00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:30,000
How you doing everybody? LeBoudreau with the leadoff man from Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Canada, for the last appearance of the Cubs in Montreal, and they're going to send number 33, Bill Barnum.
3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,000
He's going to go against number 33, Wayne Twitzell, for the Montreal Expos. The leadoff man is brought to you by Easygo Service Station, serving you throughout Chicagoland.
4
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:50,000
We'll be talking to our guest, a gentleman who's certainly gained a milestone in his career as a Major League ball player, and there's going to be many, many more milestones for this fine gentleman.
5
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Tony Perez of the Montreal Expos in just one minute.
6
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:03,000
If you've never been to an Easygo Service Station, there couldn't be a better time than right now to break a bad habit.
7
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000
There's lots of reasons to go Easygo. Just the cost of gasoline, what it is today, should be reason enough.
8
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:21,000
You'll find only top quality, high performance gas at our pumps, and our Easygo prices are about as reasonable as you'll find anywhere, and anywhere is just about where we are.
9
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:34,000
There's Easygo serving you from northwest Indiana to Rockford and all over Chicagoland, and chances are there's one right in your neighborhood, serving you the most efficient way it can, offering you clean, fast, and defendable service.
10
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Many Easygo's even offer you convenience items such as fresh milk, soda pop, ice, and bread. Yes, at Easygo we have a lot to offer.
11
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Take heed to that old saying, try it, you'll like it, because now is the opportune time to start a good habit. Everyone's going Easygo.
12
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Tony Perez is our guest. Tony reached that milestone that I mentioned earlier by driving in his 1200th RBI, and only three other men in baseball as active that has driven in that many, Willie McCovey, Carl Yastramsky, Tony Perez, and Willie Stargell, who is on the Disablist right now.
13
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:27,000
And that is a great milestone and one that you should be very proud of, Tony. Yes, I am. Really, I was looking for this the whole year, and I didn't know if I could reach it this year because I wasn't playing for Cincinnati.
14
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:38,000
You know, we get a lot of men on base over there, and here in Montreal we don't have the same kind of offense that Cincinnati have, but I've been lucky this year, and I get a man on base, and I came through with that, but I need a run.
15
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:51,000
And really I'm proud to be in that group, in me, at 1200 RBI, really. I think any ball player should be proud of himself. Absolutely. That's a great milestone.
16
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And more to come because you have several years left, I'm quite sure, in this game of baseball. Since the All-Star game, you've been swinging a hot bat. Was there anything that you changed to bring that about?
17
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:17,000
No, I didn't change at all. I think early on in the year I was trying too hard to help this ball club, and this is a young ball club, and I was trying to get my experience and trying to drop in more runs and trying to hit more home runs.
18
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And really the pitcher was beating around me, and I was swinging a lot of better pitches. And then after the other start break I said, well, Tony, you better go back and do what you were doing in all your career.
19
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:36,000
You know, go to the opposite field, go to the right field and hit a ball or whatever. And I've been doing that lately, and really I got good success off.
20
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And I think mentally you've sort of relaxed more in the atmosphere here in Montreal because it must have been a shock to you when the trade was first accumulated between Cincinnati and Montreal.
21
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Well, it surprised me a little when I hear about it, but after that I said, well, if Cincinnati wants to trade me because they've got somebody else younger and they can do the job. I just said, well, Montreal wants me.
22
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:09,000
And, you know, they go to a new stadium and they want to build a contender here. I might help. And I took the challenge and said, well, I'll go and see what I can do.
23
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Well, I think you're going to be a contender in the near future, if not next year. All you need is about two pitchers that can give you 15 to 18 wins. You've got a veteran ball club with a very young outfield, but this year will help them tremendously and experience. They have great ability, don't they?
24
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Yeah, I think they got a young ball club, especially in the outfield. And we lost a lot of games. We made a lot of mistakes this year, but I think they will learn and next year I know we're going to play better. And like you said, we need a couple of pitchers that can give us a win and another guy on the bullpen, you know, a good reliever.
25
00:04:45,000 --> 00:05:00,000
And really that's what we're looking for. And I think we're going to be a contender soon. Tony, when you first come over here and come into this ballpark, Olympic Stadium, it's a huge area. But then after you play a few games here, the ball seem to carry well, don't they?
26
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Yeah, they both carry good. You got a hitter, but they still carry good. And I had them the year watching, but now, you know, in the middle of the year, it's still warm and things like that. I think the atmosphere is better and they both carry very well.
27
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Now with a man next to you like Davy Cash, of course, you had the great one Morgan on your right also. This means that they can carry the glove quite well and carry the territory so you can guard the line a little more.
28
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Oh, he's right. Davy got a lot of ground and really, you know, he helped me like Morgan did. And I think I can play the line better. And Davy really helped this ball club because he got the experience and he helped me and everybody in this club.
29
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:53,000
You made a play last night that saved the run, going to your right backhand of the ball and tossing it to the pitcher. It looked like it was a base hit all the way. And these little plays, execution means so much. When you execute, you win.
30
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Well, you got to be ready anytime you are laying in and you're tied. You got to, you know, the game is tied. You have to, you have to be ready for anything here close to you and maybe play.
31
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Tony, you have 80 some RBIs. You're looking for that 100?
32
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:21,000
What I'm looking for, really, I'm looking for is 90 because you know I have 10 straight years, got the record 10 straight years. You know, to draw me more than 90. And I need five. I had 85 and I really looking at the 90. But I give 100 much better.
33
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000
I think you will. You've got a lot of ball games left for you and several right here in the home ballpark. And these fans have been terrific this year. You're going to draw over a million, 400,000.
34
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Yeah, I think so. I think we're going to break that record. They say here under the first year, 59 and really depend being gray. And this is a good baseball town.
35
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,000
I want to thank you very much for coming over and talking with us and offer all of us to you. Congratulations on a great job.
36
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Thank you, Lou.
37
00:06:47,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Tony Perez, fine gentleman and who's reached the milestone in his career driving in 1200 RBIs. And as you heard him, he has led the league. He has a record of driving in 90 or more runs batted in for the last 10 years.
38
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:13,000
So actually, perhaps it was a great trade for Montreal Expos with the Cincinnati Reds. We'll be right back after this message.
39
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Brandiff gives you choices.
40
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Flying to Houston, Brandiff gives you choices.
41
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Five non stops every business day. That's more non stops than any other airline or a choice of six other weekday departures.
42
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:20,000
People who fly a lot like variety, especially at breakfast. So we choose one of 16 different breakfasts to put aboard each breakfast flight. This way we can serve you a different breakfast almost every time you fly Brandiff.
43
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:32,000
This is the blue growl and this has been the leadoff man and tonight it's going to be a two right handers, which are on the mound for the Montreal Expos against the Bill Bonham for the Chicago Cubs.
44
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And the Cubs are hoping to break that five game losing streak right here tonight because we have a big weekend series of five games with the New York Mets and New York coming up.
45
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:55,000
This has been the leadoff man brought to you by easy go service stations serving you throughout Chicago and now stay tuned for Vince Lloyd and tonight's ballgame between the Chicago Cubs and the Montreal Expos.
46
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:02,000

54
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Wow!
55
00:10:50,000 --> 00:11:12,000
The Chicago Cubs are on the air. Good evening everybody and welcome once again to Major League Baseball.
56
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And let's hope tonight we're going to be able to report a cup victory for you. Seems like it's been forever today.
57
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:30,000
And tonight they meet the Montreal Expos for the final time in the season and while they hold an edge over this club for the season series, beating them 10 out of 17.
58
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:39,000
In the last eight meetings Montreal has had the big edge. The Expos have knocked off the Cubs six times in the last eight meetings between them this year.
59
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,000
That's enough of that. Bill Bonham with a 3-0 record against Montreal for the season.
60
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Will be trying to even up for the year against the Expos tonight. A cup veteran right hander is now 10-11 and he goes up against Wayne Pwichell.
61
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Big right hander started the season with the Philadelphia Phillies and right now he has a dime store record, 5-10 for the year.
62
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:16,000
I'm Vince Lloyd and along with Lou Boudreau we welcome you to our broadcast. Tonight's game for Montreal's Olympic Stadium is brought to you by General Finances 65 Chicagoland offices.

Wild Oldsmobile in Libertyville, the world's largest selling Oldsmobile dealer. The G. Hyam and Brewing Company of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
65
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Makers of Old Style, the pure brewed beer from God's country and by True Value hardware stores. That's not just a name, it's their way of doing business. True value.
66
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Dick Williams meeting out at home right this year for the Expos with Peanuts Lowry, German Frank's third base coach meeting with the umpires.
67
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,000
This broadcast tonight is authorized under rights granted by the Chicago National League Ball Club which has a right of approval to the announcers for this event.

00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:13,000
It's solely for the entertainment of our audience and any publication, rebroadcast, or other use of the descriptions and accounts of the game without the express written consent of the Chicago National League Ball Club is prohibited.
69
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Weather conditions are a little more suitable for baseball. Here in Montreal tonight we don't have that wintry wind blowing in around the stadium. Even the players last night were talking about it after the ball game and today they had never felt this cold.
70
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Even those who have been up in the old ballpark, Jerry Clark, as they did here last night. And they were cold at the plate too because after the third inning when Larry Bittner led off with a home run, his third against this ball club this year, from that point on, Cubs managed only two hits.
71
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
And of course as you know by now, dropped one in twelve buttings, the last four in three to two.
72
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Tonight young Mike Gordon is going to be doing the catching again. He's the catcher that Cubs just brought up from Wichita.
73
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Worked in last night's ball game and he'll be Bonham's battery mate tonight. But leading off for the Cubs will be Ivan DeJesus at shortstop.
74
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Larry Bittner, who was sixth for twelve in his last three ball games, will be batting second playing in left field with Bill Buckner over at first base hitting third. Jerry Morales, who did not start last night, tonight will be in center field and hit in the clean up position.
75
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:42,000
And of course, the first baseman, Steve Mercer batting fifth, playing in right field. Steve Anabares will be at third base hitting sixth. Manny Trio at second, batting seventh. And the rookie, Mike Gordon, with Bill Bonham ten and eleven for the year.
76
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Maybe cash to lead off at second base. The rookie up from Denver, Stan Pappy, he ATI, will be at third, hitting in the number two spot. Andre Dawson hitting in third position. Dawson, the center fielder.
77
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Here's a fellow that helped break our hearts last night. Tony Perez, first baseman, hitting in the clean up spot. Alice Valentine in right field batting fifth. Gary Carter doing the catching, followed by the left fielder, Warren Cromarty.
78
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Cromarty hitting seventh. First fire at the shortstop, hitting eighth. The pitcher, battered right hander, Wayne Twitchell.
79
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Pittsburgh and the St. Louis Cardinals are underway in their first game tonight at St. Louis.
80
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:37,000
And they're in the fourth inning. John Candelaria going for the Pirates against Eric Rasmussen for the cards.
81
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:43,000
And there is no score in the fourth. That's the first of their finite doubleheaders. You know by now they were rained out last night.
82
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:55,000
The New York Mets at Philadelphia tonight have Craig Swan pitching against Randy Lurch, both have won eight ballgames for the respective ball clubs this year. Swan is eight and eight and Lurch eight and five.
83
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:02,000
And of course we'll be at New York tomorrow to finish a suspended game caused by the blackout.
84
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And then a regular game tomorrow evening.
85
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:18,000
And a single game on Saturday followed by a Sunday doubleheader. That too caused by the blackout. Earlier today at San Francisco, before a pretty slim turnout, 1612.
86
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Houston defeated the Giants 6-3. The gene fence coming on and getting a split win against Ed Helicki.
87
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Ed Herman got his first homer of the year, Bob Watson Homer. Now the National Anthems.
88
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Music
89
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Music
90
00:16:50,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Music
91
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Oh
92
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Oh
93
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Oh
94
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Oh
95
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,400
Rounds of white
96
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
breaking
97
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Oh
98
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,280
the first game in the first
99
00:18:59,280 --> 00:18:59,480
inning.
100
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,480
And the first game between
101
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,680
Oakland and Kansas City.
102
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,220
They've gotten underway by the
103
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:05,880
blue against Andy Hasler and
104
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,560
the Oakland A's put two runs on
105
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,560
the board in the top of the
106
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:09,960
first inning.
107
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:12,060
Kansas City now coming to bat
108
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:14,460
playing Mitchell getting out to
109
00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:15,860
the mound at big six foot six
110
00:19:15,860 --> 00:19:17,400
inch right hander before he
111
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,240
Von DeJesus steps in to open up
112
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,440
the ballgame for the Cubs with
113
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:20,740
the Cubs.
114
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:21,740
And the Cubs are in the
115
00:19:21,740 --> 00:19:22,340
opening game.
116
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,340
And the Cubs are in the
117
00:19:23,340 --> 00:19:23,900
opening game.
118
00:19:24,140 --> 00:19:24,740
And the Cubs are in the
119
00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:25,240
opening game.
120
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:25,980
And the Cubs are in the
121
00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:26,540
opening game.
122
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:27,840
The Cubs would take time off
123
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,100
for this.
124
00:19:29,340 --> 00:19:31,180
If hardware manufacturers only
125
00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:33,140
made one size screw you'd only
126
00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:34,380
need one screwdriver.
127
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,240
But true value hardware stores
128
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,980
know screws come in all sizes
129
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,520
in standard and Phillips heads.
130
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,420
So just one screwdriver won't
131
00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:42,080
do the job.
132
00:19:42,780 --> 00:19:44,120
That's why true value hardware
133
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:45,420
stores offer the master
134
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:46,920
mechanic eight piece
135
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,820
screwdriver set for just four
136
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:49,320
and a quarter.
137
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,500
These eight screwdrivers come in
138
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,300
a combination of sizes with both
139
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:54,800
regular and Phillips tips.
140
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:56,440
So you'll always have the right
141
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,700
size and style for every job you
142
00:19:58,700 --> 00:19:59,100
tackle.
143
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:00,700
And they come packed in a
144
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:02,840
handy plastic snap pouch for
145
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,780
easy storing.
146
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:06,380
So unless you only use one size
147
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:08,420
screw you need a complete set of
148
00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:09,140
screwdrivers.
149
00:20:09,540 --> 00:20:11,140
Get the master mechanic eight
150
00:20:11,140 --> 00:20:12,980
piece screwdriver set for just
151
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:15,380
four twenty five exclusively at
152
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:16,620
participating true value
153
00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:37,640
hardware stores.
154
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:40,680
Wayne Tretchel twenty nine years
155
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,180
of age.
156
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,880
Then his career in the majors
157
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,940
started with the Phillies came
158
00:20:46,940 --> 00:20:48,420
over this year this ball club
159
00:20:48,420 --> 00:20:51,260
ten games under the 500 mark and
160
00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:52,920
this year he's five and ten.
161
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,960
Oh and one against the Cubs.
162
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:57,120
He lost to the Cubs earlier this
163
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:58,420
year while he was with the
164
00:20:58,420 --> 00:20:58,820
Phillies.
165
00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:01,600
But he has come on strong in
166
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,660
his last two ballgames and this
167
00:21:03,660 --> 00:21:05,200
big fellow from Portland Oregon
168
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,400
there does some basketball
169
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:08,300
appreciating in high school in
170
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:10,700
the offseason has won his last
171
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:12,580
two ballgames defeating the
172
00:21:12,580 --> 00:21:14,040
Pirates in the New York Mets.
173
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,000
So he's been getting into the
174
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:15,300
groove.
175
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,880
Yvonne DeJesus last night one
176
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,280
for six steps in hitting two
177
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,880
sixty three three homers thirty
178
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,640
four runs batted in with a
179
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,940
rookie right hander played up
180
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:28,180
fire Andy Olson what you'll get
181
00:21:28,180 --> 00:21:30,380
society here's the pitch takes
182
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:31,920
the fastball it's in too close
183
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,320
and we're underway in Olympic
184
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,760
Stadium in Montreal as the Cubs
185
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,920
try to end a five game losing
186
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,260
streak.
187
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,460
But you're missing inside of the
188
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:42,760
first one the windup here's a
189
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,860
fastball missed at the knees
190
00:21:44,860 --> 00:21:46,940
outside ball to no strikes.
191
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,100
Harry Dunlop coaching at first
192
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:50,380
base.
193
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,140
Penis Lowry at third first base
194
00:21:53,140 --> 00:21:54,340
umpire Doug Harvey.
195
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:56,340
Here's the windup and the pitch
196
00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:58,780
takes it high ball three the
197
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:01,080
leadoff man one more we'll get a
198
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:01,420
man on.
199
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,080
Crow Marty Dawson and Valentine
200
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,160
and left center and right Tony
201
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,520
Perez at first cash at second
202
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,360
here's the pitch there is a
203
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:12,220
strike call better high way and
204
00:22:12,220 --> 00:22:13,800
Yvonne not too thrilled with
205
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:14,200
that call.
206
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:18,000
Cash at second fire at short
207
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,200
stop and the rookie up from
208
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,140
Denver Stan Pappy playing the
209
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:23,600
third wind up and the big
210
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,240
fellow three one pitch taken
211
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:25,880
first strike.
212
00:22:27,340 --> 00:22:29,540
It's a lot off after getting
213
00:22:29,540 --> 00:22:31,840
behind and now he's run the
214
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,820
count for this is a completely
215
00:22:33,820 --> 00:22:35,380
carpeted surface here except
216
00:22:35,380 --> 00:22:36,380
right around the bases.
217
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:39,420
So the windup in the three to
218
00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:42,260
delivery takes outside a
219
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:44,660
breaking ball and he winds up
220
00:22:44,660 --> 00:22:47,020
coaxing a walk to lead off the
221
00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:47,500
ballgame.
222
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:50,100
It's one of the big fellows
223
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:51,060
problems this year.
224
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:54,760
He has walked 60 men and 152
225
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,900
winnings striking out 111.
226
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,380
Larry Bittner mentioned in the
227
00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:02,480
last three ballgames six hits
228
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,340
in 12 at bats four runs batted
229
00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:07,680
in and last night he got his
230
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,120
tenth home run of the year that
231
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:11,320
was leading off the third and
232
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,580
that was a final cut run of the
233
00:23:12,580 --> 00:23:12,860
night.
234
00:23:13,620 --> 00:23:15,220
Now a two ninety five hitter
235
00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:17,360
for the season with 53 runs
236
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:19,720
batted in throw the first base
237
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,120
and Yvonne is back in plenty of
238
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:21,460
time.
239
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,360
That's Leonard I'm firing at
240
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:24,540
second base tonight and Nick
241
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:26,640
Colossus third down the line
242
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,160
three hundred twenty five feet
243
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,100
to a high bright green wall.
244
00:23:31,340 --> 00:23:33,380
Quiches first pitch that takes
245
00:23:33,380 --> 00:23:37,980
a strike a fastball tomorrow of
246
00:23:37,980 --> 00:23:39,280
course will be at New York
247
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,920
finish the suspended game cause
248
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,620
for the blackout and Herman
249
00:23:42,620 --> 00:23:43,960
Franks and Barney Schultz is
250
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,260
pitching coach still not quite
251
00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:46,960
sure who will start that
252
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,320
suspended game tomorrow.
253
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:50,760
Depending on who has the arm
254
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,600
that isn't tired I guess curve
255
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,400
by Twichell and he misses low and
256
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,560
inside ball one strike one kind
257
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,960
of a slow worker straightaway
258
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,260
center field it's four hundred
259
00:24:00,260 --> 00:24:02,740
and four and the power rally is
260
00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:04,300
three hundred seventy five feet
261
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:05,400
here at Olympic Stadium.
262
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:09,280
All one strike one pitch coming
263
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,520
up the Hays is pretty good lead
264
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,020
doesn't go but her takes in a
265
00:24:12,020 --> 00:24:14,180
tie ball to strike one on Larry
266
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:16,980
we're going to have to wait a
267
00:24:16,980 --> 00:24:23,320
while to let Ted Turner capture
268
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,400
the America's Cup.
269
00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:27,260
He didn't get across the finish
270
00:24:27,260 --> 00:24:28,860
line in time today under the
271
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,800
five and a half hour time limit
272
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,840
even though he had a big lead so
273
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,540
they have to run it over.
274
00:24:33,740 --> 00:24:35,040
He has this goes better on the
275
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,700
hit and run swings and fouls it
276
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:38,680
out of play ball to strike to
277
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:42,980
you know thank you.
278
00:24:43,180 --> 00:24:44,280
Five and a half hours you've
279
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,480
got to do the whole thing over
280
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:45,740
again.
281
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:46,840
The last time they had to do
282
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,020
that.
283
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,380
Well he told me it was in 1958
284
00:24:51,180 --> 00:24:52,460
and just declare this one today
285
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:53,720
on no race.
286
00:24:58,120 --> 00:24:59,420
Lucky should have gotten a crew
287
00:24:59,420 --> 00:25:00,260
out there and they could have
288
00:25:00,260 --> 00:25:01,400
blown hard enough to get that
289
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,500
thing across due to delivery
290
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,440
fastball and Larry with a big
291
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,040
swing fouls it back and then had
292
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,940
to catch his batting helmet as
293
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:10,440
it came popping off his head.
294
00:25:18,780 --> 00:25:20,580
That's infielder Bobby Valentine
295
00:25:20,580 --> 00:25:22,420
by the way underwent successful
296
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:25,120
surgery yesterday at two bone
297
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:27,260
spurs removed from his right
298
00:25:27,260 --> 00:25:28,420
ankle Bobby Valentine.
299
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:29,860
Here's the pitch swing and a
300
00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:30,920
foul comes back into the back
301
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,160
stop.
302
00:25:35,860 --> 00:25:37,460
Back in nineteen seventy three
303
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:38,860
when Bobby who started his
304
00:25:38,860 --> 00:25:40,140
career with the Dodgers had
305
00:25:40,140 --> 00:25:41,060
moved down the coast to the
306
00:25:41,060 --> 00:25:43,600
California Angels seventy three
307
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,080
and separate a broken leg and
308
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,480
those bone spurs were a result
309
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:46,780
of that.
310
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:48,780
They got him earlier this year
311
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:50,440
from San Diego in the Dave
312
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,020
Kingman deal and Kingman from
313
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:55,720
the Padres go to first to
314
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,660
California played 10 games to
315
00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:58,820
the Angels and now the big
316
00:25:58,820 --> 00:26:00,980
fellow is back in New York with
317
00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:01,460
the Yankees.
318
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:08,360
They got him on waivers to two
319
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:10,160
pitch coming up that their
320
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,560
swings and a line drive in the
321
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,760
right field for a base hit the
322
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,700
haste is left to stop at second
323
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:15,040
base.
324
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,400
Now it's Valentine powering the
325
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,340
throw in and the Cubs have
326
00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:21,180
runners at first and second with
327
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:23,880
nobody out and Bill Buckner the
328
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,240
batter.
329
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,720
Situation last night when he
330
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,680
sacrificed in the off inning
331
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:33,520
that if he had not been able to
332
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,160
sacrifice in that first pitch
333
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,320
that he was going to they were
334
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,360
going to put the hit and run on
335
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:38,920
to the next one.
336
00:26:39,460 --> 00:26:40,460
He said it's probably just as
337
00:26:40,460 --> 00:26:41,900
well they did have me sacrifice
338
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:43,400
because he said I was swinging
339
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,360
the bat so badly.
340
00:26:47,140 --> 00:26:48,640
See what they have a left handed
341
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,780
hitting veteran do now.
342
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,580
Buckner batting to ninety seven
343
00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:54,000
for the year was officially 0
344
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,140
for 5 last night as 11 homers
345
00:26:57,140 --> 00:26:59,040
this year and driven in 58 runs
346
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,380
club runners at first and second
347
00:27:01,380 --> 00:27:02,780
with nobody out on a walk and a
348
00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:04,020
single off Wayne Quitchell.
349
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,280
Here's the pitch takes and it's
350
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,660
a strike on the inside corner at
351
00:27:07,660 --> 00:27:10,620
the belt but with a hundred and
352
00:27:10,620 --> 00:27:13,660
nine base hits this year Jerry
353
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:15,700
Brownice who has been battling
354
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:17,160
a slump in the on deck circle
355
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:18,600
over in the third base side
356
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,800
carpet looks like it's still
357
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,400
soaked from the heavy rains that
358
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,340
fell here yesterday.
