Subject: Opening day report from Boston
The 1946 season isn't yet a week old, and the Cubs have already locked up the uncoveted Unluckiest Team in the Universe Award for the umpteenth consecutive year. After losing not one, not two, but three straight one-run games at home to open another brutal campaign where we underachieve our talent by 15 games or so, the Cubbie lucklessness was in midseason form exactly one game into our road season. First off, Braves starter Johnny Sain took a NO-HITTER into the 8th inning. Amazingly, the Cubs were not yet losing because Johnny Schmitz actually pitched *better* than Sain! Both starters ended up allowing 2 hits, but Schmitz allowed no runs at all to Sain's one, and two fewer walks. Naturally, these being the Cubs, Schmitz got squat to show for his outstanding effort. We came close to a few hits along the way, as Boston's 4 at third base, their e47 at SS and their e30 at 2B were a perfect 4 for 4 on x-plays. Chicago's first x-chance of the season went to our one and only 4 in the field -- of course he blew it. CHN second baseman Don Johnson opened up the 8th with our first hit of the day, a single. One out later, pinch-hitter Peanuts Lowrey stepped in for Schmitz and delivered a runner-advancing groundout. Phil Cavarretta then followed with a single that became an RBI when Boston -- how could they possibly NOT know our infamous lack of success on baserunning (or any other) split cards? -- inexplicably cut off the throw home and conceded the run for an out! Our first-round pick Tiny Bonham took the mound for the bottom of the 8th and proved to be deceptively effective, retiring the side in order. Bonham made it 4 outs in a row when he got Ray Sanders to fly out to open the dreaded (and for good reason) bottom of the ninth -- and then the Attack of the Microscopic Probability events commenced, as they so often do against the Cubs. Tommy Holmes singled and Bonham (WP rating: a mere 2 out of 20) wild pitched him to second. Then with Boston one out away from defeat, new CHN catcher Birdie Tebbetts (PB rating: a mere 3 out of 20) passed balled Holmes to third. Coming as no surprise whatsoever, Bonham proceeded to choke up the game-tying hit before registering that ever-elusive final out. And a new charter member of the Arson Squad is christened. The Cubs went down 1-2-3 in the 10th as we had so often in today's contest, and Bonham completed his first choke in wham-bam form: single, double, ballgame. Final score: 2-1, and we'll take that award now, thanks. Alan |
