Subject: Cubs @ Reds

The Cubbies return to utterly luckless form and in just two short weeks render a spectacular autoplay moot.  Chicago extended its season-high losing streak to 6 games before salvaging the finale of this series (but then prepared to start a new losing streak at home immediately). 
 
Having zero chance to win the N.L. pennant, the Cubs officially throw in the towel on 1944 even though we still might finish with nearly a .600 winning percentage.  As a result of the towel throwing, CHN All-Star pitcher Paul Derringer found that his return-trip train ticket to Chicago was not punched and so he will be staying behind in Cincinnati permanently....
 
 
Game 1: As it was last week, the #1 offense in the majors was completely stymied this week and that became evident right from the first pitch.  Two CIN pitchers combined on a 3-hitter against the suddenly comatose Cubbies, and the #1 most screwed defense in the majors aided the Cincy cause by committing 4 errors.  Final score: 5-0, with perhaps one of those five being deserved.
 
Two timely Cub errors donated a pair of runs in the CIN 3rd, ex-Cub Chuck Workman delivered a clutch single in the 5th for the only honest run of the day, and two more timely Cub errors surrounded a laughable hit & run chart single by swing-and-a-miss .175-hitting slugger Pat Seerey to donate two more undeserved runs, and that was the ballgame.
 
The formerly fabulous CHN offense mustered 2 singles, a double and no walks.
 
=======================================================================
 
Game 2: The #1 offense in the majors at least managed to record a pulse today though just barely (6 singles, 1 double, 4 walks), but then proceeded to blow not one but two 2-run leads before finally choking in the 10th inning.  Final score: 5-4.
 
Workman again delivered a fatal blow to his ex-mates, as his double plated the losing run.  CHN starter Hank Wyse had pitched effectively most of the time, the difference between him and CIN starter Bucky Walters being the two split-card gophers (one right at the limit) Walters *didn't* allow, but Wyse of course did.
 
Cincinnati pounded out a 20-8 advantage in total bases, so the Cubs were "lucky" just to lose by a run.  That sort of "luck" has been with us all year, as the *entire* difference in the standings between the Cardinals and the Cubs is found in the one-run game records of the respective teams.
 
=======================================================================
 
Game 3: Yet another inoffensive outing for the Cubs (5 singles, 1 double, 3 walks) but today the Reds got far less than that.  Tiny Bonham combined with Paul Erickson on a 3-hitter as the devastating losing streak came to an end by the score of 3-0.
 
Bonham got next to no support most of the way, taking a slender 1-0 lead into the 9th before we turned 4 baserunners into 2 runs and one more gunned at the plate.  The insurance gave Erickson some breathing room with which to record his 4th save.
 
In his last 12 starts Bonham is 9-0, 2.55 and has lowered his ERA from a season-worst 5.63 to 3.73.
