Previous message                 Next message Message #: 17145 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Jan 29, 2015 Subject: Cubs @ A's After finally playing up to our actual talent level during autoplay, the Cubs revert to form and eliminate themselves from the pennant race by losing 2 of 3 to the team with the worst record in the majors, as only the most luckless team in the universe can do....     Game 1: Consigned to the scrap heap when nobody saw fit to select him in the 1943 draft, it appeared that pitcher Lou Ciola's Pre-Smiley career would be even shorter than his brief MLB career.  But the A's, desperate for pitching, rescued this scrub and started him against the Pirates.  Performing as his card suggests he should, Ciola was raked for 7 baserunners and 4 runs in just 3 innings of work.   But then he got to face the Cubs, and Ciola's elevator quickly rose from the outhouse to the penthouse.   The guy whose card should be declared a disaster area merely tossed 6 shutout innings at the unluckiest team anywhere.  It's not that he pitched particularly well, permitting 10 baserunners, but of course the Cubs' LOB machine was humming along to perfection and all 10 were stranded (and don't forget the timely GIDP, CS and pickoff).  The pickoff was especially well-timed, coming before 2 hits would have produced the game-tying RBI.   Luckless Claude Passeau started for the Cubs and deserved a far better fate than his 1-0 loss, the Cubs' 19th costly 1-run defeat.   ============================================================================   Game 2: Eight of the nine CHN starters recorded at least one hit, and took a long enough break from LOB (8) and timely GIDP (2) to push 6 runs across the plate.  That was enough for Hiram Bithorn to record his 13th win of the season in Chicago's 6-3 victory.    Each time the Cubs scored the A's fought gamely back, but didn't quite get us to accomplish the choke.  Phil Cavarretta had 3 hits including a home run, and semi-closer Murry Dickson at long last recorded his first save of the year.   ============================================================================   Game 3: We now resume our regularly scheduled programming.  After Philadelphia's first batter of the game singled, then took 3 more bases on a simple SB attempt, powerless .160 hitter Pete Suder stepped to the plate in the PHA 2nd and rolled a HR 1, fb(B) 2-20.   Only against the Cubs is a 5% chance at success considered to be automatic; naturally Suder got the 1.   Would that make a difference?  Cubs lose, 2-1, our 20th costly 1-run defeat.  Philly pitcher Bill Lee had a fine outing against his real-life teammates by limiting them to 5 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings.   Alan
