00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates faced the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field for a Friday afternoon game on May 27, 1977,

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
in which both teams were entering the game in an early season fight for first place in the NL East.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
The Pirates were managed by Chuck Tanner in his first season as manager after replacing Danny Murtaugh.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The Pirates made it to the NLCS in 1974 and 75, but finished in second place behind the Phillies in 1976.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
In this game they were sending John Candelaria to the mound, who was off to a hot start with a 6-0 record

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
and a 1.63 ERA, which included four starts in which he didn't give up and earn run.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The Chicago Cubs were looking to finish above 500 for the first time in five years under new manager Herman Franks.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
This audio recording is from the Chicago Radio broadcast featuring announcers Levin Sloyd and Lou Boudreaux.

10
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
...and he was last year.

11
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Grammarly, Candelaria throws a fastball and a curve.

12
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
He told me before the game, he says, no, he says, I haven't developed a change yet.

13
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Stepping in, Yvonne DeJesus takes the fastball a little high to the right end of her ball one.

14
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
DeJesus batting 3-0-8 starting this series.

15
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
One homer, 16 runs batted in.

16
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Wind up by the big south ball, here's the pitch.

17
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Curve ball in for a strike, took a little bit off of it.

18
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Enid Sloyd coaching a third and Alvin Duck in the coach's box at first.

19
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Duffy Dyer the catcher.

20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Well he's started to have a big guy at first base.

21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Here's the wind up by Candelaria.

22
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Misses outside with a curve ball.

23
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Ball two, strike one.

24
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Reddy Stenit playing just about up the middle to second.

25
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Deep at shortstop is Frankie Tabaris, the third baseman, Phil Garner.

26
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
They have played for the A's.

27
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
We're a multitude of players.

28
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Even at third, here's the wind up.

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Fastball, Yvonne takes a cut at it.

30
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Fouls it back out of play.

31
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
No score, bottom of the first inning.

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Baseball between these two clubs out here in Great Big Field again tomorrow.

33
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:38,000
And on Sunday, and that closes out the homestand, we'll be on down at St. Louis Monday afternoon.

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Candelaria ready.

35
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
2-2 pitch.

36
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Ball, the A's takes a cut at it, fouls it, and it's back out of play.

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
In the on deck circle, Gene Clines.

38
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Last year, in two games against the Cubs, Candelaria had one win, no losses.

39
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
They allowed only two earned runs in 18 innings against the Cubs a year ago.

40
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Here's the swing and the drive in the right field.

41
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
It is wrapping in there for a base hit.

42
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
That's the first hit of the afternoon.

43
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Dave Parker, a big guy, came in.

44
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
He couldn't quite get to it in time.

45
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Tricking Texas League single to the opposite side.

46
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Here's Gene Clines, who you know as the adrenaline pumping against the ball club that turned him a couple of years ago to the Texas Rangers.

47
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Clines with 16 hits and 41 at bat, steps in, hitting 390.

48
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Couple of homers, 18 runs by the end.

49
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Stardull is not holding DeJesus on.

50
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
He is even with the back, but he's at least 10 feet off of it.

51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:56,000
First pitch with a slow curve, and Clines takes first strike.

52
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Runner-on at first base with nobody out at no score.

53
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Candyman is ready.

54
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Long look at first here as the pitch swung on.

55
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Time, left field, but it's going to be caught by Oliver.

56
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:16,000
He comes over about 45 feet inside to left field line, hustles to throw into second base, and Clines is out of there.

57
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Got around on it very well, but he couldn't get it out of here.

58
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
We've got a breeze blowing in here today.

59
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:33,000
That'll bring up Larry Bittner, left hander, hitting 315 for the year with a couple of homers, 21 runs about it in.

60
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
You know, the Cubs come in here today with a team batting average of 282.

61
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
That is the second best in the National League.

62
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Only the Los Angeles Dodgers have a higher team batting average than do the Cubs, 282.

63
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
But against a guy like this, it can be awfully tough to get hits.

64
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
He lobs a toss over to first base.

65
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
DeJesus back in plenty of time.

66
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Candelaria's earned run average is the best in the National League right now among the starting pitchers.

