Subject: Cubs @ Dodgers

The Cubs continue to outscore our opponents overall but remain well below .500 and far removed from the pennant race because of the worst luck imaginable all season long, despite a level of talent on par or better than that of many contenders.  Chicago won't win the pennant, but we can attempt to make it tough for those who might, at least in our road games....
 
 
Game 1: Even though we allowed 0 earned runs and built a moderately significant 20-10 advantage in total bases, it took a miracle comeback and 12 grueling innings for the Cubs to deservedly prevail.  Final score: 4-3. 
 
The Cubs got 2 RISP with 0 outs in the 3rd, and naturally scored 0 runs.  Seconds later a critical error by our Gold Glove first baseman opened the door and a clutch 2-out single gave Brooklyn a totally unearned 3-1 lead.  CHN starter Doyle Lade exited after 4 innings, and for the next 8 the bullpen kept the Dodgers off the board and held them to just 2 hits (!).
 
After LOBbing the bases-loaded in the 7th and getting a runner (just one of ever so many in this series) nailed at the plate in the 8th, the Cubs staged a rare 2-out rally of our own in the 9th and tied the contest!  We tried to give the Dodgers unearned run #4 in the bottom of the 9th, but didn't quite, and Bob Scheffing's sac fly in the 12th won it at last.  Rotation starter Murry Dickson pitched the 11th and 12th frames and got the W, and then....
 
==============================================
 
Game 2: Ironman Dickson took the mound to start game 2 and pitched remarkably well, as did Brooklyn's Harry Taylor.  Each starter lasted 7 innings and gave up only 4 hits.  Taylor walked 8 Chicago batters but all we did, in typical fashion, was LOB.
 
Dickson took an early 3-0 lead, getting a hit, driving in a run and even stealing a base.  Then it was back to LOB City for the rest of the day, but the Dodgers could only get within a run and Ralph Hamner tossed 2 hitless innings for the save.  Final score: 3-2.
 
==============================================
 
Game 3: HAL laser-beamed in on Jess Flores' hittable 5-column and had us hitting into DP's galore when we weren't getting gunned down on the bases otherwise.  The Cubs blew 2 leads then fatally choked up 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th to break the tie.  Final score: 8-6.
 
BRN scored 2 runs in the first after 2 were out and nobody on base, plated 2 runs in the 3rd after 2 were out and nobody on base, and scored a couple more 2-out runs for good measure.  Nobody can say that the Cubs don't know what a clutch hit looks like, even if our batters normally seem to be clueless in that area.
 
Alan
