went to incredible lengths to avoid having the Cubs turn any.  Every time we missed an easy DP in the field, naturally a clutch RBI followed.  Final score: 4-2.  For the second straight day the White Sox got no extra-base hits, but the timely singles, DP avoidance, and helpful blown-x's by the Cubbie defense sabotaged starter Jesse Flores.
 
=============================================
 
Game 3: Cubs fielders again came up small (FOUR errors and some other damage) and turned another shoulda-been win into an actual loss.  Shortly after donating a couple of undeserved run to our opponent, Jim Russell had a slim 1-19 chance at a 2-run double.  These are the Cubs; he got the 20.  We meekly submitted to our inevitable fate from that point on.  Final score: 5-2.
 
=============================================
 
Game 4: The Cubs were outhitting the Sox 7-2 at one point -- and were, of course, losing.  Finally the North Siders, who would outhit the Southerners by a slender 15-6 margin, put 3 runs on the board by way of 3 hits and a walk in the 6th (and no GIDP for a change!) but Johnny Schmitz choked up a pinch-homer to Ron Northey in the 7th to totally erase the lead.
 
Ralph Hamner took over and kept the Sox off the board in the 8th & 9th and the offense turned 3 singles into 2 runs in the 8th.  Final score: 5-3.  Hamner, a recently-activated minor leaguer, has appeared just 4 times but he's registered a win and a save and temporarily sports a decent ERA (0.00).  Meanwhile our annointed closer has 5 blown saves and -- worse yet -- 7 losses so far with a super-arsonistic ERA of 6.5.