359
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:26,600
All one delivery Buckner swings
360
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,080
pulls a ground ball to cash could
361
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,480
be a double play over the spire
362
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,280
the relay and it is double play
363
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,180
one hundred and nineteenth of
364
00:27:34,180 --> 00:27:37,820
the year by the Expos hold a
365
00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:40,280
hard ground ball to Davey Cash
366
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,560
the H.S. is on a third but
367
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,060
they're too gone and Jerry
368
00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:45,020
Morales stepping in.
369
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:49,460
He's stepping in and oh man.
370
00:27:55,460 --> 00:27:57,060
Need a base hit now or an error
371
00:27:57,060 --> 00:27:58,760
while pitcher pass ball to get
372
00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,560
on the scoreboard.
373
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:02,000
Brownice batting to 90 then
374
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,040
homers 68 runs batted in and his
375
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,640
last RBI came at San Francisco
376
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,340
when he hit that 10th homer of
377
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:11,780
the year.
378
00:28:11,780 --> 00:28:15,140
That was August the 26th and
379
00:28:15,140 --> 00:28:16,820
that is a powerful long slump
380
00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:22,120
right under leveling that bat
381
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:23,420
rather nervously now cocks it
382
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:23,680
high.
383
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,280
Here's the pitch by Tweedle and
384
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,620
he takes a strike at the knees
385
00:28:26,620 --> 00:28:27,560
on the outside corner.
386
00:28:31,820 --> 00:28:33,600
A walk a single but Buckner
387
00:28:33,620 --> 00:28:36,100
pulls a hard ground ball onto
388
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:37,660
the carpet to cash they converted
389
00:28:37,660 --> 00:28:38,540
into a double play.
390
00:28:38,660 --> 00:28:40,440
Oh one delivery curve and he
391
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,940
almost threw it away back ended
392
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:44,440
by Gary Carter ball one strike
393
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:44,700
one.
394
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,520
Gary Koosman slid to start the
395
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,720
suspended game for the Mets
396
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,680
tomorrow and they regularly
397
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,880
scheduled game to follow it.
398
00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:57,960
Herman Franks and Barney Schultz
399
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,760
still not sure.
400
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:00,760
One one delivery swung out at a
401
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,060
high pop foul it is out of play
402
00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:04,720
behind the Montreal dugout one
403
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,520
and two on Morales.
404
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,460
They're not quite sure who will
405
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:09,000
start that suspended game
406
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,560
tomorrow.
407
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,640
Well it depends on who doesn't
408
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,640
have a tired arm who has to be
409
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,500
used here tonight.
410
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,140
Rick Russell is scheduled to go
411
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:19,300
against Koosman in the regular
412
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:20,240
day scheduled game.
413
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:25,380
Nino Espinosa who drove in a run
414
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:27,220
last night against the Phillies
415
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:29,020
shut him out on three hits and
416
00:29:29,020 --> 00:29:29,980
scheduled a pitch one of the
417
00:29:29,980 --> 00:29:32,260
game Sunday against the Cubs two
418
00:29:32,260 --> 00:29:34,160
out of one two pitch breaking
419
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,420
ball low and outside ball to
420
00:29:36,420 --> 00:29:38,960
strike to what you're a big
421
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,400
gangly fellow and sometimes he
422
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,360
looks like he's just kind of
423
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,460
shot putting the ball.
424
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:51,980
Come on little guy get a hit to
425
00:29:51,980 --> 00:29:53,400
off runner at third and to to
426
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,780
delivery curveball low and
427
00:29:55,780 --> 00:29:57,140
outside it's three and two.
428
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,820
Bobby Mercer the on deck circle
429
00:30:02,580 --> 00:30:03,820
and let's hope that he'll bat
430
00:30:03,860 --> 00:30:05,280
here in this first inning as the
431
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,620
Cubs try to get on the board
432
00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:08,120
and still shooting for their
433
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,660
seventy sixth win of the year.
434
00:30:11,060 --> 00:30:12,620
Glitcho glances over at third
435
00:30:12,620 --> 00:30:13,860
steps back the right hander
436
00:30:13,860 --> 00:30:15,860
winds three to pitch swung on
437
00:30:15,860 --> 00:30:16,860
and it pulls the ground ball to
438
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:18,300
the third baseman Stan Pappy
439
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:20,160
throws the president of the dirt
440
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,660
gets away from him the Cubs take
441
00:30:21,660 --> 00:30:24,940
the lead and Morales will wind
442
00:30:24,940 --> 00:30:26,000
up at second base.
443
00:30:28,380 --> 00:30:30,140
Well that be a run batted in an
444
00:30:30,140 --> 00:30:32,280
error against Tony Perez or
445
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,180
against Stan Pappy on a throw
446
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:36,680
by the third baseman.
447
00:30:38,620 --> 00:30:39,680
I have a little help though.
448
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,320
What about it.
449
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,680
We'll take it.
450
00:30:44,820 --> 00:30:45,860
It's all we can get.
451
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,560
Well they got their hundred
452
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,860
and nineteenth double play of
453
00:30:54,860 --> 00:30:55,540
the year in this inning.
454
00:30:55,540 --> 00:30:56,960
That is the much hundred and
455
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,000
seventeenth error.
456
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:02,200
Pappy when he was at Denver this
457
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,800
year playing under Jim Marshall
458
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,580
and they won their championship
459
00:31:05,580 --> 00:31:06,580
with a shortstop.
460
00:31:10,780 --> 00:31:12,420
Man pretty upset with himself
461
00:31:12,420 --> 00:31:14,120
after that bad throw that went
462
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,480
into the dirt and Perez trying
463
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,480
to back end it couldn't handle
464
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,860
it Mercer steps in and he takes
465
00:31:17,860 --> 00:31:19,220
switch his first pitch low and
466
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:22,860
inside ball one like Morales
467
00:31:22,860 --> 00:31:24,500
Mercer has been in a slump in so
468
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:26,000
far as driving in runs and do
469
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,460
not credit Morales with a run
470
00:31:27,460 --> 00:31:28,260
batted it on that one.
471
00:31:29,860 --> 00:31:31,460
Bobby last night one for four
472
00:31:31,460 --> 00:31:32,800
hitting two six hundred and
473
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,200
four hitting two sixty eight
474
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:35,780
tender.
475
00:31:36,140 --> 00:31:37,780
I told up in a swing he can't do
476
00:31:37,780 --> 00:31:38,880
it ball one strike one.
477
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:40,500
The pitch was down low and in on
478
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:40,680
him.
479
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,040
Morales last got an RBI on
480
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,120
August the 26th.
481
00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:47,740
Mercer's last one came on
482
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:48,820
August the 22nd.
483
00:31:54,020 --> 00:31:55,620
Ramos in scoring position as a
484
00:31:55,620 --> 00:31:56,860
result of the air and the Cubs
485
00:31:56,860 --> 00:31:58,000
leading one to nothing with two
486
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,400
off which was one one pitch a
487
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,520
slow curve into the dirt.
488
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,020
Morales.
489
00:32:03,460 --> 00:32:05,220
All to strike one and he said
490
00:32:05,220 --> 00:32:06,220
don't control the batman
491
00:32:06,220 --> 00:32:06,660
whatsoever.
492
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,640
Steve on a various in the on deck
493
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,900
circle the outfield around to
494
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:18,340
the right and deep for Mercer
495
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,640
the look at second that
496
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:20,940
Morales here's twitches pitch
497
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,280
takes the fastball inside above
498
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,940
the knees ball three strike one
499
00:32:26,180 --> 00:32:27,720
perspire the shortstop playing
500
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,420
to pull up the middle and he is
501
00:32:29,420 --> 00:32:30,680
going to get a little bit of a
502
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:31,420
little bit of a
503
00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:32,420
little bit of a
504
00:32:32,420 --> 00:32:33,860
toe just on that white strap of
505
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:35,420
a designate for the outfield
506
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,360
grass would start.
507
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,900

the Cubs leading the ballgame
594
00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:13,400

00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:55,660
rookies Dan Pappy was guilty of
614
00:35:55,660 --> 00:35:57,560
that struggling air and would
615
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,740
have retired the Cubs in the
616
00:35:58,740 --> 00:36:01,300

Why is that right foot deep in
697
00:39:28,420 --> 00:39:29,720
the batter's box almost in the
698
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:30,320
corner of it.
699
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,120
That post dance it's working the
700
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,820
fingers on that bat bottoms every
701
00:39:34,820 --> 00:39:37,360
time takes it inside ball one
702
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:37,920
strike one.
703
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:41,600
You've got to be pretty thrilled
704
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,860
loading it with the anticipation
705
00:39:43,860 --> 00:39:45,860
of achieving that mark and RBI
706
00:39:46,540 --> 00:39:48,200
90 for 11 straight year.
707
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,240
He is and he's mighty proud of
708
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:51,900
that twelve hundred RBI record
709
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:57,540
also that either bottom of made
710
00:39:57,540 --> 00:39:58,740
a throw to first base to keep
711
00:39:58,740 --> 00:40:01,980
Pappy close one out one one did
712
00:40:01,980 --> 00:40:04,880
every takes it low ball to
713
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:05,480
strike one.
714
00:40:06,380 --> 00:40:08,120
Now the Spamans I and do up next
715
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,520
tying run over a third
716
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,120
represented by veteran Davey
717
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:11,560
Cash.
718
00:40:13,060 --> 00:40:14,220
The kids could use a double
719
00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:17,660
player to say the least rookie
720
00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:18,960
Mike Gordon doing the catching
721
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,200
sets up bottom pitch for his
722
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,300
takes in at the strike letter
723
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:24,140
high away from him.
724
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:29,480
All to strike to get a few cup
725
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:30,940
fans reading here tonight
726
00:40:31,140 --> 00:40:33,920
putting the Matthews family
727
00:40:34,380 --> 00:40:39,980
Bill and Gerta Matthews bottom
728
00:40:39,980 --> 00:40:42,680
to pitch rest takes the fastball
729
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,160
into tight ball three strike to
730
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,460
well he's done an outstanding
731
00:40:48,460 --> 00:40:51,100
job both in driving and runs and
732
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:52,360
with his batting average of two
733
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,900
ninety five he is one father
734
00:40:54,900 --> 00:40:57,240
that is prone to strike out a
735
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:57,540
lot.
736
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,180
Let's see a bottom can dispose
737
00:40:59,180 --> 00:41:00,440
of him here with one out runners
738
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,140
at first and third three to
739
00:41:02,140 --> 00:41:02,640
delivery.
740
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:03,480
Let it go.
741
00:41:03,580 --> 00:41:05,540
Swing and a miss Gordon throw
742
00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:07,240
bounces gets away from three of
743
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:08,180
those to center field.
744
00:41:09,780 --> 00:41:11,380
Happy gets up and goes to third
745
00:41:11,380 --> 00:41:12,820
and Davey Cash drops up the
746
00:41:12,820 --> 00:41:14,820
line with the tying one of the
747
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:24,100
ballgame we were hopefully
748
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:26,600
anticipating he struck out and
749
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:27,800
happy going on the pitch.
750
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:29,800
Good have been nailed.
751
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,640
Gordon felt short of the mark
752
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,000
bounce pass real into center
753
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:35,440
field.
754
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,120
They're on that throw of course
755
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,120
and here's that a fine playing
756
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,500
and hitting a hard shot that
757
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:48,100
skips off of Steve Monteveras
758
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:49,860
and then bounces over into the
759
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:51,060
box seat and that's going to be
760
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:52,360
a ground rule double and let's
761
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,540
see if Monteveras is going to be
762
00:41:53,540 --> 00:41:55,840
all right as Montreal has taken
763
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:56,140
the lead.
764
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,340
Valentine getting a very hard
765
00:41:59,340 --> 00:42:01,540
shot came off of that wet carpet
766
00:42:03,540 --> 00:42:05,220
he's already had one in the eye
767
00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:06,440
this year and I hope he didn't
768
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,140
get another one there.
769
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,120
Oh that one just glanced off of
770
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,080
the bill of the cap.
771
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,480
Number 72 and runs by the game
772
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,000
for the year.
773
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,240
For Ellis Valentine with a
774
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:16,640
double on the first pitch drone
775
00:42:17,740 --> 00:42:19,380
and the Expos have a two to one
776
00:42:19,380 --> 00:42:20,820
lead in the bottom of inning
777
00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:21,280
number one.
778
00:42:27,820 --> 00:42:29,360
Valentine decides that he can do
779
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,420
without the batting element.
780
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,000
Gary Carter to be the hitter and
781
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000
let's pause a moment for
782
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,160
station identification.
783
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,560
This is the W.G.N. Chicago Cubs
784
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,140
baseball network and this is W.G.
785
00:42:42,140 --> 00:42:43,800
and Radio Chicago at one minute
786
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:44,500
past seven.
787
00:42:49,020 --> 00:42:51,120
Two singles and a double and
788
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,320
each team has been guilty of an
789
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,520
error and we're in the first
790
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:53,780
inning.
791
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,720
There's a swing and a high fly
792
00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:56,980
ball around us on the run so
793
00:42:56,980 --> 00:42:58,720
Bobby Mercer and it's much to
794
00:42:58,720 --> 00:42:58,980
his hair.
795
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,120
How's it end to retire the side.
796
00:43:02,820 --> 00:43:04,400
But two runs and two runs.
797
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,760
And the bases brought two runs
798
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,600
on three hits one cover one man
799
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,300
left in the bases and at the end
800
00:43:12,300 --> 00:43:13,500
the one mockery all leads the
801
00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:14,340
Cubs 2 to 1.
802
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,740
Think you could eat 40 bananas
803
00:43:18,740 --> 00:43:19,740
in 39 minutes.
804
00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:21,240
Anthony Pig did it.
805
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:25,520
He set that record in 1967 says
806
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,820
so right here in the Guinness
807
00:43:26,820 --> 00:43:27,980
Book of World Records.
808
00:43:28,380 --> 00:43:30,460
How could anyone eat so much so
809
00:43:30,460 --> 00:43:30,880
fast.
810
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,220
This is Mike Pyle saying we'll
811
00:43:33,220 --> 00:43:34,600
find the answer to that.
812
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,860
But there are some records that
813
00:43:35,860 --> 00:43:37,120
are easily explained.
814
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:39,060
For instance the current record
815
00:43:39,060 --> 00:43:40,660
for selling new Oldsmobile.
816
00:43:41,060 --> 00:43:42,660
It's held by while olds and
817
00:43:42,660 --> 00:43:44,800
Libertyville while sells more
818
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,500
new Oldsmobile than any other
819
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:47,540
dealer in the world.
820
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:48,300
Why.
821
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:50,740
Why do people come from Chicago
822
00:43:50,740 --> 00:43:52,380
from all over the state even
823
00:43:52,380 --> 00:43:53,740
from neighboring states to buy
824
00:43:53,740 --> 00:43:55,540
their new Oldsmobile from while
825
00:43:56,020 --> 00:43:57,220
you won't find the answer in the
826
00:43:57,220 --> 00:43:59,020
record book but you will find it
827
00:43:59,020 --> 00:44:00,820
in Libertyville Illinois home
828
00:44:00,820 --> 00:44:02,680
of the world's largest Oldsmobile
829
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,260
dealer while old plan to drive
830
00:44:05,260 --> 00:44:06,060
out real soon.
831
00:44:06,420 --> 00:44:07,560
You'll probably get out to
832
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:08,960
Libertyville faster than it
833
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:09,260
takes.
834
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,800
Anthony Figg eat 40 bananas while
835
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,740
those selling out all or eighty
836
00:44:14,740 --> 00:44:16,500
eight to ninety eight at never
837
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:18,900
before and never again low prices.
838
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,880
The amount of errors is going to
839
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,340
be leading off the Cubs here
840
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:26,580
against Wayne Pichel.
841
00:44:27,140 --> 00:44:28,740
He's heading to ninety five with
842
00:44:28,740 --> 00:44:29,980
0 for 6 last night.
843
00:44:30,180 --> 00:44:32,380
We dropped a few points before
844
00:44:32,380 --> 00:44:33,820
the Yankees hit any trail than
845
00:44:33,820 --> 00:44:34,580
the rookie catcher.
846
00:44:36,220 --> 00:44:37,460
Boston is New York tonight.
847
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,320
Louis Tion going for the Red Sox
848
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:40,820
who dropped the first two games
849
00:44:40,820 --> 00:44:42,060
of that big series against the
850
00:44:42,060 --> 00:44:45,800
Yankees Mike Torres 16 and 12
851
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,700
for the year going for the
852
00:44:46,700 --> 00:44:47,000
Yanks.
853
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,860
Baltimore at Toronto Grimsley
854
00:44:51,660 --> 00:44:53,300
against Plancy for the Blue Jays
855
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:55,400
and there's no score at Toronto
856
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,080
bottom of inning number two and
857
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,540
Oakland has taken a four to
858
00:45:00,540 --> 00:45:03,940
five lead at Kansas City at the
859
00:45:03,940 --> 00:45:05,240
end of two innings of play in
860
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:06,920
their first game by the blue for
861
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,180
the A's six is 15th one of the
862
00:45:09,180 --> 00:45:10,380
year tonight against Andy
863
00:45:10,380 --> 00:45:12,460
Hassler who's nine and five and
864
00:45:12,460 --> 00:45:14,360
has to yielded two runs in each
865
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,260
of the first two innings.
866
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:17,720
Kansas City in danger of having
867
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:19,960
that long winning streak of 14
868
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,500
in a row snap and that first
869
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:23,560
game of the twine I double
870
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,040
header at Kansas City tonight by
871
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,400
the Oakland A's Baltimore by the
872
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,000
way is shooting for its eighth
873
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:30,500
place tonight.
874
00:45:30,540 --> 00:45:31,880
They've moved into second place
875
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:33,540
last night as the Yankees
876
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:35,480
particularly Reggie Jackson
877
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,020
disposed of Boston once more
878
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,180
Baltimore now two and a half out
879
00:45:39,180 --> 00:45:40,820
of the Red Sox three and a half
880
00:45:41,820 --> 00:45:43,520
there's a swing at a deep drive
881
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:44,620
in the left center field little
882
00:45:44,620 --> 00:45:46,620
Warren Cromarty races out reaches
883
00:45:46,620 --> 00:45:49,160
up all that in one end and out
884
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:50,900
of errors is out on a long line
885
00:45:50,900 --> 00:45:52,620
drive to the left fielder to
886
00:45:52,620 --> 00:45:54,560
open up the second inning Manny
887
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:55,500
Creel stepping in.
888
00:45:56,060 --> 00:45:57,840
He was 0 for 5 last night.
889
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:58,540
He's got a good pace.
890
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,680
Seven homers for the year 56 runs
891
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:03,080
batted in.
892
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,580
You know pitchers aren't the only
893
00:46:08,580 --> 00:46:09,680
ones that need a good change of
894
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:09,980
pace.
895
00:46:11,060 --> 00:46:12,420
Everyone ought to follow the
896
00:46:12,420 --> 00:46:13,860
routine just a little bit and you
897
00:46:13,860 --> 00:46:15,420
can do that yourself by spending
898
00:46:15,420 --> 00:46:17,500
a fun field day out of friendly
899
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:18,660
Wrigley Field and then there aren't
900
00:46:18,660 --> 00:46:20,260
very many of them left for this
901
00:46:20,260 --> 00:46:20,800
season either.
902
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:23,460
First pitch trio is going to take
903
00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:24,600
all the way and it's a strike at
904
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:24,940
the knees.
905
00:46:25,900 --> 00:46:27,040
The Cubs will be entertaining the
906
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,500
Pittsburgh Pirates and the
907
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:29,540
apparent Eastern Division
908
00:46:29,540 --> 00:46:32,080
champion Philadelphia Phillies on
909
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,440
the next home stand that starts
910
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,240
one week from tomorrow against
911
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:35,740
Pittsburgh.
912
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:38,680
That's for again the Phillies
913
00:46:39,380 --> 00:46:41,320
they'll do teams will be there to
914
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,980
extend the club home stand through
915
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,480
the 28th of September.
916
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:46,060
But you'll reach his back
917
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,820
delivers a slow curve and trio
918
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:52,400
looks at it for strike to only
919
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,960
six games left in the home
920
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:54,460
schedule.
921
00:46:54,460 --> 00:46:55,660
Nothing into the count.
922
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,500
Now he swings and fouls that one
923
00:46:58,500 --> 00:46:59,540
off the middle Gary Carter.
924
00:47:01,300 --> 00:47:03,040
Still own two in the Cubs second
925
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,080
baseman Phillies got a run in the
926
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:05,980
bottom of the first inning
927
00:47:05,980 --> 00:47:09,880
against the Mets tonight on
928
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,380
behalf of the left hander Randy
929
00:47:11,380 --> 00:47:11,620
Lurch.
930
00:47:12,420 --> 00:47:13,880
Great Swan going for the Mets
931
00:47:14,380 --> 00:47:15,860
who are now batting in the top of
932
00:47:15,860 --> 00:47:17,020
the second inning and trailing
933
00:47:17,020 --> 00:47:19,020
one to nothing at Philadelphia.
934
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,800
Oh to delivery fastball swung on
935
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,400
fouls it back up another one.
936
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,960
Fouls it back up under the back
937
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,260
stop this afternoon as we
938
00:47:27,260 --> 00:47:28,660
mentioned earlier Houston knocked
939
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:30,640
off San Francisco six to three
940
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:32,840
fence getting the victory over
941
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,880
Ed Hallecky and the Houston
942
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,340
Astros very hopeful winding up
943
00:47:37,340 --> 00:47:38,880
in second place in that Western
944
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,880
division picked up a half game
945
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,320
with that one.
946
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:43,980
There's a curve ball and he takes
947
00:47:43,980 --> 00:47:46,480
it outside one and two pick up a
948
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,180
half game against the Cincinnati
949
00:47:48,180 --> 00:47:48,680
Reds.
950
00:47:49,180 --> 00:47:50,320
There are three games behind him
951
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:51,460
pending the outcome of the
952
00:47:51,460 --> 00:47:54,420
Cincinnati game tonight at Los
953
00:47:54,420 --> 00:47:56,960
Angeles one out and a one to
954
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,400
delivery takes the fastball high
955
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:05,540
ball to strike to what you'll
956
00:48:07,900 --> 00:48:09,500
an awful lot of basketball when
957
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:11,500
he was in school out of Oregon
958
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:13,780
and occasionally still
959
00:48:13,940 --> 00:48:15,280
officiates that game in the off
960
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,980
season to to delivery swung out
961
00:48:17,980 --> 00:48:19,080
a fastball off the end of the
962
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,620
back those fouls into the seats
963
00:48:20,620 --> 00:48:21,580
of the first base side.
964
00:48:23,180 --> 00:48:25,120
The Cubs were gifted with a run
965
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,920
in the first inning started out
966
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,420
promisingly with a walk and a
967
00:48:28,420 --> 00:48:30,520
single and Buckner grounded
968
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:31,700
into a double play ball.
969
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,260
Morales had a grounder to the
970
00:48:33,260 --> 00:48:35,500
third baseman whose throw was
971
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:37,800
errant and permitted the Haysers
972
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,260
to score and Morales to reach
973
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:39,640
second.
974
00:48:40,140 --> 00:48:41,060
Then the inning ended with
975
00:48:41,060 --> 00:48:42,460
Mercer tapping out weekly the
976
00:48:42,460 --> 00:48:42,800
pitcher.
977
00:48:43,140 --> 00:48:44,200
Here's a swing and three a
978
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,280
pulitzer ground ball back
979
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,940
headed by Spire long throw.
980
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:48,780
He is safe at first base.
981
00:48:48,780 --> 00:48:50,840
Spire having to make that peg
982
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,780
from beyond that stripe on the
983
00:48:52,780 --> 00:48:54,420
that would designate the outfield
984
00:48:54,420 --> 00:48:56,820
grass and Creos on with an
985
00:48:56,820 --> 00:48:58,380
infield single with one out in
986
00:48:58,380 --> 00:48:58,960
the second inning.
987
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,120
Hit number two for the Cubs
988
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,300
brings up the rookie catcher
989
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:06,100
Mike Gordon at St. Louis the
990
00:49:06,100 --> 00:49:07,500
Cardinals batting in the bottom
991
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:08,460
of the sixth inning of their
992
00:49:08,460 --> 00:49:09,940
first game against the Pittsburgh
993
00:49:09,940 --> 00:49:11,660
Pirates and the Pirates are
994
00:49:11,660 --> 00:49:13,300
holding a one to nothing lead
995
00:49:14,340 --> 00:49:16,340
and Tony Garofalo the cup
996
00:49:16,340 --> 00:49:18,900
trainer has to come out now to
997
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:20,500
attend a Manny Trejo looks like
998
00:49:20,500 --> 00:49:21,740
he might have hurt an ankle
999
00:49:22,340 --> 00:49:23,040
running that one out.
