Previous message                 Next message Message #: 15963 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Mar 10, 2014 Subject: Cubs @ Pirates It was fun while it lasted, but the Cubs are starting to get back to our unique brand of baseball.  It may not be feasible to blow a 21-game lead (we're over 20% of the way there though!) but if there's one team in the history of baseball who can do it....     Game 1: Woeful underachiever Hank Wyse was given the thankless task of opposing the most overachieving pitcher anywhere, and he would have had a lot better chance -- and perhaps even prevailed -- if his offense hadn't been in full LOB Mode.  Wyse & 2 relievers combined on a 7-hitter to our 10, but 10 was our LOB number too.  Cubs lose, 2-1.   Down 2-0 after 8, the first 4 Chicago batters reached base, narrowing the gap to 2-1 and leaving them loaded for Stan Hack -- who promptly hit into the requisite infield-in 3-2-3 DP and the next batter would have done the same except there were already 2 outs.   =================================================================   Game 2: The offense gave another of our underachieving starters, Claude Passeau, more than 0 runs to work with; in fact he was up 2-0 in the 6th when he was ordered to report to the operating table.  Seven batters later his 2-0 lead was a 3-2 deficit, and that's how it ended.   PIN's Nick Strincevich went the distance, giving up only a pair of early runs via our only two extra-base hits of the first 27 innings of the series; Phil Cavarretta tripled and wasn't stranded in the 1st, and Al Lakeman homered leading off the 3rd.   =================================================================   Game 3: Having tied our longest losing streak of the 1945 season (3 games), we were primed to break the record when Paul Derringer forfeited another hard-earned 2-0 lead.  Not that it was really his fault: among the unlikely events of the series (such as repeatedly missing 1-18 split card chances at hits) was a timely 2-out, 2-base blown-x howler by Gold Glove SS Marty Marion which tied up today's game, one of the two runs laughably scored as "earned".   With the CHN offense entirely shackled by Pittsburgh's pitchers (somebody named Max Butcher today), it was up to the Cubbie bullpen to be perfect out there, and they were -- at least they didn't allow any runs.  That paved the way for Jim Russell to come one split card away from missing an easy HR chance in the top of the 10th.   But he didn't miss, and the Cubs finally eked out a win to avoid the sweep.  Final score: 3-2 in 10.   Alan