67
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Here's the delivery. Call for a pitch out, runner not going, ball one.

68
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Excuse me, this is a very unusual setup for starters.

69
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Playing in front of the runner, not behind him.

70
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000
And every pitch that Candelaria has thrown, he breaks towards first base to bring DeJesus back.

71
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Here he goes. Here's the pitch. Here's Dyers throw to second. He is in there with a stolen base.

72
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
With a slow curveball for a strike call.

73
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
But he got a great jump on it.

74
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
That's one of the risks you take when they first baseman play.

75
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
The way Starjolt has played against DeJesus here.

76
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:52,000
So the Pirates, who are leading the league in stolen bases, have just had one done against him.

77
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Steve on to Hayes.

78
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
As his ninth of the year, been caught five times.

79
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Runner in scoring position, bottom of the first inning, an account of one and one on Larry Bittner.

80
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
The kick to pitch, fastball. Strike call on the outside corner.

81
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Bittner not too happy with Doug Harvey's judgment on that one.

82
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
The cup opposition, by the way, mentioning that team batting average.

83
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Two eighty-two, the opposition against cup pitching is hitting two fifty-nine.

84
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
One-two delivery coming up. Here it is.

85
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Swung on a high flyball to Parker and going out instead at the second baseman.

86
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
It's Renny Stett at whooping the throw into second and he almost got a double play.

87
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Pretty nice work.

88
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Shortstop, Frankie Taveras taking that throw instead at what way after,

89
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
about ninety-five feet or so in the outfield grass.

90
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
To make that catch, he was just about facing the infield before he got rid of it in a hurry.

91
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,000
That would have been some double play.

92
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Now Bobby Mercer stepping in.

93
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Batting two eighty-six.

94
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Six overs for this left-hander.

95
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Twenty-nine runs about it in.

96
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Right side of that infield is deep.

97
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Gandoleri is pitched to him and he takes the strike.

98
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Our broadcast authorized under right spread over the Chicago National League Ball Club,

99

00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000

without the express written permission of the Chicago National League Ball Club is prohibited.

103
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Fastball.

104
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Mercer looks at strike two.

105
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Good fastball.

106
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Gandoleri is listed weight now, two twenty.

107
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
With that six feet seven inches of height, he looks like he's probably more at about two thirty.

108
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Just twenty-three years of age.

109
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Taking his eighth start.

110
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
He hasn't completed the game, but he has gone eight and two-thirds innings.

111
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
So to pitch, fastball, swung out and it missed.

112
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Blew it by Rodney's eye.

113
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Gandoleri, with a strikeout against Bobby Mercer and three pitches,

114
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
puts the Cubs down with no runs, one hit, one man left.

115
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,000
At the end of one, the Pirates will have Cal Oliver, Willie Stardale, and Renny Stinnett against Bill Bottom.

116
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
No score.

117
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
True Value Hardware stores offer the best friends a painter ever had.

118
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000

For example, a True Test eight-piece paint set comes complete with a nine-inch roller cover, frame,

121
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
a trim brush, extension pole, paint tray, brush holder, and more for just $5.99.

122
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
And all you add is the paint.

123

True Value Hardware stores also offer True Test paint brushes in a wide variety of sizes,

124
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,000
like a big four-inch standard varnish brush with flat-inch trim for just $4.98.

128

True Value Hardware stores and friends in Maine. It's our way of doing business that's true value.

129
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Al Oliver, another left-hander.

130
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000
They have three left-handers in a row, and that's why not with Parker, Oliver, and Starko.

131
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
And of course, the lead-off man, Marino, is a left-hander.

132
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
This would be a good time to have a left-hander in your starting rotation, wouldn't it?

133
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Oliver, the veteran, hitting 311.

134
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
He swings, bounces one through the right side, a face hit.

135
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Went after the first pitch by bottom and is on.

136
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,000
The high-bouncing single through the right side.

137
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Willie Stodgill stepping in, veteran, hitting 306.

138
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Seven home runs, 16 runs batted in.

139
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
As a team, the Pirates with 35 home runs this year.

140
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Five more than the Cubs.

141
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Starko twirling the bat as usual like a toothpick.

142
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
A throw to first base, Bittner standing on the back to hold Oliver on.