1000
00:49:23,780 --> 00:49:25,440
Well this is two for two two
1001
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:26,880
innings and Tony's out twice.
1002
00:49:27,180 --> 00:49:29,480
Yeah he must have set an all
1003
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:30,480
time record this year.
1004
00:49:32,180 --> 00:49:33,460
But the new facilities that
1005
00:49:33,460 --> 00:49:35,360
they have here and the Cubs were
1006
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,660
here in the first two trips they
1007
00:49:36,660 --> 00:49:38,560
were using temporary quarters
1008
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:39,360
to say the least.
1009
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:41,900
But now the visiting clubhouse
1010
00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:43,460
has been pretty much finished
1011
00:49:43,460 --> 00:49:46,460
off and that he almost has enough
1012
00:49:46,460 --> 00:49:47,840
room in there by God for all of
1013
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:48,740
the fellows that need to be
1014
00:49:48,740 --> 00:49:52,700
treated looks like Creos going
1015
00:49:52,700 --> 00:49:56,240
to decide he'll stick it out
1016
00:50:01,380 --> 00:50:03,720
one away and Mike Gordon the
1017
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:06,180
rookie catcher made a throw
1018
00:50:06,180 --> 00:50:09,260
bouncing into second base left
1019
00:50:09,260 --> 00:50:12,020
handed hitter who was hit last
1020
00:50:12,020 --> 00:50:14,260
night and three at bat and then
1021
00:50:14,260 --> 00:50:15,560
earlier in the air was all for
1022
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,700
four with the Cubs so he is
1023
00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:17,960
looking for his first major
1024
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,400
league hit a strong left hander
1025
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,440
comes from the state of Maine
1026
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,640
just 24 years of age and only
1027
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,340
celebrated that 24th birthday
1028
00:50:26,340 --> 00:50:27,400
just a few days ago.
1029
00:50:29,580 --> 00:50:30,640
Trail with a pretty good lead
1030
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:31,940
at first base against Wichita
1031
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:34,940
fires and misses low and inside
1032
00:50:34,940 --> 00:50:37,980
ball one center fielder and a
1033
00:50:37,980 --> 00:50:39,680
Dawson shallowed up considerably
1034
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,780
for Gordon who did not have a
1035
00:50:41,780 --> 00:50:44,520
good hitting year with the Cubs
1036
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:45,620
farm club at Wichita.
1037
00:50:46,420 --> 00:50:48,520
Here's a pitch swung on out of
1038
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,600
the middle Carter and the count
1039
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,000
goes to ball one strike one.
1040
00:50:53,860 --> 00:50:54,760
Well the Mets tied up the
1041
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,040
Phillies with a run in the top
1042
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:56,900
of the second inning at
1043
00:50:56,900 --> 00:50:57,500
Philadelphia.
1044
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,500
Now the Phillies at bat in the
1045
00:51:00,500 --> 00:51:01,580
bottom of inning number two and
1046
00:51:01,580 --> 00:51:02,200
it's one to one.
1047
00:51:03,740 --> 00:51:05,180
John Candelaria going for the
1048
00:51:05,180 --> 00:51:06,480
Pirates tonight at St. Louis in
1049
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:07,620

Rasmussen one one pitch swung on
1051
00:51:09,820 --> 00:51:11,420
a bouncing ball to Davey Cash
1052
00:51:11,420 --> 00:51:13,420
gets it close to second and no
1053
00:51:13,420 --> 00:51:14,980
chance for a relay to first base
1054
00:51:16,180 --> 00:51:18,920
Davey having come over near or
1055
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,960
over towards first base and in
1056
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,060
before he could pick up that
1057
00:51:22,060 --> 00:51:23,600
ground ball off the bat a trail
1058
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,140
who's forced at second Gordon
1059
00:51:27,140 --> 00:51:29,260
reaches and Bill Bonham stepping
1060
00:51:29,260 --> 00:51:32,940
in shown that he swings the back
1061
00:51:32,940 --> 00:51:34,000
pretty good this year he's
1062
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,580
hitting two forty one with 14
1063
00:51:37,580 --> 00:51:39,140

1064
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,520
the score with the Cubs fighting
1065
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:43,780
here in the top of inning number
1066
00:51:43,780 --> 00:51:47,180
two Montreal two and the Cubs
1067
00:51:47,180 --> 00:51:51,960
won bottom bending low from the
1068
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:52,360
waist.
1069
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,160
Pitchell's first pitch to him a
1070
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,400
swing and a miss the fastball
1071
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:02,300
by in the roster book that the
1072
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:03,300

1091

for postage and handling.
1092
00:52:46,180 --> 00:52:47,080
We're also available at the
1093
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,380
ballpark when we'll be there a
1094
00:52:48,380 --> 00:52:50,120
week from the mile one two pitch

curve into the dirt gets away
1096
00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:53,620
but Gordon is not going to try
1097
00:52:53,620 --> 00:52:57,900
to advance and Carter hustling
1098
00:52:57,900 --> 00:52:59,460
after that ball finally retrieved
1099
00:52:59,460 --> 00:53:00,760
it about 30 feet over in the
1100
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:07,900
first base side so the count
1101
00:53:07,900 --> 00:53:09,900
goes to two and two on bottom
1102
00:53:09,900 --> 00:53:11,100
with the runner at first base
1103
00:53:13,340 --> 00:53:14,880
Montreal with a two to one lead
1104
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,420
the Expos have beaten the Cubs
1105
00:53:17,420 --> 00:53:19,180
six times in the last eight
1106
00:53:19,180 --> 00:53:20,720
meetings between these two teams
1107
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:24,860
they lead here two to one here's
1108
00:53:24,860 --> 00:53:26,360
the pitch bottom swing to the
1109
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:27,720
bouncing ball past the pitcher
1110
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:29,420
but Spire has it steps in the
1111
00:53:29,420 --> 00:53:31,020
bag at second Gordon is forced
1112
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:32,560
and the Cubs in the second
1113
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,460
inning have no runs one hit one
1114
00:53:36,460 --> 00:53:38,540
man left and at the end of one
1115
00:53:38,540 --> 00:53:39,740
and a half innings to play in
1116
00:53:39,740 --> 00:53:40,860
the final meeting between the
1117
00:53:40,860 --> 00:53:42,840
two teams exposed with a two to
1118
00:53:42,840 --> 00:54:03,760
one lead
1119
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,840
Just turn to the Tribune.
1120
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,840
Turn to the Tribune.
1121
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,840

1124
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,840
Kick off. Another reason the Chicago Tribune ranks in first place.
1125
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,840
When you want the whole field covered, turn to the Tribune.
1126
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,840
Turn to the Tribune.
1127
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,840
Warren Cromarty left-handed hitting outfielder.
1128
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:03,840
With an eight game hitting streak, he'll be leading off bottom third of the batting order to face Bill Bonham.
1129
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:08,840
Cromarty was one for three last night, and he's hitting 281 for the year.
1130
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,840
With five homers and 48 runs about it in.
1131
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:20,840
While the Cubs have been in a tailspin, that's just prior to the All-Star break,
1132
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:27,840
the Montly All-Ball Club now since the 1st of July has won game over the 500 mark.
1133
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:35,840
The Cubs hopeful of finishing out the rest of this 1977 season on the upfeed.
1134
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:42,840
They need a victory here and a few of them in New York and the Philadelphia,
1135
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:49,840
and then they'll be concluding the season with competition against the Pills and the Pirates.
1136
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:54,840
Still locked at 75 wins for the year.
1137
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,840
Little Warren Cromarty stepping in and Bonham's first pitch.
1138
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,840
Swung out, a hard ground ball.
1139
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,840
Kelleher at second base goes to his right, picks it up and throws to first.
1140
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:14,840
So McKelleher has replaced Matty Treo, who got that infield single that came up limping, then stayed in the ball game.
1141
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:20,840
And Kelleher was taken off the disabled list just recently, making his first appearance in the field.
1142
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,840
He has come in a couple of times as a pinch runner.
1143
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:30,840
Remember he took a bad hopper that came up and broke the thumb on his hand.
1144
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:38,840
That day they had brooded an error against him and then later that night they changed it to a single.
1145
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:46,840
Little Mick back in the lineup at second base here in the second inning and he's just come up with a nice play to retire Cromarty.
1146
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:51,840
Now Chris Spire, the shortstop stepping in, drove in a run last night with a sacrifice fly.
1147
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,840
And the right-hander takes the first pitch of strike.
1148
00:56:54,840 --> 00:57:00,840
He is not hitting well this year, batting average for Spire, the former giant of just 2.32.
1149
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:06,840
Five homers, swings, fouls, a pass ball. A lot of play to the right side.
1150
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,840
The RBI that he got last night was only his 31st of the season.
1151
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:17,840
That includes his work with the Giants before he came over here for Tim Foley.
1152
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:24,840
Bottom's next pitch is a pass ball too high. Ball one, strike two.
1153
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:33,840
Kansas City Royals with that sweep last night have taken a nine game lead over the Chicago White Sox.
1154
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:39,840
One-two delivery. Curve ball low and outside. Ball two, strike two.
1155
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,840
Cincinnati still hanging tough. Came up with a victory last night over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
1156
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,840
But time is sure running out on the Reds.
1157
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,840
Two-two pitch. Looks at a strike.
1158
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:58,840
Took a long off with that one and Chris Spire just watched it float by a letter high for bottom's second strike out of the night.
1159
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:06,840
And that will bring up the pitcher, Wayne Quitchell.
1160
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:13,840
Next Monday night, which is to be an off night for the Cubs between New York and Philadelphia,
1161
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:18,840
going to be the big benefit dinner club.
1162
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:24,840
Or benefit dinner of the variety club I should say. It's the Evanston Country Club.
1163
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,840
Pass ball to Quitchell and he takes it inside at the letters.
1164
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,840
Well, they'll have a golf outing during the day. That one's completely sold out.
1165
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,840
To understand that there's still some tickets available for the dinner.
1166
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,840
Here's the swing and Quitchell pulls the ground ball out of errors to his left.
1167
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,840
He's got it. Straightens up and pegs and Quitchell kind of loping down the line.
1168
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:47,840
The shot down to retire the side in order.
1169
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:56,840
If you'd like to try to go to that dinner on Monday, phone Les Lear in Chicago at 828-1190.
1170
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:00,840
And here at Montreal's Olympic Stadium at the end of two innings of play,
1171
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,840
the X-Bowls lead the Chicago Cubs 2-1.
1172
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,840
The Amateur Athletic Union and the World Taekwondo Federation
1173
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,840
brings the Taekwondo Karate World Championships to Chicago's amphitheater
1174
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:17,840
for three action-packed days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 15th, 16th and 17th.
1175
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:22,840
More than 500 national champions from 50 nations will compete for this world title.
1176
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:27,840
The Taekwondo Karate World Championships will be on 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
1177
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,840
and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. each day.
1178
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,840
One ticket is good all day.
1179
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,840
Tickets available through all Ticketron outlets or amphitheater box office.
1180
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,840
Call 878-7711.
1181
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:50,840
No time to wait, no time to doubt.
1182
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,840
They're giving real deals on the four-wheel drive scout.
1183
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,840
It's your international scout dealer. That's the place to go.
1184
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,840
He's wheeling and trading and the prices are low.
1185
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,840
So get there and test drive a scout today.
1186
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:08,840
You can't beat his deal in the whole USA.
1187
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:14,840
International, the wheeling-est four-wheel dealer in town.
1188
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,840
Vince White and Louis Boudreaux here with you at Olympic Stadium in Montreal
1189
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,840
in a much better turnout than they had last night,
1190
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,840
a crowd last night of just over 5,200, the smallest in the year here.
1191
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:33,840
But they have grown well at this new edifice, over 1,300,000.
1192
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,840
And this ball club, Louis, certainly is on the rise, isn't it?
1193
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:42,840
Yes, it is. They don't need too much to help this ball club become a contender,
1194
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:48,840
which means that the Eastern Division will be quite an improved division in the near future.
1195
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:55,840
The Yankees get, or Mets get straightened away, and this ball club, and of course our ball club,
1196
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,840
will challenge Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis,
1197
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,840
certainly is on the upgrade with the young ball club they have.
1198
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:08,840
Here's DeJesus leading off the third inning, walked in the first inning.
1199
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,840
Touchdown on the mound, the Cubs have one run, two hits.
1200
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:16,840
Exposed, two runs on three hits.
1201
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,840
Both ball clubs have committed one air.
1202
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:28,840
Fake bunt on the first pitch, but the ball is called a strike by Playdumpire Andy Olson.
1203
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:34,840
DeJesus will be followed by Bittner and then Buckner.
1204
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:42,840
Strike one pitch on the way, curveball outside, just missing it, it's one and one.
1205
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:49,840
Exposed will break their all-time attendance mark this year.
1206
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:54,840
One-on-one pitch by the big right-hander popped up behind the plate.
1207
01:01:54,840 --> 01:02:01,840
Carter there has room, he has it.
1208
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:07,840
One out as DeJesus pops out to Carter, the catcher, in foul territory.
1209
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:16,840
Bittner lined a single into right field and looked as if the Cubs are going to take care of Twitchell very early.
1210
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:26,840
But with runners on first and second, Buckner hit into a double play.
1211
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:35,840
Now here's Larry Bittner, former expo, stepping in the batter's box.
1212
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:46,840
First pitch by the right-hander, fastball strike called, knee-high over the outside corner.
1213
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,840
Exposed play, Bittner straight away.
1214
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:54,840
One strike pitch, inside and low, and it's one and one.
1215
01:02:54,840 --> 01:03:06,840
Gary Carter doing the catching, Twitchell formerly with the Philadelphia Phillies on the mound.
1216
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:12,840
The right-hander into the lineup and the pitch, swing and a fly ball deep to center field over Dawson's head.
1217
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,840
He's going back, going back, leaps, it bounces against the wall.
1218
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,840
Bittner around second, he will go to third.
1219
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:30,840
Instead, he tags up as what a throw that Dawson threw from the warning track over 400 feet away from the plate.
1220
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:38,840
And one hop and a short hop all the way to probably a third to hold Bittner to a double.
1221
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:43,840
Bittner now getting closer to that 300 mark in average.
1222
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:53,840
He started this ballgame hitting 295, and he has two for two, and that was his 25th double of the season.
1223
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,840
He's on second base with a tying run for Buckner.
1224
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,840
That's the third hit off Twitchell.
1225
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,840
There's no doubt about that one. It was well tagged.
1226
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:13,840
Dawson, a very fine outfielder who can go back on a ball very well and with great speed, couldn't catch up to that one.
1227
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:21,840
Curved ball taken by Buckner inside, ball one.
1228
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:26,840
This guy really has some pains at the plate.
1229
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:35,840
He had a sore wrist, sore ankle, pulled a hamstring earlier during the year.
1230
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,840
He has a record for throwing bats at baseballs being pitched to him.
1231
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:47,840
There's a strike called, and it's one and one now to Buckner.
1232
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:54,840
Bittner at second base, one out, third inning.
1233
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,840
Buckner still has his sign from Carter.
1234
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,840
Checks Bittner at second, and here's the one ball, one strike pitch.
1235
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:08,840
Curved ball, a swing, and a foul ball into the dugout behind first base.
1236
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:16,840
Buckner really pulled that one.
1237
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:24,840
And now one ball, two strikes.
1238
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:30,840
This is where Buckner is at his best with two strikes out of him. He guards that plate.
1239
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,840
If he is pulled on the pitch, he normally will throw the bat at the ball, try to foul it.
1240
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:42,840
He swings and fouls that one in the same spot behind first base in the exposed dugout.
1241
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:47,840
So the count remains one and two.
1242
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:59,840
After the Jesus popped out, Bittner doubled over the center fielder's head and is on second base.
1243
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:04,840
Twitchell taking a little more time on this particular sign. Now he's ready.
1244
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:10,840
Here's the pitch to Buckner. Curved ball, another one hit into the dugout.
1245
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:23,840
Three successive foul balls hit into the exposed dugout.
1246
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:34,840
These are very long dugouts here at Olympic Stadium.
1247
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:39,840
Now the outfielders are pulling around a couple of steps.
1248
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,840
Twitchell is ready. He sets the kick and the pitch. Swing and a miss.
1249
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:52,840
He gets Buckner on a low-breaking curve ball for the first strike out of the ball game for Twitchell.
1250
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,840
So with two outs, it's going to be up to Jerry Morales.
1251
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:05,840
He was safe on the throwing here by the third baseman Pappy, which allowed the Jesus to score from third base with two outs in the first inning.
1252
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:10,840
Then Montreal came back to score two in the bottom of the first inning.
1253
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:15,840
It's now two to one exposed.
1254
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:23,840
First pitch to Morales. Curved ball, tapped foul, back to the screen.
1255
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:31,840
Strike one. Morales and Mercer have been stuck on the RBI column.
1256
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:41,840
Morales with 68 RBIs, Mercer with 82.
1257
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,840
Morales levels that bat over the plate as Twitchell gets his sign from Carter.
1258
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,840
Bittner extends his lead at second base.
1259
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,840
Here's the 0-1 pitch now by Twitchell.
1260
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,840
Sidearm pitch outside.
1261
01:07:54,840 --> 01:08:02,840
He really lowered the boom then as he dropped his arm around his knees and fired the ball outside.
1262
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,840
One and one to count.
1263
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:14,840
Carter going out to talk to his pitcher.
1264
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:22,840
One and one to count to Jerry.
1265
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,840
Twitchell shakes his head yes. He's a slow worker.
1266
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,840
The pitch out in the way. Overhand curveball for a strike call.
1267
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:38,840
Broke sharply over the outside corner. One ball, two strikes.
1268
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,840
Bittner extending his lead at second base. He's down the Astro curve.
1269
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:47,840
Expos aren't paying any attention to him. Twitchell's the only one that's really looking at him.
1270
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:52,840
Now the pitch. Fast ball low outside. Two and two to count.
1271
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:59,840
Seems as if the Expos are keeping the fast balls away from Morales and giving him a lot of breaking stuff.
1272
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,840
Sliders and curveball.
1273
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:10,840
They're counting out two and two.
1274
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:16,840
Here's the pitch. Swinging a foul ball down the right-tail line. It's out of play.
1275
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:26,840
Morales guarding that play.
1276
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:30,840
Two outs. Bittner on second.
1277
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:35,840
Bittner has two of the three hits off Twitchell so far tonight.
1278
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,840
Hit right here to pick up a run. Here's the pitch. Curveball.
1279
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:44,840
He swings and misses on a high curveball outside, striking out.
1280
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:49,840
Twitchell strikes out two in the third inning after the double by Bittner.
1281
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,840
No runs, one hit. One man left on base.
1282
01:09:53,840 --> 01:10:04,840
At the end of two and a half innings of play, Montreal 2 comes one.
1283
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:10,840
Water from God's country. Sparkling, pure spring water.
1284
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,840
Gottlieb Heilemann spent years looking for water like this.
1285
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:19,840
He found it in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1853.
1286
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:27,840
Heilemann still uses this water today to pure brew, double brew a great light beer called Old Style
1287
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,840
in a traditional old world way called Kroisening.
1288
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:36,840
Kroisening is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive.
1289
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:42,840
But at Old Style we don't aim to make the most beer, only the best.
1290
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:47,840
That's why we use Kroisening and sparkling, pure Wisconsin spring water.
1291
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:56,840
Taste the difference they make. Try Old Style. Pure brewed in God's country.
1292
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:03,840
G. Heilemann Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
1293
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,840
Both teams have batted around in two innings.
1294
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:12,840
So in the third it will be the leadoff hitter Cash, then Pappy and Dawson for Montreal.
1295
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,840
Let's pause five seconds for station identification.
1296
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,840
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.
1297
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:25,840
And this is WGN Radio Chicago at 729.
1298
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:32,840
Cash singled up the middle in the first inning as did the hitter next up, Pappy.
1299
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:37,840
Let's see how Bonham handles him at this particular time at the plate.
1300
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:42,840
Throws the curveball to open up and it's outside, ball one.
1301
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:47,840
Cash struck out three times yesterday and that is somewhat of a record.
1302
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,840
He does not strike out very often.
1303
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,840
Here's a swing and a line drive to right field.
1304
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:54,840
Mercer moving in and he drops the ball.
1305
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:59,840
The ball went into the light.
1306
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:01,840
They give him an air. That's a tough air.
1307
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:06,840
He came in, had the ball, then all of a sudden that ball was into the light.
1308
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,840
He reached up his glove and the ball dropped out of it.
1309
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:16,840
Mercer wasn't even watching the ball as he turned his head from it as it went into the light.
1310
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:20,840
But they give him an air.
1311
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,840
Second cup air of the evening.
1312
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:28,840
And here's the young third baseman, Pappy, at bat.
1313
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,840
Cash, a good base runner.
1314
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:33,840
The stretch by Bonham.
1315
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:34,840
Here's the pitch.
1316
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,840
Strike called over the inside corner.
1317
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:47,840
Cash has 20 stolen bases leading the Expos in that department.
1318
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,840
He gets on base quite a bit.
1319
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:56,840
Here's the pitch to Pappy, curveball he ducks away from and it's inside.
1320
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,840
One and one to count.
1321
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:09,840
Cash has 169 hits with 49 bases on balls.
1322
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:11,840
So you know he's on base quite a bit.
1323
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:17,840
So at a first he has to dive back and does so safely.
1324
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:22,840
One of the premier leadoff men in baseball, Dave Cash.
1325
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,840
The one and one pitch now by Bonham.
1326
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:26,840
Here he goes. Here's a swing and a miss.
1327
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,840
There's Gordon's throw low into the dirt.
1328
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:41,840
But the play is backed up beautifully by Kelleher as Gordon will have to raise his sights through two throws tonight have been into the dirt at second base.
1329
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,840
Cash is credited with a stolen base.
1330
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:55,840
Here's 21st and only a fine defensive play by Kelleher who went behind the play to back it up prevented Cash from advancing to third.
1331
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,840
So he's on second now with nobody out.
1332
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,840
The count of one ball two strikes on the hitter.
1333
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,840
Bonham sets. Here's the pitch.
1334
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:10,840
Fastball inside two and two to count.
1335
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:15,840
That stolen base breaks a career high for Cash.
1336
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:23,840
He's had 20 stolen bases equaling his career high in 74 when he was with the Phillies.
1337
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,840
The stretch the two and two pitch lead up.
1338
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,840
Swing and a fly ball to right field.
1339
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:30,840
Cash is tagging up.
1340
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,840
Morales is there. Gubs it.
1341
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:39,840
There goes Cash to third. Goes back to third as Morales' throw carries to Ontiveros.
1342
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:45,840
Cash changed his mind as Morales the outfitter played it well.
1343
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:51,840
Backed up and then moved in to gain momentum as he caught the ball.
1344
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:56,840
And he wheeled to third to hold Cash at second.
1345
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:04,840
Went out and here's Dawson at bat.
1346
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:14,840
Dawson popped out to Buckner and foul territory his first time at bat.
1347
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:26,840
Montreal leads two to one. We're in the third inning.
1348
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:34,840
Bonham looks in, gets a sign from the young catcher Mike Gordon, then checks Cash leading off second base.
1349
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,840
First pitch now to Dawson. Curved ball for a strike call.
1350
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:50,840
That one broke beautiful over the outside corner.
1351
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:57,840
The Cubs play Dawson straight away. It was his triple last night that broke up the ball game in the twelfth.
1352
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:03,840
Fast ball low, one and one to count.
1353
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:12,840
Montreal two runs, three hits. Cubs one run, three hits.
1354
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:20,840
Dawson a right-handed hitter, waits the pitch, swing and a miss on a let-up.
1355
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:29,840
One ball, two strikes.
1356
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:36,840
Perez in the on-deck circle.
1357
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:43,840
Cash now extends his lead at second base under the AstroTurf. The pitch on the way is a swing and a tap foul.
1358
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:48,840
Now to Ossie Virgil, third base coach.
1359
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:56,840
Tosses it into Olson and wants Olson to take a look at it and he throws it out.
1360
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:01,840
On the bars as deep at third as is DeJesus deep at shortstop position.
