Subject: Cubs @ Braves

After another routine Cubbie choke in the opener, we rebound to take 3 close games, 2 of which shouldn't have been....
 
 
Game 1: Sabotage defense at its most blatant, the chief culprit being Chicago 2B Ray Mack.  Mack committed 3 errors and at least 2 other blown-x chokes, including the one which permitted the losing run to score in the bottom of the 12th.  Our 5 errors led to 2 critical unearned runs and a 6-5 loss.
 
Boston's Ed Lopat pitched 11 innings despite fooling very few hitters (12 hits, 3 walks, 5 runs) but left just one frame prior to the conclusion.  CHN ace closer Emil Kush (1-8, 6.29 ERA -- nice, eh?) took the loss but there were plenty of goat horns to go around after blowing a 3-run lead in the late innings, as the Cubs do nearly every chance they get.
 
======================================================
 
Game 2: A game played on almost totally even terms went to the Cubs when Jim Russell tripled in the 8th inning -- and wasn't stranded!  Final score: 2-1.  Fred Sanford took a tough loss for the Braves, but Johnny Schmitz pitched just a little bit better.  Schmitz won his 4th decision in a row, finally getting his record above .500 (11-10) for the first time in 1947 in spite of his terrible 3.38 ERA.
 
======================================================
 
Game 3: The Cubs racked up hits galore off of Joe Coleman and took a 7-1 lead before typically letting our opponent make it close.  Final score: 8-4.  Phil Cavarretta's 3-run homer in the first gave the visitors a lead that was never quite relinquished. 
 
Murry Dickson (11-10) now has 5 wins in his last 6 decisions, and permitted just 1 earned run today as a blown-x festival by the CHN outfield gave the Braves 3 runs in the 7th.  Chicago outhit Boston 13-7 and drew 5 walks to their 1, but all our E's and LOB prevented this from being a true laugher.
 
======================================================
 
Game 4: At one point the Cubs were outhitting Boston 10-3 but were leading by just one thin run thanks to our usual top-notch performance in the clutch.  Doyle Lade pitched decently (5 IP, 5 baserunners, 1 run) but needed 4 innings of relief help to secure a narrow 3-2 win.
 
Boston's Warren Spahn was easily hittable, but the hits were all singles and he only walked 1 in 7 IP & got the Cubs to LOB 8 during that time.  The Braves loaded the bases with 0 out in the bottom of the 9th, but Eddie '1' Waitkus at first base got an x-grounder -- and didn't choke on it!  He turned a DP which plated a run, after which our true relief ace Ralph Hamner fanned Eddie Miksis on 3 pitches to end it.
 
The clock will soon strike midnight for Hamner, a minor-league scrub called up in midseason thanks to the record-setting underachievement of our ace arsonist, but for now his stats read: 1 win & 3 saves in 7 appearances, 13 IP, 5 hits, 10 K's and 0 runs allowed.
 
Because of his success (or maybe it's his lack of a relief rating), HAL absolutely refuses to pitch Hamner in a home game.
 
Alan