143
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
While he has good speed, he has not been too successful in stone of bases this year.

144
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
He has five, but he's been thrown out seven times.

145
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:51,000
The two key men, Marino, the lead-off man, and Taveras, who batted second, as far as stone of bases are concerned.

146
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Here's a stretch to the pitch of fastballs.

147
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Stodgill takes it to strike.

148
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Willie with 395 home runs in his career.

149
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000
18th in the all-time Major League home run list.

150
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Four behind the retired Al Kaelin of the Detroit Tigers.

151
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,000
He's at a bundle of them right here.

152
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Bottom of the stretch, a swing and a drive.

153
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
In a deep left-center field, Morales on the run.

154
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
He is there.

155
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Fine running catch by Jerry Morales in deep left-center field.

156
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Boy, with that left of that, it looks like it's going to be in there for extra bases.

157
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
And Morales getting a great jump on the run.

158
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Steps the glove up high over his head.

159
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000
All that in, and Oliver has to get back to first base, a beautiful play.

160
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:51,000
You know, Vincent, talking to Alvin Darn, he was amazed and surprised at the jump that Morales gets in center field on the ball off of the bat.

161
00:11:51,000 --> 00:12:00,000
He didn't realize that he could play center field that well, and only because he gets that great jump on the ball can he do the job, and he's been doing the job.

162
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
He sure did it there.

163
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Here is Rennie Stenett, with bottom, finally gets to look at another right-handed hitter, second one in their lineup.

164
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Stenett hitting 290.

165
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
One homer, 14 runs by the dip.

166
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Here's the pitch, swung on.

167
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
He hits a little Texas Linger.

168
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
It's going to drop into right field.

169
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Here's Oliver going around.

170
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Now he's way to third.

171
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Mercer's throw.

172
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
He's wide.

173
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
He is safe with third base.

174
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Well, he may not have a great stonemase record this year.

175
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Oliver did an excellent job on that one, as the ball jammed.

176
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Rennie Stenett, but he managed to hit a little looper that was out of the reach of Manny Treo, and in too close, of course, for Bobby Mercer to get to it.

177
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,000
And Oliver, with excellent judgment, able to go from first to third.

178
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Goal was one out, Phil Garner, and they gave up a bundle for it to the Oakland A's, including one of the leading hitters in the Major League.

179
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Mr. Page steps in, Garner a right-hander, playing at third base, replacing Richie Hebner.

180
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Runners at first and third go to first.

181
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,000
And Stenett, who has 12 out of 17 total bases this year, is driven back by that throw by bottom.

182
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
He may go at any time.

183
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
There he goes.

184
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Here's a swing, face it, right past bottom, into center field.

185
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
The Pirates on the board, they lead one and nothing.

186
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Phil Garner, going after the first pitch, drilled it sharply back up the middle.

187
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
It just barely eluded the attempt of Phil Bottom to make the catch on it.

188
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
And once it did that, it was by it.

189
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:52,000
It was on his left side. I thought he might be able to get it.

190
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Garner has just batted in his 14th run of the year, the third hit of the year.

191
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And that brings up a hot-hitting catcher, Duffy Dyer, built above like a fire plug.

192
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And this guy is hitting 325.

193
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
There goes the runner at first, and he's swinging at us, what they hit front on that time.

194
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,000
He fouled it, grab, sorry, I said it missed, he fouled it back out of play.

195
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,000
They just run constantly.

196
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Dyer, in his last ten ball games, 11 for 27, he's hitting over 400 over that span of ten games.

197
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
There's a couple of homers, ten runs batted in.

198
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Squared away stance, a throw to first.

199
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000
There goes him, bothered attack, steady dude, went back in there, hit first.

200
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Time call so he can dust off that light yellow set of pants that he's wearing.

201
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Boy, these are some uniforms, one of about a half a dozen sets they've got.

202
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
He's got a big lead at first base.

203
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
All one delivery.

204
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Fakes going and a pitch out, no play, and he got back. All one strike one.

205
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:14,000
He'll be going this time.

206
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Still at 112, still the bases of the year.

207
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:27,000
But he got that souvenir foul ball out of the net, and a round of applause from the appreciative crowd there.