1361
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:12,840
And at the right side it's Keller who has replaced Trio who turned an ankle or hurt his leg running out his infield hit in the second inning.
1362
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:18,840
And Buckter is on the first. Here's the pitch by Bonham. Curved ball and he gets them.
1363
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:22,840
And what a curve ball that was. Bonham has a good curve ball tonight.
1364
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,840
That's three strikeouts for Bill.
1365
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:35,840
Now with two outs, here's Perez who struck out in the first inning.
1366
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:45,840
With Perez stepping in the batter's box, comes the outfielders back up a few steps. They play straight away.
1367
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:52,840
We're in the third inning with Montreal leading 2-1. Bonham into the stretch.
1368
01:17:52,840 --> 01:18:03,840
Now he kicks, here's the pitch outside, ball one to Tony Perez.
1369
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:11,840
Perez is very durable, guys. This is his 138th game.
1370
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:17,840
Here's a swing and a one hopper right to Buckner. He has it as it skidded off of that Astor turf.
1371
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,840
But Buckner made the play and then runs up and touches first base for the out.
1372
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:26,840
In the third inning, no runs, no hits, one air, one man left on base.
1373
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:32,840
And now at the end of three innings of play, it's Montreal 2-1.
1374
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:39,840
Fans, now you can get a good return on your investment when you invest in the Lufkin 25-foot tape measure with power return
1375
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:43,840
for just $6.75 from True Value hardware stores.
1376
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,840
Sub-tape measures make you force and fight the blade back into the case,
1377
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:53,840
but with the Lufkin tape measure with power return, that steel blade zips back in the case with the touch of a button.
1378
01:18:53,840 --> 01:19:01,840
And the Lufkin 25-foot tape measure from True Value hardware stores features a Mylar-protected 3 quarter inch wide steel blade.
1379
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:05,840
The toggle switch locks the blade for accurate no-slip measurements,
1380
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:10,840
and the lightweight rugged Cyclo-Lac chrome case will last for years and years.
1381
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:16,840
You'll get a good return on your investment. Invest in the Lufkin 25-foot tape measure with power return.
1382
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:22,840
It's just $6.75 at participating True Value hardware stores.
1383
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:28,840
True Value hardware is more than just a name.
1384
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:35,840
It's our way of doing business that means true value.
1385
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:45,840
In the fourth inning, Cubs will send Mercer, Andavarez, and Kelleher to the plate.
1386
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:53,840
Mercer shot an easy ground ball to Twitchell to close out the first inning.
1387
01:19:53,840 --> 01:20:02,840
Bobby is overdue. Ended this ball game, hitting 268.
1388
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:14,840
Wayne Pucho on the mound for the Expos. This is his 27th start. He's only completed one game.
1389
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:21,840
He's allowed 16 home runs to be hit off of this serving.
1390
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:27,840
He's a side armor. He's been coming up and over mostly to left-handed hitters tonight.
1391
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:36,840
Here's the first pitch now to Bobby Mercer. Overhand fastball for a strike called over the inside corner.
1392
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:40,840
Perez deep at first, Cash deep at second for Bobby.
1393
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:46,840
Valentine's over near this foul line. He's only about 25 feet off of the right field foul line.
1394
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:53,840
Swing and a pop foul. Back out of play.
1395
01:20:53,840 --> 01:21:02,840
Two strikes to Bobby Mercer. Andavarez waiting in the on-dack circle.
1396
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:09,840
Twitchell has his side. Now takes that long windup and here's the pitch.
1397
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:18,840
Curved ball, tap foul down past Harry Dunlop.
1398
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:28,840
Mercer's leading off the fourth inning. Cubs, after tonight, 17 games left.
1399
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:33,840
Six with the Pirates, three at home and three at Pittsburgh to close out the season.
1400
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:38,840
Six with Philadelphia and five with New York. Here's the pitch inside.
1401
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:44,840
Ball one, strike two. Five with New York coming up this weekend.
1402
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:51,840
And when the Cubs get back home, they play Pittsburgh three games, Philadelphia three games.
1403
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:57,840
One and two pitch. Curved ball, a swing, a line drive down the right field line, but it's coding foul.
1404
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:11,840
Into the exposed bullpen. So the count remains one and two.
1405
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:20,840
17 left. Boy oh boy. Then we'll be waiting for spring training again.
1406
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:24,840
The pitch popped up over the third baseman's head.
1407
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:29,840
Pappy backs up under it, calls forward in fair territory and grabs it.
1408
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,840
Mercer pops out to the third baseman.
1409
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:42,840
And out, Onoveras, who lined out to Cromartie.
1410
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:46,840
And Onoveras has been hitting the ball well on this road trip.
1411
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:54,840
Even though that batting average certainly hasn't gone up too fast.
1412
01:22:54,840 --> 01:23:02,840
He's hitting 295. Entering this ballgame.
1413
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:08,840
So Twitchell gets his sign from Carter and is all set. Nobody on base. One out.
1414
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:13,840
The pitch on the way. Curved ball, strike called.
1415
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:21,840
Twitchell keeping that ball in on Mercer and on Ontaveras here in the fourth inning.
1416
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:26,840
The pitch once again. Another curved ball. That one is inside.
1417
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:35,840
Ball one, strike one. Now the count with one out and nobody on base.
1418
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:40,840
Twitchell's ready. One and one pitch.
1419
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:47,840
High inside, ball two.
1420
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:54,840
Comes at 110 games in this series with Montreal.
1421
01:23:54,840 --> 01:24:00,840
He was beating Montreal early in the season.
1422
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:05,840
Two and one to count to Ontaveras and the two and one pitch on its way.
1423
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:14,840
High outside, ball three.
1424
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:22,840
Ball three, strike one. Twitchell has walked one man. That was the leadoff hitter in the ballgame to Jesus.
1425
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:26,840
There's ball four. That's his second walk of this ballgame.
1426
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:33,840
So Ontaveras walk. That brings up Kelleher his first time at the plate.
1427
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:41,840
Kelleher is batting 228. No home runs, eight RBI.
1428
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:51,840
He replaced the injured Treo. This is his first time at bat. He was talking about his thumb is still tender.
1429
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:58,840
He's going to have a little sponge wrapped around the bat that he uses.
1430
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:11,840
Here's a swing and a foul back under the screen. Strike one.
1431
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:17,840
Kelleher a good hit and run man as Perez is playing behind Ontaveras at first base.
1432
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:23,840
Exposed two, Cubs one. Here's the pitch curve ball low, one and one to count.
1433
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,840
All runs have been scored in the first inning.
1434
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,840
Cubs with the help of a throwing air by the third baseman scoring their one run.
1435
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:39,840
And the Expos came back to score two in the first inning.
1436
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:47,840
Kelleher takes a strike over the outside corner and it's one and two.
1437
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:55,840
Twitchell mixing them up. Curve ball sliders and that fastball.
1438
01:25:55,840 --> 01:26:01,840
Now Kelleher is ready. So is Twitchell. The pitch on its way.
1439
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:05,840
Swing and a line drive foul down the right field line.
1440
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,840
By a youngster. Made a nice catch.
1441
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,840
Get that hand from these folks.
1442
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,840
He was playing Kelleher perfect.
1443
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:23,840
Went right to him. One ball, two strikes to count.
1444
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,840
Kelleher swings and drives a base hit into left center.
1445
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,840
Comardi after it bounces past him going all the way to the wall.
1446
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,840
Ontaveras around third. He will score the tying run.
1447
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:36,840
There goes Kelleher for three. He had no relay.
1448
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:41,840
And Mickey Kelleher, a substitute coming into the lineup.
1449
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:43,840
Triples into left center.
1450
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:48,840
Driving in Ontaveras with a tying run.
1451
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:50,840
And that's the fourth hit off Twitchell.
1452
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:59,840
And for Kelleher that is only his second triple.
1453
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:04,840
So Mickey has driven in his ninth RBI of the season.
1454
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:10,840
And he represents the lead run at third base.
1455
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:14,840
Lowry over there asking for a little time. Asking if Kelleher to whistle.
1456
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:19,840
That's the first time he's been around those bases in a long while.
1457
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,840
He's on third now with a lead run.
1458
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,840
And here's young Mike Gordon at bat.
1459
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,840
And the Expo infieldy end.
1460
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:30,840
First pitch by Twitchell.
1461
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:32,840
Popped up foul territory.
1462
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:34,840
Near the Cubs dugout.
1463
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:41,840
But Pappy will not have room.
1464
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:49,840
Toronto has taken a 40-0 lead over Baltimore.
1465
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:57,840
Baltimore striving to stay ahead of Boston in second place to battle those Yanks.
1466
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:01,840
Baltimore trails New York by two and a half games.
1467
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:06,840
I think they have four or five games left with Boston.
1468
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,840
Here's the pitch to Gort. Popped foul out of play.
1469
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:12,840
Two strikes now on Mike.
1470
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:26,840
With a chance to put the Cubs out in front here with Kelleher on third and one out.
1471
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,840
Twitchell taking his stretch. He's not going into his windup.
1472
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,840
Here's the two-strike pitch now to Gort.
1473
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:38,840
Fast ball. He wasted it outside. It's one and two.
1474
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:46,840
Fourth inning. Two-to-two ball game.
1475
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,840
Twitchell looks in, gets a sign from Carter.
1476
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,840
Kelleher has a walking lead from third base.
1477
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:57,840
Here's the pitch. Curved ball tapped down to the third baseman. Kelleher's going to try to score.
1478
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:01,840
He scores as Pappy goes to first base.
1479
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:06,840
Running by Kelleher, as I mentioned, he had a walking lead off of third base.
1480
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:13,840
And as soon as that ball went to the turf, Kelleher came charging in to score without a play.
1481
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:17,840
And the infield was playing in.
1482
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:26,840
So Gordon gets his first RBI, and the Cubs now have taken the lead three-to-two.
1483
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:31,840
Two outs, and here's Bonham at bat.
1484
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:43,840
First pitch to Bill. Swing and a foul out of play.
1485
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:52,840
Bonham forced Gordon, who was on first, in the second inning at second base.
1486
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:59,840
The pitch. Outside and low. One and one to come.
1487
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:06,840
Boston leads the Yankees one-to-nothing at the end of two-and-a-half.
1488
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:12,840
Here's the pitch. Outside, ball two-strike one.
1489
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:20,840
They're in the ninth inning at St. Louis in the first game of their twilight night doubleheader, with Pittsburgh leading four-to-one.
1490
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:31,840
The next pitch is fouled to the screen, and now it's two-and-two on Bonham.
1491
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:36,840
Nobody on base comes and scores two runs here in the fourth inning to take the lead.
1492
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:40,840
Three-to-two.
1493
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:47,840
Two-and-two pitch. Fast ball for a strike called over the outside corner. Bonham is called out on strike.
1494
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:57,840
But not before the Cubs, with a walk and a triple. Score two runs, one hit. Nobody left on base.
1495
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:04,840
So with the Montreal Expos coming to bat in the fourth inning, Cubs three, Montreal two.
1496
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:09,840
Things can be beautiful and beautiful furniture is to be had, and you've got the money in the bank.
1497
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:15,840
But even if the furniture is there when the cash isn't, there's still an easy way to furnish your home or apartment.
1498
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:20,840
Just call friendly Bob Adams of General Finance Corporation at Andover 3202-0.

1503
01:31:55,840 --> 01:32:03,840
That's friendly Bob Adams of General Finance at Andover 3202-0. There are over 65 offices in the Chicagoland area.
1504
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:08,840
General Finance also has an office up in McHenry.
1505
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:37,840
Valentine will lead off, then Carter and then Comartie as Bonham down at the one-run lead. Valentine doubled in the first inning. It was in the first inning that Montreal scored their two runs and touched Bonham for all three hits.
1506
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:57,840
Valentine doubled down the third base line.
1507
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:08,840
Bonham is ready. Here's the windup and pitch. Strike call.
1508
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:15,840
There's a curveball for a strike call down and Bonham is getting a sign once again.
1509
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:23,840
The pitch on the way. Another curveball and a swing and a foul off of the glove of Gordon.
1510
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:32,840
Treo jammed his right ankle going the first base on that infield hit in the second inning and consequently he had to be taken out of the line-up.
1511
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:49,840
Keller came in and tripled, driving in a run and then scored the lead run. Here's a swing and a high pop-up in the short center field. Keller going out calling for it. He's under it. He has it for the out.
1512
01:33:49,840 --> 01:34:05,840
Keller making his feelings and his playing felt here against the Expos, putting a little life in that line-up for the Cubs.
1513
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:22,840
Backed up a throwing play by Gordon on the steal by Cash in the third inning, whereas the ball would have gone into center field and Cash would have advanced to third. Then he tripled in a run and scored another run.
1514
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:45,840
Here's a pitch. Fastball inside, ball one. Carter is batting. He flied out to Mercer in right field in the first inning. The wind-up and pitch by Bonham is a lead-up and it's a ball that went off the glove, although Olson made no sign whatsoever that it was a foul ball.
1515
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:56,840
So we'll have to wait and see what the call is. The board has it one and one.
1516
01:34:56,840 --> 01:35:19,840
Here's a swing and a miss by Carter on a down and fastball. Gordon, young catcher, mixing them up beautifully. Lead-ups, curve balls, and the fastball. When you mix them up and the pitcher has control, which Bonham has thus far this evening, it makes that fastball much faster. There's the curve ball into the dirt.
1517
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:27,840
One out, nobody on base, fourth inning for the Expos with the Cubs leading 3-2.
1518
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:39,840
The Cubs would like to win this one and go into New York with a victory under their belt. The Cubs have lost five in a row and in doing so haven't been playing good baseball.
1519
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:46,840
There's a lead-up. Oh, there's one hit deep. If it's a fair ball, we're all tied up. Kiss it goodbye.
1520
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:56,840
Bonham lead-up was high and inside, and Carter planted it out of the ballpark.
1521
01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:15,840
Then to the left field, that's his 26th home run of the year. His 70th RBI. 14 home runs off of Bonham.
1522
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:22,840
Brand new ball game, 3-3.
1523
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:33,840
Now here's Cromarty, grounded out to the second baseman in the second inning.
1524
01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:41,840
Curve ball for a strike called by Cromarty.
1525
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:46,840
There's no doubt about Carter's home run as long as it stays fair.
1526
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:50,840
There's a check swing and the ball is high.
1527
01:36:50,840 --> 01:37:00,840
One and one now to count on this fine young outfielder who has a chance of being the Rookie of the Year in the National League.
1528
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:04,840
There's a swing and a pop-up down the foul line at back of third base.
1529
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:12,840
On the first down on the warning track, reaches up one-handed and makes the catch. Fine play by Anta Veras.
1530
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:23,840
Now with two outs, here's Spire at bat. He was called out on strikes his first time at bat.
1531
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:32,840
3-3 ball game. We're in the fourth inning.
1532
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:39,840
Spire batting eighth for Dick Williams.
1533
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:52,840
First pitch to him by the Bonhamers foul back to the screen. Strike one.
1534
01:37:52,840 --> 01:38:06,840
Chris has been in several spots in this expo lineup, second, sixth, eighth. There's a curve ball he backs away from but it breaks sharply over the plate for a strike.
1535
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:16,840
That's an indication of how good a curve ball Bonham has tonight as it's breaking very sharply when Spire backs away from the pitch.
1536
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:26,840
Another curve ball, that one broke outside. Ball one, strike two. One run in on Carter's 26th home run of the year.
1537
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:34,840
That was his 70th run batted in. Fast ball inside, it misses.
1538
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:42,840
Two and to the count.
1539
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:54,840
Bonham is ready to wind up and kick and the pitch is inside. Three and two.
1540
01:38:54,840 --> 01:39:00,840
Full count on Spire. Twitchell drew up next. Cubs would like to retire Spire to lead off the inning with Twitchell.
1541
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:08,840
Here's the pitch, curve ball, and he asks for the appeal and he swings and misses as Harvey gives the appeal to the Cubs.
1542
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:18,840
Spire strikes out for the fourth strikeout for Bonham. But in the fourth inning, one run on the home run by Carter, one hit, nobody left on base.
1543
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:27,840
At the end of four, we're all tied up and the score is Cubs three Montreal three.
1544
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:39,840
If your exercise program includes sit ups, try doing 14,118 of them. Sound impossible? It's not. Dale D. Cummings did it. 14,118 sit ups.
1545
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:49,840
From 11 p.m. November 29th to 1102 a.m. November 30th, 1965. I'm Mike Pyle and that's the way it's recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
1546
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:57,840
12 hours and three minutes worth of grunts and groans and a world record. If you think that's amazing, consider this.
1547
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:02,840
The world's largest Oldsmobile dealer doesn't operate out of a big city. That's right.
1548
01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:07,840
Wild Olds, the world's largest Oldsmobile dealer, makes its home in little old Libertyville, Illinois.
1549
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:15,840
And smart shoppers are coming from Chicago, from all over the state, even from neighboring states to buy their new Oldsmobiles from Wild in Libertyville.
1550
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:19,840
Why? Why do more people buy their new Oldsmobiles in Libertyville?
1551
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:29,840
You won't find the answer in the Guinness Book of World Records, not yet anyway, but you will find it in Libertyville, Illinois, home of the world's largest Oldsmobile dealer.
1552
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:45,840
Cubs will have the top of the batting water up, Yvonne DeJesus. They come to bat here in the fifth inning in a ballgame that's now tied 3 to 3.
1553
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:52,840
Vince Boyd back with you. Minnesota Twins, I see, took a 2 to nothing lead in the first inning over the White Sox.
1554
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:59,840
Boston is leading. The New York Yankees won to nothing in the third.
1555
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:04,840
And Kansas City at the end of five in their first game, trailing the Oakland A's 4 to 2.
1556
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:12,840
Oakland had batted in the sixth inning against their rookie McElbury, who's come out of relief in the Hassler for the Royals.
1557
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:16,840
Yvonne walked and scored in the first inning, came in on an error, and he's fouled out, so he's 0 for 1 tonight.
1558
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:24,840
Twitchell's first pitch in the big rot hinder fires a strike right at the knees. Pirates look like they're going to take that first game down at St. Louis.
1559
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:28,840
They are carrying a 4 to 1 lead over the cards in the ninth inning.
1560
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:33,840
Twitchell's curve swung out of it, the string out of it beautifully, nothing in 2.
1561
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:38,840
And Philadelphia's Mike Schmidt has just wound up his 35th home run of the year.
1562
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:47,840
It came in the bottom of the fourth inning against the New York Mets with two mates aboard, so the Phillies have jumped out in front 6 to 2 at the end of 4.
1563
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:54,840
There's a swing and a high pop foul. Third baseman, rookie, poppy is under it. He's there and he makes the catch.
1564
01:41:54,840 --> 01:42:05,840
So there's one away. Larry Bittner will be the batter. He has a single and a double so far tonight.
1565
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:16,840
Yankees failed in the bottom of the third inning, so the Red Sox still carry a 1 to nothing lead as they go to bat at Yankee Stadium in the fourth.
1566
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:29,840
And get this, Earl Weaver who had come out at time had been called in the Baltimore-Toronto game in the fifth inning when Weaver was out protesting a call.
1567
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:35,840
Big argument ensued. And get this, here's a swing and a ground ball to second baseman.
1568
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:53,840
Bittner is going to be retired. Davey Cash makes the pick up. That game between Toronto and Baltimore has been co-operative in favor of Toronto under Rule 4.15, which I've got to look up when I have the time if I can find the rule book.
1569
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:55,840
The rule book.
1570
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:06,840
Be with it again in a moment.
1571
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:09,840
Thank you, John.
1572
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:12,840
That's a wild one, isn't it?
1573
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:17,840
Game co-operative in favor of the count of leaders.
1574
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:23,840
We'll get that rule for you. Send to the engineer, Johnny Stubbs, has a chance to look it up for me.
1575
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:31,840
Well, they're two gone on the first pitch of all to Bill Buckner. There is one that's too high, ball one or ball two on him.
1576
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:40,840
He hit it with a double play in the first inning. After DeJesus had walked, Bittner singled him to second. Got the third on the double play.
1577
01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:48,840
And then tallied when Morales hit a ground ball and the third baseman, Stan Pappy, threw it away for a two-base error.
1578
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:52,840
The Cubs earned a run in the fourth inning on a walk to one of errors with one out.
1579
01:43:52,840 --> 01:44:02,840
A triple by Mickey Kelleher who came in on Mike Gordon's top ball to the third base side of the mound. Two-oh did every to Buckner and he takes it to strike.
1580
01:44:02,840 --> 01:44:11,840
Inside corner at the knees, ball two, strike one on Buck. Here from Belvedere, Illinois, enjoying the ball game, Molly and Frank Cameron.
1581
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,840
Thank you, John.
1582
01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:22,840
Takes that one and it misses inside.
1583
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:32,840
Apparently the rule that is applicable here tonight, much they try out of Blue Jays, won the ball game on a forfeit.
1584
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:40,840
Three-one delivery. Buckner swings. It's a high foul on the third base line. Long run made by the third baseman and he can't get to it. It's into the box.
1585
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:53,840
It fails when a team fails to obey within a reasonable time the umpire's order for removal of a player from the game. It may be forfeited.
1586
01:44:57,840 --> 01:45:01,840
John, is it a paragraph that was in question, you know?
1587
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:05,840
I wouldn't say it's specific. I'm going to assume that.
1588
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:12,840
There's a swing by Buck and it drives down the right field foul line and it bounces foul out of play.
1589
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:15,840
This is WGN Radio, Chicago.
1590
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:21,840
We know it isn't for a day because that's concerning the start of the ball game.
1591
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:31,840
More tactics that you might use when weather may be of concern and you may try to stall a ball game.
1592
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:40,840
Or you may try to speed it up unnecessarily just to shorten it. And we know that doesn't apply in this case at all. Also.
1593
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:47,840
Three-two delivery. Buckner goes after it. It's a high fly ball and it should be hauled in.
1594
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:55,840
Dawson is over there and the center fielder makes the two-handed catch to retire the Cubs in order in the top of the fifth inning.
1595
01:45:55,840 --> 01:46:03,840
The Montreal Expos coming to bat in the bottom of the fifth with spas a moment, however, for station identification.
1596
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:06,840
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.
1597
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:11,840
And this is WGN Radio Chicago at three minutes past eight.
1598
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:18,840
Wayne Puechel is to lead off for Montreal in the bottom of the fifth that is tied three-to-three.
1599
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:27,840
Margaret's an antique nut and me, I like driving through Michigan in the fall. Just looking.
1600
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:34,840
I love all the fall colors, oranges and reds and greens and golds. I like to go kicking around in the leaves.
1601
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:39,840
But Margaret, she'll always spot a place back in the trees and sure enough there's an antique sign.
1602
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:44,840
And there'll be a cat sleeping on a pumpkin and I'll talk to the cat while Margaret buys a trivet.
1603
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:52,840
Michigan for trivets, she says. I say Michigan for camping and fishing and hunting and golf and tennis and color.
1604
01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:59,840
Lord, you've never seen such colors. Michigan's for me and Margaret. Michigan's for everyone.
1605
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:07,840
For all there is to see and do in Michigan, no other state comes close.

Or come see us in downtown Chicago. That number once again is 372-0080.
1608
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:28,840
To Michigan, Harris County.
1609
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:33,840
We're going to double check with Baltimore to be sure that we've got a specific paragraph.
1610
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:43,840
Why that game was forfeited when Earl Weaver came out and had a prolonged argument with the umpires.
1611
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:50,840
Sim play and we'll be getting the details for you and pass them along to you just as soon as we're able to get them.
1612
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:54,840
Wayne Clutchell stepping in to lead off against Bill Bonham.
1613
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:58,840
The first pitch is a ball a little bit low.
1614
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:06,840
Ray Burris has been decided is going to pitch the game that he started against the New York Mets.
1615
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:10,840
It was suspended because of the blackout. He's going to try to finish it up.
1616
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:15,840
Tomorrow night he'll carry a two to one lead with one out in the sixth inning.
1617
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:20,840
There's a strike ball one strike one down and the pitcher, Wayne Clutchell.
1618
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:28,840
Third ball. Today there's a ball outside.
1619
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:35,840
Here's what the first bulletin on that forfeits is. Two one pitch a fastball and he misses a little low.
1620
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:37,840
Three and one down the pitcher.
1621
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:46,840
Game was forfeited after manager Earl Weaver pulled his team off the field in protest over a top of them.
1622
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:52,840
There is a breaking ball for ball four on three and one.
