Remember that time...

[Fred Hornkohl]

i was there the last time the cubs won a game

 

Tell us what it was like, Grandpa.

 

we had a very hard time scoring runs, we had lost out best offensive threat to a freak accident a week or so before. Juan Pierre came in to score in the first inning. then jock jones got doubled off 2nd with the bases loaded killing a great rally, the pirates then scored on a infield single by joe randa. then the 8th inning came and matt murton hit the ball just out of the reach of jack wilson, jerry hairston came around to score. Ryan dempster came in to close down the pirates. it was great

 

:-k

 

LIAR. You are accusing the Cubs of ACTUALLY scoring a couple of runs, not to mention accusing them of winning a game? You better have some serious hard evidence to back up the claim. 8)

 

By golly, it happened just like he said.......

 

BOTTOM OF THE FIRST INNING

 

Pierre singled to right field

Pierre stole second base

Cedeno sacrificed to the pitcher, safe at first on a throwing error, E1, Pierre scored

Walker struck out (called)

Cedeno thrown out trying to steal, 2-4

Ramirez flied out to center field

 

1 runs, 1 hits, 1 errors, 0 men left on base

 

BOTTOM OF THE EIGHTH INNING

 

Pierre grounded out to short, 1-6-3

Cedeno flied out to right field

Walker walked, Hairston pinch running

Torres in to pitch for Pittsburgh

Ramirez grounded an IF single to short, Hairston to second

Murton singled to center field, Hairston scored, Ramirez to third

Jones grounded into a FC, 6 unassisted, Murton out at second

 

1 runs, 2 hits, 0 errors, 2 men left on base

 

              1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9    R H E
Pittsburgh    0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0    1 4 1 
CUBS          1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 x    2 7 1 

 

Two runs.... in the SAME game !!!!

Fred, you're not allowed to use these "facts" to help anyone's arguments. None of us remember the Cubs winning a game, so it never happened.

I have an idea, can we get a hold of someone at WGN tonight and have them change the opening song. Instead of Jump or whatever they are playing this year, have them play the theme song to Chariots of Fire.

 

Use cutaways of people actually hitting home runs or scoring from earlier this season.

Sorry.... won't let it happen again. :oops:

Two runs in the same game?!?

 

I suppose back then gas only cost $2.75 / gallon too right?