208
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
He still has a good lead at first. Bottom of left to check him.

209
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:38,000
He fakes a throw to third, hoping to get the runner at first base, didn't go in, but he was not.

210
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000
While he faked a throw to third, he turned, faked one to first base, held onto the ball because he saw,

211
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
that stent had gotten back in.

212
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000
He steps off the rubber, that stent again, scampers back to first base.

213
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Third joiner, I'm sorry.

214
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Fakes going and a pitch of the ball too low, ball too strike one.

215
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Stent it over at third. Bill Garner with a solid base hit up the middle, not at first.

216
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Duffy Dyer, the hitter, with one out in the top of the second inning, one to nothing pitch first.

217
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Stretched by bottom, and another pitch out and Garner not going.

218
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
He is three for two.

219
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Three stolen bases and have been caught twice.

220
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
They like to double steal also.

221
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Three one pitch he goes, there's a swing and a high fouled on the right field line, the wind pushing it into the box,

222
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
he's out of play.

223
00:16:48,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Hit through on that side, ball three, strike two.

224
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Got a group here from Illinois State University.

225
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Give us the last name, Karen, Carol, Jill, Shelby, Teresa, Les.

226
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:20,000
One of them says, would you please say hi to my dad at Costco, he listens at work every day.

227
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Maybe dad knows which one is his daughter.

228
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Three two delivery instead, bottom started to throw to third base.

229
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:37,000
No play there with Randy Stentadon.

230
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Dyer been a good hitter for them.

231
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Now the stretch runner goes, here's a fastball taken for a strike, a throw to second, he slides, he's out.

232
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
A double play to retire this side.

233
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:55,000
They ran themselves right out of that second inning.

234
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Like on Duffy Dyer, perfect strike by Mitterwald, Janelle Garner at second base.

235
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
And a double play, the 36th of the year by the Chicago Cubs.

236
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And the Pirates in the second inning come up with one run, three base hits, one man left in the bases.

237
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
So at the end of one and a half, the Cubs come to bat with Pittsburgh leading one to nothing.

238
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Hello, General Finance friendly Bob Adams speaking.

239
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Dorothy Corbett here, Bob. You've seen me in the office with Mr. Corbett?

240
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Yes, Mrs. Corbett.

241
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Before I get the loan I have to ask, do you think I look better in fuchsia or apple green?

242
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Well, I'm not too good at women's.

243
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
How about orange?

244
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Orange is nice.

245
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Because they do have something in orange that's just darling.

246
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Sounds pretty.

247
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Maybe the green's more practical. What do you think, Bob?

248
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Well, what color shoes do you want?

249
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,000
That's the point, it goes with my shoes. It goes with everything. See, you do know about these things.

250
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Well, hell, that's the one, then.

251
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Only thing is, Bob, it has a little dent.

252
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
A dent?

253
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
On the other hand, it's only three years old.

254
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
You're buying a three-year-old dented dress?

255
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
I'm talking about a car, Bob. The loan is for a used car.

256
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
A car? See, I...

257
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I mean, I should get something I look good in. Don't you agree?

258
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Oh, yes. Might as well, sure.

259
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
See, you do know about these things. Oh, thanks for the help, Bob.

260
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
It's all right. You can always get a little help from a friend at General Finance.

261
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Over 65 General Finance offices in the Chicago land area to borrow up to $10,000.

262
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Just call and over 32020. Also, an office in McHenry.

263
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
There's a...

264
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:44,000
...ditch sheet that's been made into a sign, and the bleacher fans out in right field are hanging it right up over the 368-foot mark.

265
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Somebody may be requesting to pull it back in.

266
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:56,000
It's the 1st Naperville, Somp, Ditch Club, and it says, Go Cubs.

267
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Red just saw it. They pulled it back over the wall.

268
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
As long as they just display it between innings, of course, no problem.

269
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Don Candelaria pitched out of a mild little jam in the first inning, and he blew three fastballs by Bobby Mercer.

270
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Now faces Jerry Morales, who's made a very fine catch already in the ballgame.

271
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
In the first pitch, the cut right-hander's the ball.