1623
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:59,840
Bonham throws a breaking pitch and he has put Wayne Clutchell on with a walk to lead off the fifth inning.
1624
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:04,840
That's the first walk he's given up tonight and it has to go to the pitcher.
1625
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:17,840
Weaver pulled his team off the field in protest over a tarp which was being used to cover a pitcher's mound in the left field bullpen.
1626
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:22,840
Hmm. Well if that isn't weird.
1627
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:37,840
Davey Cash has single reached on an error tonight and he scored a run steps in the right hander swings drives a fastball foul down the right field line out of play.
1628
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:49,840
You know when it's all over with that just may cost the Baltimore Orioles a chance at a division championship.
1629
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:54,840
It's really something. Oh one delivery. Look out a fastball and he has to jump back out of the way.
1630
01:49:54,840 --> 01:50:04,840
Pete Browberg is now started to warm up in the cup bullpen down the left field line.
1631
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:20,840
All one strike one after a walk to the pitcher Wayne Clutchell in a ballgame that's tied at three a piece. Each team with four hits and there is ball to lay inside.
1632
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:37,840
Running it first and nobody out. Bill gave up a homer to Carter with the bases empty in the fourth inning. 2 1 delivery. There's a swing and a double play ball. DeJesus has it flips to counter here's the relay and they got him.
1633
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:54,840
Cubs coming up with a double play ball and Clutchell just couldn't get in stride quickly enough to make a tough at all for McKellar to get rid of that ball after DeJesus fed him perfectly. So the bases are empty here in the fifth inning with two gone and the rookies stand pappy stepping into the batter's box here in a moment.
1634
01:50:54,840 --> 01:51:11,840
He's single stole second in the first inning and eventually wound up scoring a run on Valentine's two base hit and he lined up to Morales in the third right handed hitter.
1635
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:26,840
Kelleher in its second base as Creel started the ballgame. Here's a swing and a drive down the right field foul line it is fouled and out of play. Buckner racing hard down the line back to the infield.
1636
01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:41,840
This couldn't quite get to it in time neither could Mercer nor Kelleher Creel coming down the line on a single jammed his ankle on the bag at first base. He stayed in to finish out that inning on the bases.
1637
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:46,840
Then they had to take him out of the ballgame so Kelleher is in there.
1638
01:51:46,840 --> 01:52:02,840
And Buckner and not embarrassed at the corners Kelleher and DeJesus middle right infield Mike Gordon the rookie doing the catching. Bittner gross and Mercer in the outfield and bottom starts to wind up the 0 1 delivery swung on and a deep drive to Mercer in right field but Bobby is under it has plenty of room.
1639
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:08,840
Reaches up and he hauls it in to retire Montreal in the fifth inning with no runs.
1640
01:52:08,840 --> 01:52:18,840
No hits in the inning. Walk in a double play so there's nobody left on and at the end of five the winnings are played. It is still tied 3 to 3.
1641
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:30,840
Hello I'm Harriet Van Horn syndicated columnist. People who read my column know I'm not afraid to say what I think and right now I'd like to say what I think about life insurance.
1642
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:44,840
For too many years we've been spending too much money for insurance because not enough of us knew about Phoenix Mutual a 125 year old company that specializes in low cost whole life insurance.
1643
01:52:44,840 --> 01:53:00,840
Independent figures show that at the ages most insurances purchased and mind you based on the most widely used method of cost comparison over and over Phoenix Mutual comes in lower than other companies for the very same coverage.
1644
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:10,840
Ask your insurance agent about Phoenix Mutual's low cost policies or check the yellow pages for your nearest Phoenix Mutual agent.
1645
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:20,840
Now I've been paid to make this endorsement but I wouldn't have made it unless I believed in it. Yes I believe in Phoenix Mutual.
1646
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:41,840
Jerry Morales is going to be leading off as the Cubs come to bat here in the top of the sixth inning tied 3 to 3.
1647
01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:53,840
Larry Kussman will be the probable starting pitcher for the Mets tomorrow night in that suspended game and he's also scheduled to start the regular game that will immediately follow that one.
1648
01:53:53,840 --> 01:54:08,840
Pat Zachary the probable starter against the Cubs on Saturday in New York with Nino Espinosa and Jackson Todd pitching in the double header on Sunday and it was Espinosa last night who defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 1 to nothing and a three hitter.
1649
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:15,840
And the little guy has singled in the only run of the ballgame.
1650
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:28,840
Ray Burris scheduled now to go in the suspended game tomorrow night. Rick Russell will start the regular scheduled game against Kussman and then that Herman Franks pitching coach Barney Schultz.
1651
01:54:28,840 --> 01:54:39,840
There's a swing by Morales and a deep drive left field. Go back going back going back. It's gone over the wall. A bell ringer for Morales gives the Cubs a 4 to 3 lead.
1652
01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:48,840
His 11th home run of the year his first one since August 26 when he got his last run batted end of the year.
1653
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:57,840
And he has just given the Cubs the lead 4 to 3 with a shot over the 375 foot mark.
1654
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:03,840
Now let's see if Mercer can regain the reign.
1655
01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:08,840
Bobby has tapped out to the pitcher and popped up to the third baseman.
1656
01:55:08,840 --> 01:55:12,840
Morales with his 11th bell ringer of the year.
1657
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:23,840
His 69th run batted end of the season.
1658
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:38,840
First pitch and Mercer takes and it's a ball a little bit low.
1659
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:49,840
Glitch will in the wind up and Mercer takes that one for ball two.
1660
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:56,840
Dual pitch coming up to Bobby with the Cubs now back out in front by a score of 4 to 3.
1661
01:55:56,840 --> 01:56:02,840
Here's a pitch a swing and a deep drive at the right center field. That's not as deep as I thought it was. It's much too high.
1662
01:56:02,840 --> 01:56:07,840
Valentine is there and he grabs it.
1663
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:25,840
One away in the sixth inning. That'll bring up Steve Onoveras who walked and scored on McKelligar's triple in the fourth inning.
1664
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:30,840
Cubs now with five hits off Quitchell who has struck out three men and walked two so far tonight.
1665
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:34,840
And the Cubs trying to beat him for the second time in the season.
1666
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:42,840
McQuitlin delivers. Too high. Ball one.
1667
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:49,840
Phillies batting in the bottom of the fifth inning and they lead the New York Mets 6 to 2.
1668
01:56:49,840 --> 01:56:59,840
One-oh delivery. Takes it inside just above the knees.
1669
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:05,840
That's a broad ball going in from the bullpen. That a pitch against the Phillies in the bottom of the fifth inning.
1670
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:17,840
And they curve and he checks his swing and that's too low. Ball three on Steve Onoveras and they just might let him go after this one.
1671
01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:21,840
Three-oh delivery. He'll take ball four. Too low.
1672
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:38,840
Rock number three issued by Quitchell and with one away here in the sixth inning and the Cubs leading, McKelligar in this situation, same spot on the fourth inning, drilled a triple and brought in out of errors from first base with it.
1673
01:57:38,840 --> 01:57:49,840
Those of you who might have missed it maybe be kind enough to give us a replay.
1674
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:56,840
Yankees batting in the bottom of the fourth inning. Boston Red Sox with a one-to-nothing lead over New York.
1675
01:57:56,840 --> 01:58:03,840
Quitchell's first pitch swung on. Ground ball fouled in front of Harry Dunlop coaching at first base.
1676
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:15,840
Earlier tonight it was reported that Alvin Dart is not going to be retained as the manager of the San Diego Padres.
1677
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:29,840
I want to emphasize that that was only a report. Oh one delivery. He pushes a butt and fouls it over under the carpet in the first base side out of the reach of everybody.
1678
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:36,840
Last time we talked to Alvin about it he said he just had a handshake out there with Buzzy Bessie and Ray Kroc.
1679
01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:41,840
He's had some problems with some of the players. Gene Tennis who had not been playing as much as he would like to.
1680
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:50,840
Had indicated that he wanted to be traded away and it's kind of tough to trade a fellow like that when you've given him a multi-year contract for a bundle of dough.
1681
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:56,840
Got to find somebody who'll take that contract over.
1682
01:58:56,840 --> 01:59:08,840
Oh two deliveries. Swing and a foul off the bare hand of the catcher Gary Carter.
1683
01:59:08,840 --> 01:59:16,840
That forfeited game once he gets the victory for Toronto.
1684
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:25,840
Leaves him with a record of four and six and Grimsley is the loser for the ninth time this year for the Orioles. Game forfeited.
1685
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,840
Here's the pitch. Fast ball high and tight to make.
1686
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:46,840
Oh one strike two. He was kind of looking for that one.
1687
01:59:46,840 --> 01:59:49,840
One and two with a run around at first base Steve Anabares.
1688
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:52,840
Wayne Quitchell delivers. Got to her swings and there's a high fly ball.
1689
01:59:52,840 --> 01:59:59,840
Cromarty going back. He'll have room for this one. He is there reaches up. Hauls it in. Anabares gets back to first base.
1690
01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:03,840
And there are two gone and Mike Gordon will be the hitter now for the Cubs.
1691
02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:08,840
Well Reggie Jackson who was the hero in last night's New York Yankee victory.
1692
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:16,840
After failing twice to sacrifice running the count to three and two. Reggie ended the ballgame with a home run with the man on.
1693
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:27,840
He has just homered for the twenty seventh time this season came in the fourth inning with the bases empty tonight and that would tie up the ballgame one to one in the bottom of the fourth.
1694
02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:34,840
Reggie Jackson. According to the stories here he also made two spectacular defensive plays last night.
1695
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:39,840
As a swing and Gordon files one back into the seats out of play.
1696
02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:50,840
Make up that little roller in the fourth inning with Kelleher on a third base. Nick was able to score. So this rookie got his first major league run batted in.
1697
02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:56,840
And exactly a bullet that he hit. But it had had it been. Maybe somebody would have been there to catch it.
1698
02:00:56,840 --> 02:01:07,840
Oh one did every he takes it high ball one strike one.
1699
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:16,840
The Yanks and the Red Sox are tied and Baltimore had their game lost to Toronto on a forfeit of all things.
1700
02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:28,840
But you're ready with a one one delivery. Gordon swings and misses and a sharp breaking curve down and into the rookie.
1701
02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:42,840
Remember who the three brothers were 14 years ago today played in the outfield at the same time for a national league ball club in a regular game 14 years ago today.
1702
02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:48,840
There's the pitch swung out and missed and Gordon fans to retire the Cubs in the sixth inning.
1703
02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:58,840
Jerry Morales lead off Palmer gives the Cubs a lead. Walk in the inning one man left on the bases while you're thinking about the answer to that one.
1704
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:07,840
Give you time also to listen to this at the end of five and a half innings of play here at Montreal the Cubs lead the Montreal Expos four to three.
1705
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:13,840
You know any knowledgeable baseball man will tell you that a good switch hitter is a pretty valuable guy to have in the lineup.
1706
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:19,840
Whether the pitching is right handed or left handed you know there's one guy on your team who's equal to the occasional.
1707
02:02:19,840 --> 02:02:23,840
Of course you could say much the same thing about old style beer.
1708
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:28,840
Some beers are fine for when you're hot and dry and you just want to quench a thirst.
1709
02:02:28,840 --> 02:02:33,840
But once you've satisfied that thirst you find the flavor just isn't there.
1710
02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:41,840
Now that's where old style goes both ways. Great when you're hot and thirsty and just as great when you simply have a taste for a beer.
1711
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:47,840
That's because old style is brewed the old world way in a pure brewing double brewing process called poisoning.
1712
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:53,840
Brew a beer once you've got a good beer. Brew a beer twice you've got a great light beer.
1713
02:02:53,840 --> 02:03:00,840
And old style is one American premium beer that is still fully poisoned naturally carbonated in the old world way.
1714
02:03:00,840 --> 02:03:20,840
So trial style pure brewed in God's country.
1715
02:03:20,840 --> 02:03:25,840
Sparky Lyle has come out of pitch with the New York Yankees in the fifth inning.
1716
02:03:25,840 --> 02:03:30,840
Reggie Jackson's home in the bottom of the fourth has tied it one to one up.
1717
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:38,840
While relieving Mike Torres will be key out of the hill for the Red Sox.
1718
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:46,840
Andre Dawson to lead off the third man and manager Dick Williams batting order here at Montreal.
1719
02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:51,840
Right headed hitter fouled out and struck out so far tonight against Bonham.
1720
02:03:51,840 --> 02:03:57,840
But last night he was a hero with a triple that won the ball game in the bottom of the 12th inning.
1721
02:03:57,840 --> 02:04:04,840
Give him his 58th run batted in the 11th time this year that Dawson has driven in the winning run for the Expos.
1722
02:04:04,840 --> 02:04:09,840
Only Gary Cotter has done it any more often than this kid.
1723
02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:16,840
Cotters batted in the winning run a dozen times. Takes the first pitch high for a ball.
1724
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:22,840
Here's the windup. There's a swing and a tap foul right at the feet of the catcher.
1725
02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:32,840
That did not score in the top of the sixth inning at Philadelphia. The Phillies still carry a 6 to 2 lead.
1726
02:04:32,840 --> 02:04:37,840
Ball one strike one to count.
1727
02:04:37,840 --> 02:04:44,840
Wind up by Bonham. There's a swing and another tap foul right at the feet of the catcher.
1728
02:04:44,840 --> 02:04:51,840
At Chicago tonight the Minnesota Twins who last night shut out the White Sox 7 to nothing have a 2 nothing lead.
1729
02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:55,840
At the end of two innings of play Jeff Zahn trying to even up for the year.
1730
02:04:55,840 --> 02:05:04,840
One time Cub left hander going against another former Cub Steve Stone is 14 and 10 for the year.
1731
02:05:04,840 --> 02:05:12,840
Bottoms 1-2 pitch a half swing the ball hits the batter's bat goes into the seat foul over by the dugout on the first base side.
1732
02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:20,840
You've been thinking about who those brothers were 14 years ago today who played in the National League and the outfield at the same time.
1733
02:05:20,840 --> 02:05:24,840
You got it huh? Figured you would. The Alou brothers yep.
1734
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:31,840
Let up and he looks at us right. Beautiful pitch by Bonham.
1735
02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:35,840
That for Bill is his fifth strike out of the night.
1736
02:05:35,840 --> 02:05:40,840
Tony Perez steps in he struck out in the first inning on a 3-2 pitch.
1737
02:05:40,840 --> 02:05:48,840
Stan Pappy the runner at first took off Perez struck out but Mike Gordon made a throw that was into the dirt.
1738
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:53,840
And then Valentine brought him in with a double.
1739
02:05:53,840 --> 02:05:58,840
First pitch by Bill a fastball swung on he fouls it way down the right field line.
1740
02:05:58,840 --> 02:06:09,840
The Alou brothers Philippe, Matty and Jesus all played briefly in the San Francisco giant outfield the same time in a regular game 14 years ago today.
1741
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:15,840
September 15th of 1963.
1742
02:06:15,840 --> 02:06:19,840
Philippe of course was a fellow who stayed around for the longest period of time.
1743
02:06:19,840 --> 02:06:27,840
Here's a swing and a tap on a batter's charging in he picks it up throws and Tony Perez who's not exactly free to put was pegged out.
1744
02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:42,840
They're too gone to the sixth inning and that'll bring up that was Valentine. Double in amount is seventy second run batted into the year.
1745
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:45,840
Toronto a winner out of forfeit.
1746
02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:56,840
Over the Baltimore Orioles tonight Earl Weaver pulled his team off the field in protest over at Carpalam which was being used to cover a pitcher's mound in the left field bullpen.
1747
02:06:56,840 --> 02:07:00,840
Oh wouldn't that be a weird way to lose a division championship.
1748
02:07:00,840 --> 02:07:02,840
And it's sure possible.
1749
02:07:02,840 --> 02:07:10,840
The Orioles you know in second place starting tonight only two and a half behind the Yankees.
1750
02:07:10,840 --> 02:07:15,840
First pitch this right hander takes the fastball ball one.
1751
02:07:15,840 --> 02:07:22,840
Yeah most Valentine the hitter bottom delivers and there's a strike with a fastball by the way on Saturday.
1752
02:07:22,840 --> 02:07:29,840
September 24th a week from this coming Saturday when the Cubs are at home it's going to be a special gift for you.
1753
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:36,840
There's a swing and a drive over the shortstop set in the left field they said on a curve ball.
1754
02:07:36,840 --> 02:07:47,840
Now this Valentine represents the tying run over first base with two off.
1755
02:07:47,840 --> 02:08:01,840
Here comes Gary Carter grilled his 26th homer hold it over the left field wall in the fourth inning with the bases empty.
1756
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:17,840
The gift is going to be that Ernie Banks Hall of Fame montage the first 15,000 Cub fans to Brighby Field Saturday September 24th with box seats or general admission tickets
1757
02:08:17,840 --> 02:08:27,840
or receive the Ernie Banks Hall of Fame montage as a gift Saturday September 24th bottom end of the stretch.
1758
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:42,840
Fastball swing on he's got a base hit down the left field line coming over to cut it off Larry Bittner and the runner will have to hold that second base as Carter grills a sharp single and credit Bittner with some good hustle to keep that ball from getting beyond him.
1759
02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:57,840
Had it then this ballgame would be tied as it is it's still the Cubs for Montreal three at Montreal now has put runners at first and second with two gone and Warren Crowe Marty little left hander go for two.
1760
02:08:57,840 --> 02:08:59,840
We're going to have a pinch runner.
1761
02:08:59,840 --> 02:09:16,840
Well it's Valentine is that a sore ankle he had to leave the ballgame last night.
1762
02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:32,840
We are in the sixth that's Lloyd reporting and we hope you're enjoying the broadcast the Cubs try to break their losing streak here against Montreal before heading into New York for five decisions with the Mets over the weekend.
1763
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:42,840
Johnny Stubbs our engineer Jackman of the top producer
1764
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:48,840
Expose now with a half dozen hits off bottom
1765
02:09:48,840 --> 02:10:00,840
to coming in succession after retired the first two batters in this inning and for Marty with an eight game hitting streak takes the first pitch a ball outside of this little up tender
1766
02:10:00,840 --> 02:10:04,840
Dennis lamp right hander now throwing in the cup bullpen
1767
02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:12,840
for Dick Williams as a righty and a lefty throwing in his bullpen here's the pitch crow Marty takes a fastball inside
1768
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:15,840
will back in any
1769
02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:21,840
the lefty down the right field line in their bullpen and Freddie holds worth the right hander
1770
02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:33,840
bottom is far behind to it all with the tying run at second to go ahead run at first Montreal threatening in the bottom of six with two out and the two will pitch for Marty swing ground ball to the shortstop the H's bubbles
1771
02:10:33,840 --> 02:10:40,840
and up rose hit the force play at second to retire the side nice recovery by a bond issues.
1772
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:47,840
Gary Carter just an instant late getting in there to keep the ending alive.
1773
02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:59,840
Hard hit ground ball three bond or dropped it picked it up fired quickly to cover her no guns to hit Montreal leaves two men on and at the end of six full innings of play here at Olympic Stadium.
1774
02:10:59,840 --> 02:11:09,840
It is still the cops for the expo three right now to value hardware stores offer batteries that will really live up to their reputation.
1775
02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:32,840
Railback heavy duty supercells will give you twice the life of their standard batteries and radios tape recorders flashlights kids toys and games and real back heavy duty supercell batteries from true value hardware stores are backed by a real back own guarantee if they're heavy duty supercells should leak and damage any device in which they're used.
1776
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:42,840
Real back will repair or replace that device free of charge replace all your worn out batteries with the batteries that will live up to twice as long.
1777
02:11:42,840 --> 02:12:11,840
Get real back heavy duty supercells and popular sizes from participating to value hardware stores.
1778
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:17,840
Sam I hear so came in as a pinch runner will stay in the play right field here in the seventh inning.
1779
02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:23,840
We have another detail now on that corporate of that Baltimore Toronto game to the Blue Jays.
1780
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:28,840
The umpires gave Baltimore manager Earl Weaver 15 minutes to resume play.
1781
02:12:28,840 --> 02:12:42,840
And when he did not that's when the game was forfeited. Weaver said he wanted either a top of them to protect his bullpen or he wanted them to remove the top of them that was protecting the bullpen of the Blue Jays.
1782
02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:48,840
And that certainly doesn't seem like too much of a request.
1783
02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:52,840
Of course we weren't on hand. We don't know all the details.
1784
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:59,840
Certainly they will file a protest. Lou on that forfeit that is really a stunner.
1785
02:12:59,840 --> 02:13:04,840
Well it's dog days and you never know what managers will do nowadays when they get in a close race.
1786
02:13:04,840 --> 02:13:08,840
But I can't understand that if he has his two pitchers warming up.
1787
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:12,840
There's no reason that the bullpen should not be covered for Toronto.
1788
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:16,840
If Toronto's warming up they have to take off the tarp to warm up.
1789
02:13:16,840 --> 02:13:22,840
But if the bullpen is not being used I can see no reason for not protecting it.
1790
02:13:22,840 --> 02:13:24,840
Now we don't have any details on that.
1791
02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:28,840
Well that's what you said in the story.
1792
02:13:28,840 --> 02:13:30,840
I didn't say anybody was warming up.
1793
02:13:30,840 --> 02:13:35,840
Well the story we got over there was that Baltimore had two pitchers warming up.
1794
02:13:35,840 --> 02:13:37,840
Oh I didn't have that.
1795
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:39,840
I thought you were reading the thing.
1796
02:13:39,840 --> 02:13:40,840
No that's the story.
1797
02:13:40,840 --> 02:13:47,840
Oh that explains it.
1798
02:13:47,840 --> 02:13:54,840
And here we're in the seventh inning and Bill Bonham is going to lead off and he takes it for a pitch of ball.
1799
02:13:54,840 --> 02:13:57,840
I can't understand we were doing that and
1800
02:13:57,840 --> 02:14:02,840
we're not doing a ball game that's not being played with some action in between the foul line.
1801
02:14:02,840 --> 02:14:06,840
He can lose the pennant and a position by that.
1802
02:14:06,840 --> 02:14:09,840
And he's got his team right up there in contention.
1803
02:14:09,840 --> 02:14:16,840
But that loss could be the difference between Baltimore winning or losing that Eastern Division.
1804
02:14:16,840 --> 02:14:18,840
1-1 to the Braves.
1805
02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:27,840
And he takes a strike.
1806
02:14:27,840 --> 02:14:32,840
Wayne Critchell yielded a homer to Jerry Morales leading off the sixth inning.
1807
02:14:32,840 --> 02:14:35,840
There's a curve ball swung on at a high pop foul.
1808
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:37,840
Gary Carter the catcher coming to the screen.
1809
02:14:37,840 --> 02:14:45,840
He does not have room and it's back on a player.
1810
02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:48,840
Cubs with five hits have committed two errors tonight.
1811
02:14:48,840 --> 02:14:54,840
The Montreal Expos three hits or three runs rather on six hits and they've been guilty of an error.
1812
02:14:54,840 --> 02:14:59,840
They permitted the Cubs to get on the board in the first inning.
1813
02:14:59,840 --> 02:15:01,840
Cubs with one hit in the first inning.
1814
02:15:01,840 --> 02:15:02,840
One in the second.
1815
02:15:02,840 --> 02:15:05,840
One in the third.
1816
02:15:05,840 --> 02:15:06,840
One in the fourth.
1817
02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:08,840
And the homer on the sixth inning.
1818
02:15:08,840 --> 02:15:13,840
Now the pitch to bottom and he takes it high and tight.
1819
02:15:13,840 --> 02:15:19,840
Foul ball came down apparently and hit some customer right in the forehead.
1820
02:15:19,840 --> 02:15:25,840
It came back up over the screen behind the plate and he's going back for a little first aid attention.
1821
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:26,840
2-2 delivery.
1822
02:15:26,840 --> 02:15:29,840
Fast ball, a swing and a tap foul.
1823
02:15:29,840 --> 02:15:40,840
Carter races out onto the carpet to retrieve it.
1824
02:15:40,840 --> 02:15:45,840
Here are the details on the story which we had not seen earlier.
1825
02:15:45,840 --> 02:15:48,840
Orioles trailing, you knew that, four to nothing in the last of the fifth.
1826
02:15:48,840 --> 02:15:50,840
And we were asked to play dumb fire.
1827
02:15:50,840 --> 02:15:58,840
Larry Barnett, a veteran, to order a topolum removed which was covering the pitcher's mound in the Toronto bullpen.
