Cub-Dodger game
May 13, 2004 at 04:29AM View BBCode
Most of you non-Dodger or non-Cub fans won't care but they're having a crazy game tonight. First, in the 3rd, the Dodgers had 5 base hits for 2 runs. The strange part was they had 4 infield hits, FOUR!!!!!!!! Then comes Alex Cora's at-bat in the 7th. He went from a 2-1 count and fouled off 14 balls off until he hit a homer on the 18th pitch. An 18 pitch at-bat is amazing enough but Clement made more pitches in that at-bat than any inning other than the third, not to mention Alex Cora hit the homer. Sorry if none of you care but that was a crazy game

About the third, though, from what I heard about it, it should have been at least one error. Clement made a lollipop throw to first from his knees, a better peg would have ended the inning. Then the hot smash that bounced off Ramirez to Martinez at short probably should have been an out. Either way, you hate to see runs score on that kind of junk. But I'm not too mad, because I mean, you gotta at least score a run.. the Cubs lost 4-0
Speaking of the 4 infield hits, that reminds me of something strange I saw this year... It was Cubs - Dbacks, and the Dbacks made three consecutive errors in the infield to start an inning. A bad throw from the 3B, a muffed double play throw from 2B, and a missed grounder by 1B going to his right. Should have been a 1-2-3 inning, instead you had bases loaded, no outs. Weird.

Dude, I just wrote about that in another post... I missed the third inning (lets just say I was indesposed), but that Cora at bat was unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen an at bat like that, where the guy ends up with a homer... I mean, he saw every pitch Clement had, and then some. Wow, I was upset with the outcome, but I appreciate good baseball. I think Clement just threw one strike too many, he gave it a whale of an effort, but Cora was just too tough this time.About the third, though, from what I heard about it, it should have been at least one error.

i saw that game. I believe that they actually had 3 infield hits because one of them was ruled an error (although i agree with the announcers that it shouldnt have been)
happy
so i went back up to the house.
(yes yes, i know the dodgers can score now, and their pitching isnt THAT good, although it is very good)

correction: i watched until the dodgers scored 2 runs, and then determined: a) that is impossible b) the Cubs cant score TWO runs against the dodgers and c) i was done eating my hot pocketso i went back up to the house.

Cora's at bat was amazing. I was listening to it on the radio, and I was like "If he hits a homer that would be awesome." So he did.I'm psyhcic.

happy, it was ruled an error, but the officials changed the ruling the next inning. They might have changed it back but the last time I looked, the Cubs had no errors in the game.