1828
02:15:58,840 --> 02:16:00,840
Down in the left field corner.
1829
02:16:00,840 --> 02:16:02,840
The drop was there to protect it from a steady rain.
1830
02:16:02,840 --> 02:16:08,840
Here's a swing and a ground ball, pass the pitcher, but the shortstop Spire behind second has it, throws and he's got it.
1831
02:16:08,840 --> 02:16:11,840
Nice play by Spire.
1832
02:16:11,840 --> 02:16:14,840
Directly behind second base.
1833
02:16:14,840 --> 02:16:21,840
At the time of Weaver's complaint, the Orioles had two pitchers warming up in their bullpen in right field.
1834
02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:25,840
And Weaver felt it was unfair.
1835
02:16:25,840 --> 02:16:35,840
At the bullpen of Toronto, their mound was covered while the ball of ours was getting soaked from the rain.
1836
02:16:35,840 --> 02:16:38,840
And he pulled his club off the field into the dugout.
1837
02:16:38,840 --> 02:16:42,840
Barnett gave them 15 minutes, as the rules say, to get back on the field.
1838
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:45,840
When they did not, he ordered the game forfeited.
1839
02:16:45,840 --> 02:16:53,840
Well, now that clears it up for me anyway, but I don't understand why Weaver.
1840
02:16:53,840 --> 02:16:55,840
His bullpen was being used.
1841
02:16:55,840 --> 02:17:00,840
Yeah, if his bullpen was not being used and he didn't have a cover, then I can see.
1842
02:17:00,840 --> 02:17:03,840
He should have asked for an umbrella over those fellows, Luke.
1843
02:17:03,840 --> 02:17:10,840
Well, he shouldn't have warmed up his pitchers and see what would have happened.
1844
02:17:10,840 --> 02:17:13,840
Well, sometimes those managers get a little flaky, you know.
1845
02:17:13,840 --> 02:17:17,840
Yeah, so I said, it's dog days and manager days. You don't know what they'll do.
1846
02:17:17,840 --> 02:17:20,840
They'll get to the tight pennant race.
1847
02:17:20,840 --> 02:17:25,840
They'll get to the left shoe on the right foot and things like that.
1848
02:17:25,840 --> 02:17:29,840
It was a curved hazer that swung out of this.
1849
02:17:29,840 --> 02:17:36,840
I went to the wrong hotel room one time, 48.
1850
02:17:36,840 --> 02:17:39,840
Hopefully it swung out and fouled.
1851
02:17:39,840 --> 02:17:44,840
Well, I don't know what's happened to our friend Mr. Brickhouse, but we're in a new hotel here today,
1852
02:17:44,840 --> 02:17:48,840
and I'd take a little walk today and I was coming back to the hotel.
1853
02:17:48,840 --> 02:17:52,840
It's going to be 50 yards, no more than that away from it, quarter of a block,
1854
02:17:52,840 --> 02:17:56,840
and I see Jack walking in the opposite direction on the other side of the street.
1855
02:17:56,840 --> 02:18:00,840
I hollered over to him and he, miles to come on over.
1856
02:18:00,840 --> 02:18:03,840
I walked across that narrow street. He said, where are you going?
1857
02:18:03,840 --> 02:18:06,840
I said, I'm going to the hotel.
1858
02:18:06,840 --> 02:18:08,840
Well, he said, no, I'm going to the hotel.
1859
02:18:08,840 --> 02:18:11,840
I said, well, if you are, you're going to have to go around the block.
1860
02:18:11,840 --> 02:18:14,840
He said, you mean that isn't it right over there?
1861
02:18:14,840 --> 02:18:18,840
Well, it's got broadcasters too.
1862
02:18:18,840 --> 02:18:19,840
He said, what are the apartment buildings?
1863
02:18:19,840 --> 02:18:21,840
I said, Jack, that's an apartment building.
1864
02:18:21,840 --> 02:18:25,840
If you're interested in going over there to buy one or something or rent one, go ahead.
1865
02:18:25,840 --> 02:18:28,840
He said, that's not our hotel.
1866
02:18:28,840 --> 02:18:29,840
Now, this is in the daytime.
1867
02:18:29,840 --> 02:18:34,840
Had it happened after the ball game last night, after he had stopped for some refreshments,
1868
02:18:34,840 --> 02:18:37,840
then I could understand. It was broad daylight.
1869
02:18:37,840 --> 02:18:43,840
After that trip from St. Louis and yesterday last night's 12-inning game, anything's got to happen.
1870
02:18:43,840 --> 02:18:45,840
That's a good old man.
1871
02:18:45,840 --> 02:18:51,840
I took him by the hand and let him back into the hotel lobby.
1872
02:18:51,840 --> 02:18:55,840
Gave him a little sack of jelly beans. He was happy.
1873
02:18:55,840 --> 02:18:56,840
0-2 pitch.
1874
02:18:56,840 --> 02:19:04,840
It just takes a curve and it's low. Ball one, strike two.
1875
02:19:04,840 --> 02:19:07,840
Come through batting here in the seventh inning with one out.
1876
02:19:07,840 --> 02:19:08,840
The bases are ripped.
1877
02:19:08,840 --> 02:19:11,840
And Yvonne, who walked and scored on the error in the first inning,
1878
02:19:11,840 --> 02:19:14,840
0-2 tonight, fouled out twice to the catcher.
1879
02:19:14,840 --> 02:19:17,840
Relay the rivals. They got to see a repeat.
1880
02:19:17,840 --> 02:19:18,840
1-2 delivery.
1881
02:19:18,840 --> 02:19:20,840
There's a swing and a miss and a curve.
1882
02:19:20,840 --> 02:19:25,840
That broke sharply away. Kind of signed our team with that one.
1883
02:19:25,840 --> 02:19:28,840
Let's pause a moment for station identification.
1884
02:19:28,840 --> 02:19:32,840
This is the WGN, Chicago Cubs baseball network.
1885
02:19:32,840 --> 02:19:41,840
And this is WGN Radio Chicago 835.
1886
02:19:41,840 --> 02:19:45,840
Larry tonight has a single and a double and a ground out.
1887
02:19:45,840 --> 02:19:49,840
He had two hits last night, including his tenth home of the year.
1888
02:19:49,840 --> 02:19:52,840
So he has four for nine up here at Fontial.
1889
02:19:52,840 --> 02:19:59,840
This guy has eight hits now in his last 15 trips to the plate, eight for 15.
1890
02:19:59,840 --> 02:20:01,840
Now batting 297 for the year.
1891
02:20:01,840 --> 02:20:03,840
The first pitch from Tretchell was a ball too low.
1892
02:20:03,840 --> 02:20:07,840
Well, the Pirates won that first game at St. Louis tonight,
1893
02:20:07,840 --> 02:20:11,840
despite a cardinal rally in the bottom of the night that fell one run short.
1894
02:20:11,840 --> 02:20:15,840
Pirates are winner 4-3 in the first one.
1895
02:20:15,840 --> 02:20:17,840
1-0 delivery.
1896
02:20:17,840 --> 02:20:18,840
Takes it low.
1897
02:20:18,840 --> 02:20:23,840
John Candeleria held on to get his 16th win, gets five losses.
1898
02:20:23,840 --> 02:20:29,840
Eric Rasmussen tagged with his 15th defeat of the season after 10 wins.
1899
02:20:29,840 --> 02:20:37,840
And story, Candeleria now 17-5, gets the win, 4-3 in the opener.
1900
02:20:37,840 --> 02:20:40,840
That's a score here, 4-3 favor the Cubs.
1901
02:20:40,840 --> 02:20:46,840
Bittner takes Wichita's next pitch low, ball three.
1902
02:20:46,840 --> 02:20:52,840
At the end of five, Boston and the New York Yankees remain tied 1-1.
1903
02:20:52,840 --> 02:20:58,840
And Texas has just hit California with four runs to take a 4-1 lead at their ball game tonight.
1904
02:20:58,840 --> 02:21:05,840
And Hargrove, a homer, is 16th of the year for the Rangers in the second inning.
1905
02:21:05,840 --> 02:21:10,840
So that's increased their lead to 5-1 in the bottom of the second.
1906
02:21:10,840 --> 02:21:11,840
There's ball for Bittner.
1907
02:21:11,840 --> 02:21:17,840
So Larry draws a walk.
1908
02:21:17,840 --> 02:21:20,840
The Bavarians, first base, second half.
1909
02:21:20,840 --> 02:21:26,840
Wins lead to the Sox, 4-0 at the end of two and a half innings in Chicago.
1910
02:21:26,840 --> 02:21:36,840
And at the Oakland A's, five, Kansas City three, at the end of six innings of play in their first game tonight.
1911
02:21:36,840 --> 02:21:41,840
Bittner with a walk, keeps the inning alive, and here comes Bill Buckner.
1912
02:21:41,840 --> 02:21:44,840
We're going to have a pinch runner now.
1913
02:21:44,840 --> 02:21:51,840
Jose Cardenal is going to run for Bittner at first base.
1914
02:21:51,840 --> 02:21:58,840
Jose, who is way down in the bullpen, down the left field line, is going to take plenty of time.
1915
02:21:58,840 --> 02:22:08,840
The little fella finally reaches the carpet on the first base side of the infield.
1916
02:22:08,840 --> 02:22:16,840
We are in the seventh with the Cubs leading 4-3.
1917
02:22:16,840 --> 02:22:21,840
Jose Cardenal running at first base.
1918
02:22:21,840 --> 02:22:25,840
Expos about hit the Cubs tonight, 6-5.
1919
02:22:25,840 --> 02:22:26,840
But the Cubs have the lead.
1920
02:22:26,840 --> 02:22:30,840
Each team with one home run so far tonight.
1921
02:22:30,840 --> 02:22:33,840
Buckner looking for his first hit of the night, twitchle into the stretch of the livers.
1922
02:22:33,840 --> 02:22:36,840
There's a swing and a deep drive down the right field line.
1923
02:22:36,840 --> 02:22:39,840
And it is a foul ball.
1924
02:22:39,840 --> 02:22:42,840
Up into the yellow seats, down the right field line.
1925
02:22:42,840 --> 02:22:51,840
He was out in front of it just a little bit too much.
1926
02:22:51,840 --> 02:22:53,840
Joe Jose trotting back to first base.
1927
02:22:53,840 --> 02:22:58,840
And Buckner getting back into the batter's box.
1928
02:22:58,840 --> 02:23:06,840
Marmite Ray Burris is going to be the starting pitcher in the suspended game against Jerry Kussman of the New York Mets.
1929
02:23:06,840 --> 02:23:10,840
And we'll have the regularly scheduled game.
1930
02:23:10,840 --> 02:23:14,840
And meet the Mets again Saturday in a single one and a double hitter on Sunday.
1931
02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:15,840
Here's the pitch.
1932
02:23:15,840 --> 02:23:16,840
Takes the pass ball.
1933
02:23:16,840 --> 02:23:21,840
It's just outside.
1934
02:23:21,840 --> 02:23:25,840
Ball one, strike one on the Cubs' first baseman, Bill Buckner.
1935
02:23:25,840 --> 02:23:33,840
Our broadcast tonight will be getting underway both on WGN and on our network at 6 o'clock.
1936
02:23:33,840 --> 02:23:34,840
Here's the pitch.
1937
02:23:34,840 --> 02:23:37,840
Kerr blowing inside.
1938
02:23:37,840 --> 02:23:39,840
Ball two, strike one.
1939
02:23:39,840 --> 02:23:44,840
Hugh Gawm, runner at first base.
1940
02:23:44,840 --> 02:23:48,840
Big, gangly Wayne Twichell.
1941
02:23:48,840 --> 02:23:53,840
Trying to get out of the seventh inning, he retired the first two Cubs, his mound opponent, bottom.
1942
02:23:53,840 --> 02:23:54,840
And to Jesus.
1943
02:23:54,840 --> 02:23:58,840
Struck the Jesus out with a good sidearm curveball.
1944
02:23:58,840 --> 02:24:00,840
Then walked Bittner and Cardinal running for him.
1945
02:24:00,840 --> 02:24:05,840
And a count of ball two, strike one on Bill Buckner.
1946
02:24:05,840 --> 02:24:10,840
Twichell taking an awful lot of time.
1947
02:24:10,840 --> 02:24:13,840
He looks again down to Gary Carter.
1948
02:24:13,840 --> 02:24:16,840
Act as though he's never seen that side before.
1949
02:24:16,840 --> 02:24:17,840
Now the big fellow's ready.
1950
02:24:17,840 --> 02:24:19,840
Hands at the belt, kicks delivers.
1951
02:24:19,840 --> 02:24:21,840
Buckner takes it too low.
1952
02:24:21,840 --> 02:24:28,840
All of that to throw a ball.
1953
02:24:28,840 --> 02:24:33,840
Houston tried to move into second place in the National League Western Division.
1954
02:24:33,840 --> 02:24:40,840
The San Francisco Giants this afternoon at Candlestick Park, 6 to 3.
1955
02:24:40,840 --> 02:24:44,840
And the Reds playing the Dodgers tonight in the West Coast.
1956
02:24:44,840 --> 02:24:45,840
Two out, 3-1 pitch.
1957
02:24:45,840 --> 02:24:47,840
Buckner swings, pulls the ground ball.
1958
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:49,840
Perez backhands it, comes back to first base.
1959
02:24:49,840 --> 02:24:52,840
Unassisted put-out, retires the side.
1960
02:24:52,840 --> 02:24:54,840
Hard hit.
1961
02:24:54,840 --> 02:24:55,840
But he couldn't get it by.
1962
02:24:55,840 --> 02:24:56,840
The veteran first baseman Perez.
1963
02:24:56,840 --> 02:24:58,840
No runs, no hits.
1964
02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:00,840
One man left.
1965
02:25:00,840 --> 02:25:05,840
Now this ballgame moves to the bottom of the seventh with the Montreal Expo fans standing for the stretch.
1966
02:25:05,840 --> 02:25:08,840
Cubs 4 and the Expos 3.
1967
02:25:08,840 --> 02:25:12,840
Chances are you may have different monthly bills for different amounts due at different times,
1968
02:25:12,840 --> 02:25:15,840
so you might appreciate a timely suggestion on handling the payments.
1969
02:25:15,840 --> 02:25:19,840
Consider combining all your monthly bills into a single, convenient monthly payment
1970
02:25:19,840 --> 02:25:23,840
with a consolidation loan from friendly Bob Adams at General Finance Corporation.
1971
02:25:23,840 --> 02:25:29,840
Besides reducing your debts, a General Finance bill consolidation loan makes bill paying more convenient,
1972
02:25:29,840 --> 02:25:31,840
easier to keep track of.
1973
02:25:31,840 --> 02:25:34,840
Call friendly Bob Adams at Andover 32020
1974
02:25:34,840 --> 02:25:36,840
whether someone is willing to listen and willing to help.
1975
02:25:36,840 --> 02:25:41,840
Even while your phoning action begins on your own personal General Finance consolidation loan,
1976
02:25:41,840 --> 02:25:46,840
it lets you reduce a month's collection of scattered bills to one convenient monthly payment.
1977
02:25:46,840 --> 02:25:48,840
Bill paying is simplified and organized.
1978
02:25:48,840 --> 02:25:50,840
You may even save money over the long run.
1979
02:25:50,840 --> 02:25:55,840
So whatever your financial problems, call friendly Bob at Andover 32020.
1980
02:25:55,840 --> 02:26:00,840
Send over 32020 for a General Finance bill consolidation loan up to $10,000.
1981
02:26:00,840 --> 02:26:04,840
There are over 65 offices in the Chicagoland area.
1982
02:26:04,840 --> 02:26:07,840
Also an office in Mundelein.
1983
02:26:07,840 --> 02:26:15,840
Music
1984
02:26:15,840 --> 02:26:17,840
Well, they're looking for a pinch hitter here.
1985
02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:20,840
Of course, fire is to lead off.
1986
02:26:20,840 --> 02:26:22,840
And a pitcher due up next.
1987
02:26:22,840 --> 02:26:26,840
Adele Unser has already stepped out in front of the dugout into the on deck circle.
1988
02:26:26,840 --> 02:26:28,840
Back for the pitcher.
1989
02:26:28,840 --> 02:26:35,840
Spire has spanned twice tonight against Bottom, who has registered five strikeouts.
1990
02:26:35,840 --> 02:26:39,840
He gave up three hits in the first inning.
1991
02:26:39,840 --> 02:26:42,840
And a home run in the fourth with the bases empty.
1992
02:26:42,840 --> 02:26:45,840
With two out in the sixth, he gave up two singles.
1993
02:26:45,840 --> 02:26:49,840
Delivers to Spire and the right-hander takes it inside, ball one.
1994
02:26:49,840 --> 02:26:55,840
And he got out of the inning when Comarty hit a hard ground ball to the shortstop.
1995
02:26:55,840 --> 02:27:02,840
Yvonne DeJesus, who forced him at second base, forced Potter at second base.
1996
02:27:02,840 --> 02:27:05,840
There's a ball a little low.
1997
02:27:05,840 --> 02:27:10,840
Bottom beginning to show signs of trouble out there.
1998
02:27:10,840 --> 02:27:16,840
He is behind on Spire 2-0.
1999
02:27:16,840 --> 02:27:21,840
Binder winds, here's a pitch swung on a high bouncing foul on the third base side.
2000
02:27:21,840 --> 02:27:25,840
Jose Cardinal, who came in to run for Bittner, is staying in to play left field.
2001
02:27:25,840 --> 02:27:27,840
Gubs with Morales in center.
2002
02:27:27,840 --> 02:27:30,840
He has a homer tonight.
2003
02:27:30,840 --> 02:27:36,840
And in right field is Bobby Mercer, and he is playing his old teammate Spire to swing late, guarding the line and right against him.
2004
02:27:36,840 --> 02:27:37,840
Here's the pitch.
2005
02:27:37,840 --> 02:27:47,840
He's out of serve and it's outside. Ball, three, strike one.
2006
02:27:47,840 --> 02:27:51,840
Bell with only one complete game this year, and that was his first start of the season.
2007
02:27:51,840 --> 02:27:55,840
There's a fastball swung on. He pulls a foul on the third base line.
2008
02:27:55,840 --> 02:28:04,840
Ball, three, strike two.
2009
02:28:04,840 --> 02:28:07,840
Cap in that forfeited game. Toronto four runs, five hits.
2010
02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:14,840
Baltimore, no runs, two hits.
2011
02:28:14,840 --> 02:28:17,840
Somebody tuning in like, what forfeited game? What do you mean that forfeited the game?
2012
02:28:17,840 --> 02:28:21,840
Well, forfeit Major League Games when you're in a pennant race.
2013
02:28:21,840 --> 02:28:22,840
Well, they did.
2014
02:28:22,840 --> 02:28:25,840
Here's the swing and a bouncing ball. The haste is coming in to his right. He's got it.
2015
02:28:25,840 --> 02:28:32,840
Here's the peg, into the dirt, gets off the club of Buckner, and Spire is going to reach.
2016
02:28:32,840 --> 02:28:40,840
Yvonne circling in until his right, threw that ball into the dirt, and he is charged with a throwing error,
2017
02:28:40,840 --> 02:28:45,840
permitting Spire to reach.
2018
02:28:45,840 --> 02:28:52,840
That's the tying run at first base, and Dale Unser, who had been in the batter's box or in the on-deck circles,
2019
02:28:52,840 --> 02:29:03,840
now, pulled back and Twitchell will be sent up there in a sacrifice situation.
2020
02:29:03,840 --> 02:29:15,840
Under the forfeit rule, all the players' records stand in that ball game tonight between Baltimore and Toronto.
2021
02:29:15,840 --> 02:29:24,840
It's the third cup error of the night, by the way. Here's the pitch. Twitchell pulls the bat back from a ball inside.
2022
02:29:24,840 --> 02:29:29,840
He walked leading off the fifth inning and then was rubbed out on the double play ball.
2023
02:29:29,840 --> 02:29:36,840
Now, rookie Mike Gordon, first baseman, Buckner out there to talk to Buck at the bottom.
2024
02:29:36,840 --> 02:29:39,840
We don't need any mistakes tonight.
2025
02:29:39,840 --> 02:29:46,840
He just committed one last night that was very costly, proved to be the tying run in the ball game, and eventually sent it into overtime,
2026
02:29:46,840 --> 02:29:49,840
and Montreal pulled it out in 12 innings.
2027
02:29:49,840 --> 02:29:54,840
Buckner charges up the line, and this time, Twitchell swings at the pitch and he misses.
2028
02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:57,840
Oh, one strike one.
2029
02:29:57,840 --> 02:30:10,840
The Pirates, the winner at St. Louis, in their first game tonight, 4-3. Candleria over Erie Craspenson.
2030
02:30:10,840 --> 02:30:18,840
Wayne Twitchell, count of one-on-one on him. He's going to bunt, and he pulls the bat back and bottom, misses outside.
2031
02:30:18,840 --> 02:30:21,840
Ball two, strike one on him.
2032
02:30:21,840 --> 02:30:25,840
Buckner coming over to talk to him.
2033
02:30:25,840 --> 02:30:36,840
Reggie Jackson's 27th homer of the year in the fourth inning tonight tied up the Boston Yankee game at the end of five, one-to-one.
2034
02:30:36,840 --> 02:30:41,840
Texas leading California, five-to-one at Texas in the bottom of the third.
2035
02:30:41,840 --> 02:30:44,840
Throw to first to keep the runner close.
2036
02:30:44,840 --> 02:30:48,840
And Oakland leading Kansas City. Here's the pitch.
2037
02:30:48,840 --> 02:30:53,840
Twitchell pushes him up on the air, bottom, barehand pick up, world's throws to DeJesus,
2038
02:30:53,840 --> 02:30:58,840
has to return to second to step on the bag, and there's no chance to get Twitchell.
2039
02:30:58,840 --> 02:31:05,840
There's a weird one as Spire apparently thought that ball was going to be caught in the air, and he was heading back to first base.
2040
02:31:05,840 --> 02:31:07,840
I thought, Lou, we had a good shot at a double play there.
2041
02:31:07,840 --> 02:31:13,840
Yes, it could have been a double play. He had bottom thrown perfectly to DeJesus, but it pulled him off the bag.
2042
02:31:13,840 --> 02:31:21,840
I was glad to see DeJesus be sure of that lead man. He went back and touched second base.
2043
02:31:21,840 --> 02:31:25,840
Dote the fielder's choice for Wayne Twitchell.
2044
02:31:25,840 --> 02:31:28,840
And there's one out with Davy Cash, the hitter.
2045
02:31:28,840 --> 02:31:37,840
He's reached in an air, a single, and he's hit into a double play tonight.
2046
02:31:37,840 --> 02:31:44,840
Right-handed hitter and a tough one.
2047
02:31:44,840 --> 02:31:50,840
Bottom over the top of the curve, and it caught the outside corner for a strike.
2048
02:31:50,840 --> 02:31:54,840
And it's Oakland 5, Kansas City 3, in their first game.
2049
02:31:54,840 --> 02:32:02,840
It's in the bottom of the seventh inning at KC, and Vita Blue has gone the distance so far.
2050
02:32:02,840 --> 02:32:12,840
Bottom-six curve, low, all-one strike point.
2051
02:32:12,840 --> 02:32:16,840
Dennis Lamp standing out at the Cub Bowl pen is ready if needed.
2052
02:32:16,840 --> 02:32:21,840
Bottom has been the tough customer here so far tonight. We're in the bottom of the seventh.
2053
02:32:21,840 --> 02:32:28,840
1-1 delivery. Swung out, a drive. Mercer going back into his right. Bobby is there, reaches up, he hauls it in.
2054
02:32:28,840 --> 02:32:32,840
And Twitchell drives on back to first base. They're two gone.
2055
02:32:32,840 --> 02:32:38,840
The high deep drive to right off the bat of Davy Cash. That brings up the rookie, Stan Pappy.
2056
02:32:38,840 --> 02:32:43,840
Single, got credit for his stolen base in the first inning and scored a run.
2057
02:32:43,840 --> 02:32:48,840
Came in eventually, and Ellis Valentine's double.
2058
02:32:48,840 --> 02:32:55,840
And he lined out to Morales, who plays him to swing late, Jerry over in the right center field for him.
2059
02:32:55,840 --> 02:33:02,840
That was in the third inning, and then in the fifth inning, he flied out to Mercer, who guards the right field line against him.
2060
02:33:02,840 --> 02:33:07,840
Cardinal moving several more steps off the left field line.
2061
02:33:07,840 --> 02:33:11,840
First pitch to him, and he takes the curve that's outside of the knees, ball one.
2062
02:33:11,840 --> 02:33:16,840
Two gone.
2063
02:33:16,840 --> 02:33:21,840
Mike Gordon, the kept catcher tonight, has to know Stan Pappy pretty well.
2064
02:33:21,840 --> 02:33:25,840
Both were in the minors this year. There's the swing and a liner, caught by Steve Montemarie.
2065
02:33:25,840 --> 02:33:32,840
Some beautiful catch. He has just robbed this rookie of an extra base hit.
2066
02:33:32,840 --> 02:33:39,840
Absolutely fantastic reactions by Steve Montemarie on a bullet off the bat of Stan Pappy.
2067
02:33:39,840 --> 02:33:44,840
And the Montreal Expos are shut out in the seventh inning.
2068
02:33:44,840 --> 02:33:53,840
No runs, no hits. One error, more than made up for by that great, great catch by Steve Montemarie's one man left on.
2069
02:33:53,840 --> 02:33:57,840
And at the end of seven, the Cubs are still leading four to three.
2070
02:33:57,840 --> 02:34:07,840
Okay, fans, don't forget it. Fiat prices start at just $29.98 and deliver 35 miles per gallon, highway, 23-city EPA-rated mileage.
2071
02:34:07,840 --> 02:34:09,840
May vary, but let me tell you...
2072
02:34:09,840 --> 02:34:13,840
Ah, come on, Alou, hold on. That's the place where Fireside Chrysler Plymouth Mazda commercials.
2073
02:34:13,840 --> 02:34:18,840
Well, so it is, Vince. Fireside Chrysler Plymouth Mazda now sells the entire Fiat line, too.
2074
02:34:18,840 --> 02:34:22,840
By golly, sounds like Fireside's trying to please today's economy-conscious young people.
2075
02:34:22,840 --> 02:34:28,840
You're so right, Vince. The young folks are looking for cars that are easy to buy, easy to own, real mileage machines.
2076
02:34:28,840 --> 02:34:29,840
And let me tell you...
2077
02:34:29,840 --> 02:34:30,840
And that's where the Fiat's come in.
2078
02:34:30,840 --> 02:34:37,840
Come in and see them, friends. 128 sedans and wagons, little sports fighters, X-19 sport cars.
2079
02:34:37,840 --> 02:34:44,840
They've got them all at Fireside Chrysler Plymouth on Gulf Road, just west of the Woodfield Shopping Center in Chambord.
2080
02:34:44,840 --> 02:34:46,840
All right, Alou, say it.
2081
02:34:46,840 --> 02:34:47,840
Say what?
2082
02:34:47,840 --> 02:34:53,840
Fireside's full name. Without thinking a breath. Fireside Chrysler Plymouth Mazda Fiat Lancia.
2083
02:34:53,840 --> 02:34:54,840
Hooray!
2084
02:34:54,840 --> 02:34:55,840
I did it?
2085
02:34:55,840 --> 02:34:56,840
You did it.
2086
02:34:56,840 --> 02:35:00,840
Oh, how about that?
2087
02:35:08,840 --> 02:35:14,840
Wayne Quetzal's still in the ballgame. He gave up a home run to the leadoff man for the Cubs in the sixth inning.
2088
02:35:14,840 --> 02:35:20,840
Let's see if history can repeat because that leadoff man here in the eighth is Jerry Morales.
2089
02:35:20,840 --> 02:35:31,840
He got his 11th home run of the year on his last one on August the 26th out of San Francisco, came off Jim Barr,
2090
02:35:31,840 --> 02:35:37,840
and accounted for his last run batted in until here tonight.
2091
02:35:37,840 --> 02:35:41,840
Quetzal finishes his warm-up classes.
2092
02:35:41,840 --> 02:35:57,840
Brought us to be followed by Bobby Mercer and Steve Hanovera.
2093
02:35:57,840 --> 02:36:03,840
Time for those magic numbers to be talked about now.
2094
02:36:03,840 --> 02:36:06,840
And it's getting powerlessly near the end.
2095
02:36:06,840 --> 02:36:14,840
The 1977 season for the Cubs to win a championship, their magic numbers starting tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies is four.
2096
02:36:14,840 --> 02:36:23,840
Any combination of four cup defeats or Philadelphia victories in the Phillies will have eliminated the Cubs mathematically.
2097
02:36:23,840 --> 02:36:28,840
First pitch and Jerry takes the ball into close.
2098
02:36:28,840 --> 02:36:38,840
Against the Pirates, magic number 10, combination of 10 pirate losses, Philadelphia defeat, or victories rather,
2099
02:36:38,840 --> 02:36:42,840
would eliminate Pittsburgh, their nearest competitor.
2100
02:36:42,840 --> 02:36:49,840
Cardinals' number is the same as the Cubs starting tonight, but it is now down to three for St. Louis.
2101
02:36:49,840 --> 02:36:56,840
There's the ball, ball two, no strikes. Bobby Mercer the hitter.
2102
02:36:56,840 --> 02:36:59,840
2-0 pitch.
2103
02:36:59,840 --> 02:37:05,840
Twichell gets a strike call right at the knees on the outside corner, ball two, strike one.
2104
02:37:05,840 --> 02:37:13,840
For the White Sox, the magic number going into tonight's action is 10.
2105
02:37:13,840 --> 02:37:17,840
There's a swing and a tap on the first base side of the mound picked up by Twichell.
2106
02:37:17,840 --> 02:37:19,840
Big lot of tosses over to first base.
2107
02:37:19,840 --> 02:37:29,840
He looks so uncoordinated, hard to believe that he was a very fine basketball player and a pitcher in the major leagues, but he gets the job done.
2108
02:37:29,840 --> 02:37:34,840
You'd think sometimes he's going to trip over his own feet out there.
2109
02:37:34,840 --> 02:37:37,840
Bobby Mercer 0-3 tonight.
2110
02:37:37,840 --> 02:37:45,840
1-7 in the series stepping into the batter's box.
2111
02:37:45,840 --> 02:37:49,840
Twichell winds the right-hander's pitch, strike call.
2112
02:37:49,840 --> 02:37:55,840
Took a little bit off of that one.
2113
02:37:55,840 --> 02:37:59,840
Baltimore has no more games remaining to play with the Yankees this year.
2114
02:37:59,840 --> 02:38:04,840
There's a bunt the temp by Bobby and he fouls that one back to the screen.
2115
02:38:04,840 --> 02:38:06,840
Somebody getting on it from the dugout and he said, well, what am I going to do?
2116
02:38:06,840 --> 02:38:08,840
He said, I'm going to get a hit.
2117
02:38:08,840 --> 02:38:10,840
Might as well try to reach for the bunt single.
2118
02:38:10,840 --> 02:38:16,840
Nothing or two to count on him.
2119
02:38:16,840 --> 02:38:20,840
Red Sox have three left with Baltimore.
2120
02:38:20,840 --> 02:38:25,840
The Yankees and Boston have two left to play at Fenway Park this year.
2121
02:38:25,840 --> 02:38:35,840
Playing their last one against one another at Yankee Stadium tonight and it's tied in the sixth inning 1-1.
2122
02:38:35,840 --> 02:38:38,840
Baltimore has no more cracks at the Yankees.
2123
02:38:38,840 --> 02:38:45,840
They have to play Boston six times, three at home and three at Fenway Park.
2124
02:38:45,840 --> 02:38:47,840
Twichell delivers that one outside.
2125
02:38:47,840 --> 02:38:48,840
He wasted it.
2126
02:38:48,840 --> 02:38:50,840
Ball one, strike two on Mercer with one out.
2127
02:38:50,840 --> 02:38:51,840
The bases are ripping.
2128
02:38:51,840 --> 02:38:54,840
The Cubs here in the eighth lead 4-3.
2129
02:38:54,840 --> 02:38:56,840
Twichell winds the big fellow's next pitch swung on.
2130
02:38:56,840 --> 02:39:00,840
Drive down the right field line, coming in forward to Santa Hears,
2131
02:39:00,840 --> 02:39:06,840
and he makes the catch in fair territory just out the area of the Montreal bullpen.
2132
02:39:06,840 --> 02:39:11,840
Little fella's got fast feet.
2133
02:39:11,840 --> 02:39:16,840
Mercer retired and a rather nice play.
2134
02:39:16,840 --> 02:39:20,840
That'll bring up Steve on the various whose walk twice tonight and scored a run.
2135
02:39:20,840 --> 02:39:27,840
Especially Steve is 0-1.
2136
02:39:27,840 --> 02:39:33,840
Royals going into tonight's action have 11 games left to play at home and eight on the road.
2137
02:39:33,840 --> 02:39:39,840
They're getting two of those 11 underway tonight, and they're losing the first one to the Oakland A's.
2138
02:39:39,840 --> 02:39:48,840
So after tonight, Kansas City will have nine at home and eight on the road.
2139
02:39:48,840 --> 02:39:51,840
There's a curve and a swing and a miss.
2140
02:39:51,840 --> 02:39:52,840
Nothing at two.
2141
02:39:52,840 --> 02:39:59,840
I'm sure your foul ball won't be bad.
2142
02:39:59,840 --> 02:40:04,840
Stocks playing tonight, have 10 more to play at home this year and six on the road,
2143
02:40:04,840 --> 02:40:06,840
two of them up at Minnesota.
2144
02:40:06,840 --> 02:40:09,840
But they have none to play with Kansas City.
2145
02:40:09,840 --> 02:40:15,840
There's a swing and a miss, as Steve went after a pitch down around his knees on the inside corner.
2146
02:40:15,840 --> 02:40:22,840
But Twichell has just brung up his sixth strike out of the night.
2147
02:40:22,840 --> 02:40:25,840
And the Cubs in the top of the eighth inning go down 1-2-3.
2148
02:40:25,840 --> 02:40:29,840
Montreal coming to bat against Bill Bonham, who's sprinting out to the mound.
2149
02:40:29,840 --> 02:40:32,840
Cubs leading 4-3.
2150
02:40:32,840 --> 02:40:33,840
This is Carl Malden.
2151
02:40:33,840 --> 02:40:34,840
Think about this.
2152
02:40:34,840 --> 02:40:37,840
You save all year to take your family on vacation,
2153
02:40:37,840 --> 02:40:42,840
but unless you're carrying American Express Travelers Checks, everybody could lose their vacation.
2154
02:40:42,840 --> 02:40:47,840
Now, other Travelers Checks may look the same, but at their loss to stolen, they all don't work the same.
2155
02:40:47,840 --> 02:40:53,840
Remember, American Express Travelers Checks can give you an emergency refund 24 hours a day,
2156
02:40:53,840 --> 02:40:56,840
seven days a week, all across America.
2157
02:40:56,840 --> 02:40:59,840
Try getting that with cash or just about any other Travelers Check.
2158
02:40:59,840 --> 02:41:02,840
Insist on American Express Travelers Checks.
2159
02:41:02,840 --> 02:41:04,840
Don't leave home without them.
2160
02:41:04,840 --> 02:41:05,840
Terrific movie.
2161
02:41:05,840 --> 02:41:06,840
Oh, wow.
2162
02:41:06,840 --> 02:41:07,840
Let's all go get a sundae.
2163
02:41:07,840 --> 02:41:08,840
Oh, great.
2164
02:41:08,840 --> 02:41:10,840
We could go to McDonald's.
2165
02:41:10,840 --> 02:41:11,840
McDonald's?
2166
02:41:11,840 --> 02:41:12,840
McDonald's.
2167
02:41:12,840 --> 02:41:14,840
You're the one.
2168
02:41:14,840 --> 02:41:16,840
Come try our brand new sundae.
2169
02:41:16,840 --> 02:41:18,840
Do they have hot caramel sundaes?
2170
02:41:18,840 --> 02:41:19,840
Hot caramel, hot fudge.
2171
02:41:19,840 --> 02:41:20,840
They got pineapple.
2172
02:41:20,840 --> 02:41:21,840
You got me.
2173
02:41:21,840 --> 02:41:22,840
Pineapple.
2174
02:41:22,840 --> 02:41:23,840
They got strawberry.
2175
02:41:23,840 --> 02:41:24,840
They got strawberry.
2176
02:41:24,840 --> 02:41:25,840
What are we waiting for?
2177
02:41:25,840 --> 02:41:26,840
At the bus.
2178
02:41:26,840 --> 02:41:27,840
At McDonald's.
2179
02:41:27,840 --> 02:41:28,840
Come on.
2180
02:41:28,840 --> 02:41:29,840
Taxi.
2181
02:41:29,840 --> 02:41:30,840
Taxi.
2182
02:41:30,840 --> 02:41:31,840
We do it all for you.
2183
02:41:31,840 --> 02:41:32,840
McDonald's sundae.
2184
02:41:32,840 --> 02:41:39,840
We do it all for you.
2185
02:41:39,840 --> 02:41:48,840
Andre Dawson, Tony Perez, Sam Bahias, 3, 4, and 5 then, in thick, wet, and batting order,
2186
02:41:48,840 --> 02:41:54,160
are scheduled to face Bill Bonham here in the bottom of the eighth inning as he is looking
2187
02:41:54,160 --> 02:41:56,840
for his first victory since the 6th of August.
2188
02:41:56,840 --> 02:41:59,840
And here it is, the 14th of September.
2189
02:41:59,840 --> 02:42:02,840
That's when he beats San Diego.
2190
02:42:02,840 --> 02:42:03,840
August the 6th.
2191
02:42:03,840 --> 02:42:06,840
He got his 10th win of the year.
2192
02:42:06,840 --> 02:42:10,840
It's a good ball against the Mets in his last outing Saturday at Wrigley Field.
2193
02:42:10,840 --> 02:42:13,840
Here's the swing and a high-fly ball.
2194
02:42:13,840 --> 02:42:14,840
Morales started back.
2195
02:42:14,840 --> 02:42:15,840
Now he's running in hard.
2196
02:42:15,840 --> 02:42:21,840
And he finally catches up with that ball and makes a belt buckle catch.
2197
02:42:21,840 --> 02:42:25,840
Did not get a good jump on the ball, but he used those little legs of his to come in just
2198
02:42:25,840 --> 02:42:27,840
as hard as he possibly could to make the catch.
2199
02:42:27,840 --> 02:42:28,840
And Dawson is out of there.
2200
02:42:28,840 --> 02:42:37,840
That'll bring up Tony Perez, who is 0 for 3 tonight.
2201
02:42:37,840 --> 02:42:43,840
In the very first start this season for Bill at Philadelphia, he went all the way and got
2202
02:42:43,840 --> 02:42:44,840
the victory.
2203
02:42:44,840 --> 02:42:47,840
Now this is his 31st start of the year.
2204
02:42:47,840 --> 02:42:52,840
There's a swing and a bouncing foul past Aussie Virgil, the third-base coach.
2205
02:42:52,840 --> 02:42:55,840
And Bill is still looking for another complete gain.
2206
02:42:55,840 --> 02:43:03,840
Maybe, maybe he'll get it tonight.
2207
02:43:03,840 --> 02:43:06,840
He has not exactly been given a big cushion.
2208
02:43:06,840 --> 02:43:08,840
Score of 4 to 3.
2209
02:43:08,840 --> 02:43:09,840
He's allowed 6 hits.
2210
02:43:09,840 --> 02:43:11,840
The Cubs have a total of 5.
2211
02:43:11,840 --> 02:43:19,840
They've fastball taken first strike over the outside corner, nothing in 2.
2212
02:43:19,840 --> 02:43:22,840
When he left against the Mets on Saturday, he had a 2-1 lead.
2213
02:43:22,840 --> 02:43:26,840
When the ball game was over, the Mets won it 7-2.
2214
02:43:26,840 --> 02:43:29,840
Kerrball outside, ball one, strike two.
2215
02:43:29,840 --> 02:43:32,840
Galloway into Jesus.
2216
02:43:32,840 --> 02:43:34,840
Shading towards the outside corner of the infield.
2217
02:43:34,840 --> 02:43:37,840
Here's a swing and a ground ball, back of third.
2218
02:43:37,840 --> 02:43:41,840
Ferris has it, throws, and he is safe at first base.
2219
02:43:41,840 --> 02:43:48,840
The Flyers rule out a fair ball.
2220
02:43:48,840 --> 02:43:57,840
Let me tell you, that had to be just fair by inches, very, very deep at third base.
2221
02:43:57,840 --> 02:44:04,840
Effie Frias is going to run for Perez at first base.
2222
02:44:04,840 --> 02:44:08,840
He's a fellow with any speed at all that would not have even been close at first base.
2223
02:44:08,840 --> 02:44:14,840
It was very, very deep at third and had to be hugging the chalk line.
2224
02:44:14,840 --> 02:44:18,840
It's an infield hit, and he represents a tying run at first base.
2225
02:44:18,840 --> 02:44:21,840
Effie Frias.
2226
02:44:21,840 --> 02:44:26,840
Dale Unser is now going to bat for Sam Mejias, who had come in to run for Valentine.
2227
02:44:26,840 --> 02:44:29,840
The night ending Valentine nursing a sore ankle,
2228
02:44:29,840 --> 02:44:32,840
and Unser, left-hander, now pinch-hitting with one out.
2229
02:44:32,840 --> 02:44:35,840
Dale takes in the first pitch, to him is a ball, too low.
2230
02:44:35,840 --> 02:44:38,840
June 4th of 74, the Indians forfeit.
2231
02:44:38,840 --> 02:44:41,840
This is WGN Radio, Chicago.
2232
02:44:41,840 --> 02:44:45,840
Oh, I remember this one, yeah, I remember Lou when they had that promotion, now yes.
2233
02:44:45,840 --> 02:44:51,840
And the fans over there just became absolutely unruly and out of complete control,
2234
02:44:51,840 --> 02:44:53,840
and Cleveland had to forfeit the ballgame.
2235
02:44:53,840 --> 02:44:58,840
Oh, they drive it to left field, Jose is there, Cardinal comes in a couple of steps.
2236
02:44:58,840 --> 02:45:00,840
Makes the one-headed catch, Unser is retired, two-gone.
2237
02:45:00,840 --> 02:45:04,840
Runner at first base, four to three scorecubs.
2238
02:45:04,840 --> 02:45:10,840
Gary Carter stepping in.
2239
02:45:10,840 --> 02:45:17,840
This is a pretty much different situation.
2240
02:45:17,840 --> 02:45:23,840
The manager, Earl Weaver in this case, of Baltimore tonight, got so upset.
2241
02:45:23,840 --> 02:45:26,840
He had his pitchers warming up in the bullpen.
2242
02:45:26,840 --> 02:45:31,840
There was nobody warming up in the Baltimore bullpen, and there was a copeland covering their bullpen,
2243
02:45:31,840 --> 02:45:35,840
and he wanted that removed because it was raining like this.
2244
02:45:35,840 --> 02:45:40,840
And it wouldn't do it, he argued and argued, and finally the umpires, that's it.
2245
02:45:40,840 --> 02:45:44,840
Larry Barnett, crew chief there and a good veteran umpires.
2246
02:45:44,840 --> 02:45:48,840
And I'm sure that he had warned him several times that if you don't cease and desist,
2247
02:45:48,840 --> 02:45:52,840
you're going to lose this on a forfeit, and that's what happened.
2248
02:45:52,840 --> 02:45:57,840
Orioles had won seven in a row and ten out of their last eleven.
2249
02:45:57,840 --> 02:46:00,840
Tonight it's a forfeit.
2250
02:46:00,840 --> 02:46:04,840
It moved into second place last night.
2251
02:46:04,840 --> 02:46:07,840
Now a 1-0 delivery.
2252
02:46:07,840 --> 02:46:09,840
He takes a strike right at the knees.
2253
02:46:09,840 --> 02:46:11,840
We've got a pause a moment for station identification.
2254
02:46:11,840 --> 02:46:14,840
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.
2255
02:46:14,840 --> 02:46:22,840
This is WGN Radio Chicago.
2256
02:46:22,840 --> 02:46:26,840
Kyler, a home run, a single tonight in three trips to the plate.
2257
02:46:26,840 --> 02:46:31,840
Right-hander, after walloping that home run in the fourth, his 26th of the year,
2258
02:46:31,840 --> 02:46:34,840
stood plants fixed in the batter's box.
2259
02:46:34,840 --> 02:46:37,840
First base side of it, watching it disappear out of sight.
2260
02:46:37,840 --> 02:46:40,840
There's a curve to him and he takes it low.
2261
02:46:40,840 --> 02:46:44,840
Ball two, strike one.
2262
02:46:44,840 --> 02:46:47,840
He might have thought for just a moment that he had pulled it too much.
2263
02:46:47,840 --> 02:46:49,840
Maybe it might go foul.
2264
02:46:49,840 --> 02:46:54,840
From here it looked like he was just standing in sheer admiration.
2265
02:46:54,840 --> 02:46:55,840
Two out, a runner at first.
2266
02:46:55,840 --> 02:46:57,840
Four to three score Cubs.
2267
02:46:57,840 --> 02:47:01,840
And a count of ball two, strike one on Cotter, a right-hander.
2268
02:47:01,840 --> 02:47:05,840
Bottom in the stretch, steps up the pitching rubber to check that runner again.
2269
02:47:05,840 --> 02:47:08,840
Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau, Jack Minovich, our producer,
2270
02:47:08,840 --> 02:47:10,840
and Johnny Stubbs, our engineer.
2271
02:47:10,840 --> 02:47:12,840
Last game of the year between these two teams.
2272
02:47:12,840 --> 02:47:14,840
There's a swing and a drive at the right center field.
2273
02:47:14,840 --> 02:47:15,840
That's trouble.
2274
02:47:15,840 --> 02:47:17,840
There goes the run around, second on his way to third.
2275
02:47:17,840 --> 02:47:18,840
Ball bounces off the wall.
2276
02:47:18,840 --> 02:47:20,840
Here comes that tying run around third.
2277
02:47:20,840 --> 02:47:22,840
Here is the throw.
2278
02:47:22,840 --> 02:47:25,840
And it finally winds up in the hands of DeJesus.
2279
02:47:25,840 --> 02:47:28,840
The ball game is tied.
2280
02:47:28,840 --> 02:47:33,840
Cotter with a double in the right center field.
2281
02:47:33,840 --> 02:47:37,840
Seemed to be a little like that throw came in over the cutoff.
2282
02:47:37,840 --> 02:47:41,840
Missed the cutoff vanitally, but I don't think we would have been able to throw
2283
02:47:41,840 --> 02:47:43,840
the pinch runner out pre-hots.
2284
02:47:43,840 --> 02:47:50,840
He was running around third when I noticed the ball was thrown over Kelliher's head.
2285
02:47:50,840 --> 02:47:53,840
That Carter has been murder against Cotter.
2286
02:47:53,840 --> 02:47:56,840
He sure has.
2287
02:47:56,840 --> 02:48:00,840
The only time he got it tonight was in the first inning when he flied out to Mercer,
2288
02:48:00,840 --> 02:48:03,840
who right now is standing way back against the wall,
2289
02:48:03,840 --> 02:48:10,840
shoulders against it, thinking, what in the world do we have to do to win a ball game?
2290
02:48:10,840 --> 02:48:16,840
Now Morales is going over to talk to Cardinal.
2291
02:48:16,840 --> 02:48:21,840
Well, Herman Franks is going out to make a couple of changes in the batting order.
2292
02:48:21,840 --> 02:48:24,840
And one of them, of course, is going to be the pitcher.
2293
02:48:24,840 --> 02:48:36,840
In addition to bringing in Bruce Sutter, Herman has brought in Greg Gross to play right field,
2294
02:48:36,840 --> 02:48:39,840
replacing Bobby Mercer.
2295
02:48:39,840 --> 02:48:46,840
So Sutter will hit in Mercer's spot, the number five spot of the batting order.
2296
02:48:46,840 --> 02:48:49,840
And Gross will hit in the number nine spot,
2297
02:48:49,840 --> 02:48:54,840
and he is going to be the third man up in the top of the ninth inning.
2298
02:48:54,840 --> 02:48:57,840
Now with the man at second base.
2299
02:48:57,840 --> 02:49:03,840
The left-handed hitter, Warren Cromarty, in there.
2300
02:49:03,840 --> 02:49:07,840
Sutter to second base on an appeal.
2301
02:49:07,840 --> 02:49:11,840
Maybe that runner had missed on his way from first to third.
2302
02:49:11,840 --> 02:49:14,840
I didn't think he had. That's where I saw him.
2303
02:49:14,840 --> 02:49:17,840
Here's where DeJesus has taken the appeal.
2304
02:49:17,840 --> 02:49:19,840
The umpire's not going to give it to Kelliher.
2305
02:49:19,840 --> 02:49:25,840
Kelliher was out in right center, so he can tell Kelliher, you didn't see the play.
2306
02:49:25,840 --> 02:49:28,840
He was out in right field for the relay.
2307
02:49:28,840 --> 02:49:33,840
Here's the pitch to Cromarty, and he swings and misses on a good forkball.
2308
02:49:33,840 --> 02:49:41,840
I was positive I saw him step on second, but I wasn't too sure about third.
2309
02:49:41,840 --> 02:49:43,840
But he was flying all the way.
2310
02:49:43,840 --> 02:49:47,840
Game is tied at four feet.
2311
02:49:47,840 --> 02:50:00,840
Cromarty checks his swing, takes the ball, low it inside, ball one, strike one on him.
2312
02:50:00,840 --> 02:50:03,840
Sutter's stretch. Here's a swing and a miss.
2313
02:50:03,840 --> 02:50:07,840
Same spot, low and inside, swung on a miss for strike two.
2314
02:50:07,840 --> 02:50:12,840
Bottom of the ninth cannot pick up a victory.
2315
02:50:12,840 --> 02:50:15,840
He could only be charged with a loss.
2316
02:50:15,840 --> 02:50:19,840
And he left the weight a while longer before posting his 11th win of the year.
2317
02:50:19,840 --> 02:50:22,840
Sutter's pitch, very slow and inside.
2318
02:50:22,840 --> 02:50:24,840
Cromarty won't go after it. It's two and two with two off.
2319
02:50:24,840 --> 02:50:32,840
Runner at second base, score tied, four to four, bottom of the eighth inning at Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
2320
02:50:32,840 --> 02:50:37,840
And an infield single by Perez. Here's a swing and a check swing.
2321
02:50:37,840 --> 02:50:40,840
The pitch and a check swing, rather.
2322
02:50:40,840 --> 02:50:45,840
And Cromarty, they say, held up in time for three strike two.
2323
02:50:45,840 --> 02:50:52,840
Infield single by Perez on a ball that was barely, barely foul deep at third.
2324
02:50:52,840 --> 02:50:58,840
And then with two out, Carter got his third straight hit, a double, driving in the tying run.
2325
02:50:58,840 --> 02:51:02,840
Two out, three-two pitch. Cromarty swings, pulls the ground ball.
2326
02:51:02,840 --> 02:51:05,840
Kelleher is there, picks it up, passes to Buckner.
2327
02:51:05,840 --> 02:51:09,840
In time for the out, he was shading him way over to the right side of the infield by Kevin.
2328
02:51:09,840 --> 02:51:15,840
And Sutter retires the side, but they tie the game with a run, two hits, one man left on.
2329
02:51:15,840 --> 02:51:22,840
And at the end of eighth, Cubs coming to bat. Montreal four, the Cubs four.
2330
02:51:22,840 --> 02:51:28,840
Have you ever heard a pinging sound when you've accelerated on expressways or carried a heavy load?
2331
02:51:28,840 --> 02:51:32,840
That's called knocking, and it's caused by uneven combustion.
2332
02:51:32,840 --> 02:51:38,840
When you hear a noise like this, it's a sign your car may need higher octane to run the way it should.
2333
02:51:38,840 --> 02:51:45,840
Now Standard introduces new Amaco Premium Lead Free, the higher octane lead free gasoline
2334
02:51:45,840 --> 02:51:49,840
with higher octane than typical unleaded gasoline.
2335
02:51:49,840 --> 02:51:52,840
Higher octane than regular leaded gasolines, too.
2336
02:51:52,840 --> 02:51:55,840
Try a tank full. It could make a difference.
2337
02:51:55,840 --> 02:52:01,840
If you don't have the problem of engine knock, use Lead Free Amaco, the Midwest's best-selling lead free.
2338
02:52:01,840 --> 02:52:06,840
Since the lead free age began, Standard has been the lead free leader.
2339
02:52:06,840 --> 02:52:13,840
And now Standard offers you two lead free gasolines, new Amaco Premium Lead Free in the gold pump
2340
02:52:13,840 --> 02:52:16,840
and famous Lead Free Amaco in the blue pump.
2341
02:52:16,840 --> 02:52:21,840
You'll find this choice of lead free gasolines at your independent Standard oil dealer
2342
02:52:21,840 --> 02:52:24,840
because you expect more from a leader.
2343
02:52:24,840 --> 02:52:33,840
We have a new first baseman, Dale Launcher.
2344
02:52:33,840 --> 02:52:40,840
We have a new shortstop, Pepe Frias, and a new right fielder, the third one of the night, Jerry White.
2345
02:52:40,840 --> 02:52:45,840
Nick Callagher to lead off.
2346
02:52:45,840 --> 02:52:50,840
He's to be followed by the rookie catcher, Mike Gordon, then Greg Gross.
2347
02:52:50,840 --> 02:52:55,840
He's over the pitch, and he takes it high.
2348
02:52:55,840 --> 02:52:59,840
And if he could happen to pull one down that left fielder line, he could run all night
2349
02:52:59,840 --> 02:53:03,840
because Cromarty is almost in a line with first and second base.
2350
02:53:03,840 --> 02:53:06,840
That's how far off the left fielder line Cromarty is.
2351
02:53:06,840 --> 02:53:09,840
There's a ball a little bit low, two and 0 on it.
2352
02:53:09,840 --> 02:53:15,840
There's the strike ball right at the knees, ball to strike one.
2353
02:53:15,840 --> 02:53:20,840
They're not exactly pleased with Olson's call on that one.
2354
02:53:20,840 --> 02:53:24,840
The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, ooh, blant.
2355
02:53:24,840 --> 02:53:26,840
Boston hit them with six in the sixth.
2356
02:53:26,840 --> 02:53:28,840
No homers reported.
2357
02:53:28,840 --> 02:53:31,840
There's a swing and a foul back out of play.
2358
02:53:31,840 --> 02:53:36,840
So it does not appear as though the Yankees will ever lose sweep that series.
2359
02:53:36,840 --> 02:53:41,840
Red Sox with a 7-1 lead at the end of six innings of play.
2360
02:53:41,840 --> 02:53:47,840
The New York Yankees had their game forfeited through Toronto tonight.
2361
02:53:47,840 --> 02:53:55,840
2-2 pitch, takes the ball, low it outside, it's 3-2.
2362
02:53:55,840 --> 02:53:58,840
Boston hold on to win that one.
2363
02:53:58,840 --> 02:54:03,840
And if they don't, Don Zimmer may blow up Yankee Stadium.
2364
02:54:03,840 --> 02:54:06,840
There's a pitch that misses low, ball a four.
2365
02:54:06,840 --> 02:54:10,840
So McCutcher opens up the ninth inning by drawing a walk, a fledge hook.
2366
02:54:10,840 --> 02:54:13,840
That'll bring up rookie catcher Mike Gordon, which will stretch the pitch.
2367
02:54:13,840 --> 02:54:15,840
He's going to bunt, pops it up in the air.
2368
02:54:15,840 --> 02:54:19,840
Grabbed by the catcher, Carter, whirled, but he has no play at first base.
2369
02:54:19,840 --> 02:54:24,840
Cutter, very, very careful.
2370
02:54:24,840 --> 02:54:30,840
And Mike Gordon, unable to sacrifice, pops one up about seven or eight feet away from the plate
2371
02:54:30,840 --> 02:54:40,840
on the third-base side, grabbed in foul territory by Gary Carter.
2372
02:54:40,840 --> 02:54:45,840
Nick Williams is called time, going after them out, as Puchel seems to be having a lot of trouble
2373
02:54:45,840 --> 02:54:47,840
keeping the mud out of his spikes suddenly.
2374
02:54:47,840 --> 02:54:50,840
Will McAdony is going to come in.
2375
02:54:50,840 --> 02:54:55,840
It's an awfully good success, particularly against a couple left-handers in relief this year.
2376
02:54:55,840 --> 02:55:02,840
And Puchel is leaving in the ninth inning with the ballgame tied 4-4.
2377
02:55:02,840 --> 02:55:05,840
And he's getting a good round of applause from this crowd.
2378
02:55:05,840 --> 02:55:11,840
It's tonight's number, 7,369 pace.
2379
02:55:11,840 --> 02:55:21,840
They're really giving us a big guy.
2380
02:55:21,840 --> 02:55:26,840
Well, Gene Klienz is now going to be brought in to pinch it for Greg Grouse against the left-hander,
2381
02:55:26,840 --> 02:55:27,840
Will McAdony.
2382
02:55:27,840 --> 02:55:34,840
He and everybody else was veered in relief last night for Montreal.
2383
02:55:34,840 --> 02:55:40,840
Hound the Cubs like they were little babes.
2384
02:55:40,840 --> 02:55:43,840
Klienz hitting 2-99 for the year.
2385
02:55:43,840 --> 02:55:45,840
Three homers, 37 runs about it in.
2386
02:55:45,840 --> 02:55:49,840
The last game the Cubs won came on his pinch-hit homer.
2387
02:55:49,840 --> 02:55:53,840
And that was last Friday at Wrigley Field, shot in the ninth inning.
2388
02:55:53,840 --> 02:55:59,840
Since then the Cubs have wound up on the loss side five consecutive times.
2389
02:55:59,840 --> 02:56:03,840
When they were up here in Montreal in the latter part of June,
2390
02:56:03,840 --> 02:56:06,840
they had themselves a seven-game winning streak,
2391
02:56:06,840 --> 02:56:10,840
the sixth and seventh wins coming at the expense of this ball club.
2392
02:56:10,840 --> 02:56:15,840
And then Montreal threw a shutout at the Cubs to end that seven-game winning streak,
2393
02:56:15,840 --> 02:56:19,840
which is the Cubs' longest of the year.
2394
02:56:19,840 --> 02:56:23,840
And now the five-game losing streak is the longest endured by the Cubs so far,
2395
02:56:23,840 --> 02:56:26,840
and they're trying to end it here at Montreal tonight.
2396
02:56:26,840 --> 02:56:34,840
Klienz steps in and Gene takes McAdony's first pitch inside for a ball.
2397
02:56:34,840 --> 02:56:38,840
Montreal, for the last couple of months, has been playing good ball.
2398
02:56:38,840 --> 02:56:44,840
Not outstanding, but certainly a whole lot better than they did the first couple of months of the season.
2399
02:56:44,840 --> 02:56:46,840
There's a swing and a bouncing ball to the third baseman.
2400
02:56:46,840 --> 02:56:49,840
Pappy has it. The rookies pegged the first in time.
2401
02:56:49,840 --> 02:56:53,840
DeDeleon, sir. Pugon, a runner at second base.
2402
02:56:53,840 --> 02:57:00,840
And now it's up to Yvonne DeJesus to break the tie.
2403
02:57:00,840 --> 02:57:02,840
Klienz bouncing up the third.
2404
02:57:02,840 --> 02:57:09,840
Kavahar at second base.
2405
02:57:09,840 --> 02:57:12,840
Yvonne walked and scored in the first inning off Tweedle.
2406
02:57:12,840 --> 02:57:18,840
After that, he fouled out twice and struck out.
2407
02:57:18,840 --> 02:57:24,840
Kerrig in a big right-hander, throwing in to Montreal both in.
2408
02:57:24,840 --> 02:57:27,840
McAdony in the left deep is going to face DeJesus.
2409
02:57:27,840 --> 02:57:29,840
Goes into the stretch. Kavahar pretty good lead at second.
2410
02:57:29,840 --> 02:57:33,840
Here's the pitch. Swung out and a liner caught for the shortstop.
2411
02:57:33,840 --> 02:57:35,840
Hit it right to Pappy Frias.
2412
02:57:35,840 --> 02:57:40,840
And that retires a side in the ninth inning.
2413
02:57:40,840 --> 02:57:42,840
Line drive to short.
2414
02:57:42,840 --> 02:57:46,840
No runs, no hits. One man left on.
2415
02:57:46,840 --> 02:57:50,840
And the Montreal Expos come to bat in the bottom of the ninth inning
2416
02:57:50,840 --> 02:57:59,840
against Bruce Sitter, and it's all tied at four apiece.
2417
02:57:59,840 --> 02:58:07,840
When you brew a beer in God's country, you begin with sparkling pure Wisconsin spring water.
2418
02:58:07,840 --> 02:58:10,840
Water that flows deep beneath the ground.
2419
02:58:10,840 --> 02:58:17,840
Then you pure brew, double brew it in a traditional old world way called poisoning.
2420
02:58:17,840 --> 02:58:22,840
Coisening is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive.
2421
02:58:22,840 --> 02:58:26,840
Most expensive because it takes more time.
2422
02:58:26,840 --> 02:58:33,840
But Heilermann's Old Style is one American premium beer that is still fully, that's fully poisoned.
2423
02:58:33,840 --> 02:58:40,840
Naturally carbonated. Because at Old Style, we don't aim to make the most beer.
2424
02:58:40,840 --> 02:58:44,840
Only the best. Taste the difference Kroisening makes.
2425
02:58:44,840 --> 02:58:52,840
Try Old Style. Pure brewed in God's country.
2426
02:58:52,840 --> 02:58:57,840
G. Heilermann Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
2427
02:58:57,840 --> 02:59:05,840
Jane Klein stays in the game to play in right field.
2428
02:59:05,840 --> 02:59:09,840
Stepping into the batter's box for the first time tonight is Jerry White.
2429
02:59:09,840 --> 02:59:12,840
Came in to play right field.
2430
02:59:12,840 --> 02:59:18,840
In the top of the inning, a little left-hander.
2431
02:59:18,840 --> 02:59:21,840
Left post of this year down in the minors.
2432
02:59:21,840 --> 02:59:24,840
It's two for five since being brought up from Denver.
2433
02:59:24,840 --> 02:59:29,840
Sitter in the windup. Jerry White takes in. It's a strike.
2434
02:59:29,840 --> 02:59:31,840
Well, the Philadelphia Phillies.
2435
02:59:31,840 --> 02:59:38,840
One step nearer eliminating both the Cardinals and the Cubs and perhaps the Pirates tonight with a victory over the New York Mets.
2436
02:59:38,840 --> 02:59:41,840
Sitters next pitch is a ball too low.
2437
02:59:41,840 --> 02:59:47,840
Cardinals after losing their first game tonight in Philadelphia, defeating the Mets 8-2.
2438
02:59:47,840 --> 02:59:52,840
1-1 delivery. Swung on at a high foul. It's got to be out of play down the left field line.
2439
02:59:52,840 --> 02:59:56,840
Magic number now for the Cardinals is at 2.
2440
02:59:56,840 --> 03:00:02,840
And should the Cubs lose here tonight, it would be the same for the Cubs.
2441
03:00:02,840 --> 03:00:06,840
Pirates won their first game at St. Louis 4-3.
2442
03:00:06,840 --> 03:00:15,840
The Philadelphia victory reduces their magic number in eliminating the Pirates to 9.
2443
03:00:15,840 --> 03:00:20,840
There's a swing and he pulls the ground ball over the pitcher's mound. The Hays who's charging in throws. He can't get him.
2444
03:00:20,840 --> 03:00:23,840
That guy is awfully fast, let me tell you.
2445
03:00:23,840 --> 03:00:29,840
The Hays who's wound up almost on the dirt around first base.
2446
03:00:29,840 --> 03:00:32,840
Charging in for that tap over the mound.
2447
03:00:32,840 --> 03:00:37,840
Made a very fine play, but that Jerry White can fly down the line.
2448
03:00:37,840 --> 03:00:42,840
And he is on with an infield single.
2449
03:00:42,840 --> 03:00:46,840
And they tied up the ball game and the eighth inning was won out.
2450
03:00:46,840 --> 03:00:55,840
And Tony Perez reached for the ground ball back of third base that had to be just barely on the chalk.
2451
03:00:55,840 --> 03:00:57,840
And he managed to lay it out.
2452
03:00:57,840 --> 03:00:59,840
Despite a good play by Anabaris.
2453
03:00:59,840 --> 03:01:10,840
That led to the tying run of the ball game because with two men off, Gary Carter then doubled and brought in the pinch runner Pepe Frias.
2454
03:01:10,840 --> 03:01:15,840
Now we're in the ninth tied at 4-4.
2455
03:01:15,840 --> 03:01:28,840
Will McEnany came on to relieve.
2456
03:01:28,840 --> 03:01:43,840
And called by Dick Williams. He wants to talk to this man down there at first base.
2457
03:01:43,840 --> 03:01:49,840
Was it Jerry White, anything wrong with him or not after he went all the way down that line and came back?
2458
03:01:49,840 --> 03:01:50,840
Did anything really move?
2459
03:01:50,840 --> 03:01:54,840
No, not only one correction, now we get two corrections in a ball game.
2460
03:01:54,840 --> 03:02:00,840
That's important.
2461
03:02:00,840 --> 03:02:01,840
Getting late in the season.
2462
03:02:01,840 --> 03:02:02,840
It's Oakland sixth.
2463
03:02:02,840 --> 03:02:09,840
Now Kansas City instead of one comes up with three in the sixth inning, one in the seventh to tie that one up.
2464
03:02:09,840 --> 03:02:10,840
At the end of the seventh.
2465
03:02:10,840 --> 03:02:14,840
Well now they get all the way up to the eighth. It's a tie.
2466
03:02:14,840 --> 03:02:15,840
They tell me it's a tie now.
2467
03:02:15,840 --> 03:02:20,840
Oakland didn't score.
2468
03:02:20,840 --> 03:02:22,840
Three, six, nine, ten they got now.
2469
03:02:22,840 --> 03:02:27,840
Did they?
2470
03:02:27,840 --> 03:02:28,840
Exactly.
2471
03:02:28,840 --> 03:02:31,840
Oakland did not score in the top of the tenth yet.
2472
03:02:31,840 --> 03:02:34,840
Here's a bun of temp and it is foul.
2473
03:02:34,840 --> 03:02:38,840
On the first base side that's strike two count.
2474
03:02:38,840 --> 03:02:45,840
If we can believe this report, the A's are batting in the bottom of the tenth inning and the game is tied six to six with Oakland.
2475
03:02:45,840 --> 03:02:49,840
That's their first game.
2476
03:02:49,840 --> 03:02:55,840
Next correction coming up.
2477
03:02:55,840 --> 03:03:01,840
You can rely on this. The ball game here is tied four to four bottom of the ninth inning.
2478
03:03:01,840 --> 03:03:06,840
And the Expos, one last night and twelve of the winning run on it first.
2479
03:03:06,840 --> 03:03:12,840
On the various coming up the line back and then he tries to drop a bun and he fouls it back out of play.
2480
03:03:12,840 --> 03:03:16,840
He is not too good a bunner.
2481
03:03:16,840 --> 03:03:21,840
That is posted as a strikeout for Bruce Duder.
2482
03:03:21,840 --> 03:03:37,840
We move to the top of the batting order, Davy Cash to speedy Jerry White on it first base.
2483
03:03:37,840 --> 03:03:41,840
Cash against Bonham Singles leading off the first inning.
2484
03:03:41,840 --> 03:03:47,840
And he wound up scoring their first run of the night. They picked up two runs in that inning, one in the fourth and one in the eighth.
2485
03:03:47,840 --> 03:03:50,840
Throw to first and White back in time.
2486
03:03:50,840 --> 03:03:53,840
Cash at the moment a 288 hitter.
2487
03:03:53,840 --> 03:03:57,840
He's one for four officially this evening.
2488
03:03:57,840 --> 03:04:02,840
He'll wait for time here because he has to get that dirt to his locking in the batter's box.
2489
03:04:02,840 --> 03:04:06,840
Now the right-hander is ready and Sutter looks over it first.
2490
03:04:06,840 --> 03:04:09,840
Delivers and a strike call.
2491
03:04:09,840 --> 03:04:12,840
Breaking ball over the outside corner.
2492
03:04:12,840 --> 03:04:17,840
Jerry White by notice has kind of a nervous little habit over there when he takes that lead.
2493
03:04:17,840 --> 03:04:20,840
He puts his fingers on his left hand.
2494
03:04:20,840 --> 03:04:22,840
He was constantly shaking and this time he doesn't do it.
2495
03:04:22,840 --> 03:04:28,840
And he's driven back to first base with a throw by Bruce.
2496
03:04:28,840 --> 03:04:31,840
The Expos have beaten the Cubs six out of the last eight games.
2497
03:04:31,840 --> 03:04:34,840
These two teams have played against one another.
2498
03:04:34,840 --> 03:04:37,840
Here's the pitch. Cash takes it, the ball inside.
2499
03:04:37,840 --> 03:04:39,840
That levels the count at one and one.
2500
03:04:39,840 --> 03:04:44,840
The Wins are leading the White Sox tonight five to two.
2501
03:04:44,840 --> 03:04:45,840
Bottom of the fifth inning.
2502
03:04:45,840 --> 03:04:48,840
Boston looks like they're finally going to salvage a victory at Yankee Stadium.
2503
03:04:48,840 --> 03:04:50,840
They lead seven to one.
2504
03:04:50,840 --> 03:04:51,840
In the bottom of the seventh there goes the runner.
2505
03:04:51,840 --> 03:04:59,840
Cash swings and fouls it back.
2506
03:04:59,840 --> 03:05:01,840
Boy, that kid can fly, can he? Oh, yes.
2507
03:05:01,840 --> 03:05:02,840
Sutter into the stretch. Delivers.
2508
03:05:02,840 --> 03:05:05,840
Cash swings and misses it. A good fork ball.
2509
03:05:05,840 --> 03:05:07,840
That takes Garadavy.
2510
03:05:07,840 --> 03:05:09,840
Two gone.
2511
03:05:09,840 --> 03:05:12,840
Let's walk up here and fire the big spot.
2512
03:05:12,840 --> 03:05:15,840
Here's the rookie third baseman, Stan Pappy.
2513
03:05:15,840 --> 03:05:20,840
D-A-P-I.
2514
03:05:20,840 --> 03:05:25,840
Just up from Denver.
2515
03:05:25,840 --> 03:05:29,840
California Angels coming back at the end of four.
2516
03:05:29,840 --> 03:05:32,840
Down at Texas it's the Rangers five.
2517
03:05:32,840 --> 03:05:34,840
California three.
2518
03:05:34,840 --> 03:05:36,840
That's at the end of four.
2519
03:05:36,840 --> 03:05:37,840
Here's the pitch.
2520
03:05:37,840 --> 03:05:40,840
Too high, the runner goes. A throw by Gordon Hyde.
2521
03:05:40,840 --> 03:05:43,840
Off the glove of Kelleher, backed up by DeJesus.
2522
03:05:43,840 --> 03:05:51,840
And it's a stolen base.
2523
03:05:51,840 --> 03:05:55,840
Taking a rifle to nail him.
2524
03:05:55,840 --> 03:06:01,840
He went flying into second.
2525
03:06:01,840 --> 03:06:08,840
To the Expos with the potential winning run in scoring position with two off.
2526
03:06:08,840 --> 03:06:12,840
Sutter now working on a count of one and all on the rookie.
2527
03:06:12,840 --> 03:06:14,840
Delivers and he misses inside.
2528
03:06:14,840 --> 03:06:21,840
Ball two.
2529
03:06:21,840 --> 03:06:26,840
Swung out, ground ball, fast pitchers found, and Montreal, like those, are going to win it.
2530
03:06:26,840 --> 03:06:31,840
Rallis flips the ball up, doesn't even try to make a throw as rookie Jerry White
2531
03:06:31,840 --> 03:06:35,840
comes streaking in from second base with the winning run.
2532
03:06:35,840 --> 03:06:39,840
He hits that ball just to the third base side of the mound.
2533
03:06:39,840 --> 03:06:42,840
DeJesus plow over into the hole.
2534
03:06:42,840 --> 03:06:45,840
Had no chance in the world to get to it.
2535
03:06:45,840 --> 03:06:47,840
Once it got by the mound, forget it.
2536
03:06:47,840 --> 03:06:55,840
Stan Clapping is the hitting hero for this ball club tonight as the Montreal Expos
2537
03:06:55,840 --> 03:07:11,840
extend the Cubs losing streak to six straight games.