272
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Jerry hitting 269. Three homers, 24 runs, batted in. Here's the lineup.

273
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Fastball up to the line, ball two.

274
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Candelaria is the fellow who threw that no-hitter last August against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

275
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:50,000
He's just 23 years of age. Here's a swing and a high foul down the left-field line out of play.

276
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Could have a brilliant future. He has excellent control.

277
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000
That, of course, is unusual for such a young pitcher.

278
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,000
I almost did, especially for a softball. Two-one pitch. Breaking ball.

279
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Hit misses outside, three and one. He has only walked nine minutes this year in almost 52 innings.

280
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Three-one delivery. Fastball. He misses outside.

281
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Well, did I put the X on him by talking about his great control?

282
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Didn't try to, but it's all right if we did.

283
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:37,000
That's the first walk. The Alvindar going over to talk to Morales.

284
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Candelaria with his move makes it off like that.

285
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Now, Starker is going over to talk to him to be sure they understand how Starker is going to be playing with the man on his first base.

286
00:21:49,000 --> 00:22:00,000
De Asus was successful with a steal in the first inning when Starker was playing off the back, and he's doing it now.

287
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Grillo stepping in and he takes the first pitch of strike at the knee.

288
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Starker was playing just in front of the baseline, and he's about eight, nine feet off the back at first.

289
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Most unusual position.

290
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Edges back a little bit as Candelaria steps, throws, and the pitches foul back out of play, strike two on Grillo.

291
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Manning hitting 360 for the year.

292
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Second today, Parker, the pirate, starting this series in the National League of Hitting.

293
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Three home runs for Grillo. 17 runs, about it is.

294
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Stretch the pitch. Fastball. He throws his bat at it. Fouls it out of play way down the right field side.

295
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Nothing and two on the Cubs' second baseman.

296
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
The bleachers are jammed. They're standing out there.

297
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,000
About all the guys are stripped to the waist.

298
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Here's the pitch. Swung on a high fly ball into left center field. Oliver on the run. He's going to get there. He does.

299
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Makes the one-handed catch, and Morales will scamper back to first basers one away in the bottom of the second inning.

300
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
That brings to bat Steve Onoveros.

301
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:27,000
He was telling me down around the batting cage today, he said, I don't know, he said, I just don't feel quite right. He said, I've got kind of a headache.

302
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Well, I know some ballplayers come to the ballpark not feeling too great like Kruko yesterday.

303
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
He's going to wind up with a super day. Maybe it'll be that way for Onoveros today.

304
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
He could have had it right-handed against Candeleria. Here's the pitch.

305
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And he takes a strike. Took a little bit off of that one. Came in on the outside corner. Steve hitting 322.

306
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Couple of homers, 18 runs, about it in for the year.

307
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:02,000
That ball is ready. Here's the pitch. Swung on. He goes after a fastball just above the knees and fouls it sharply into the seats in the first base side.

308
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
It's nothing in two.

309
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,000
This is the only daytime action in the major leagues. Everybody else, way under the arch tonight.

310
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Boy, what a beautiful day for a ballgame.

311
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
And a big series for both teams.

312
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,000
0-2 delivery instead, a lot of the toss to Starkham.

313
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Scampered back to first base and it was just a toss, not a good pickoff throw.

314
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Reno playing over in the left center.

315
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Candeleria ready. 0-2 delivery, fastball, and he wasted away. Ball one, strike two.

316
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
George Winterwald in the on-deck circle.

317
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Tomorrow, Rick Rushell.

318
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Jim Rooker, the probable starting pitcher's big honor day.

319
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Sajil gets back to first base. Candeleria again gives a little toss over there.

320
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000
But most of the time, Sajil is playing way off the bag and now he gets even farther off the bag at first.

321
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Now he edges back, another step for Sajil.

322
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Creeps back over again. Here's the pitch. Very high. Ball two, strike two. Let's pause for station identification.

323
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

324
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:28,000
This is WGN Radio Chicago.

325
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
One gone, Pittsburgh leading 1-0.

326
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Bottom of the second inning.

327
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Candeleria into the stretch, steps and throws again to first base, and he again just lobs it over there.

328
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Sajil goes back rather slowly.

329
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Again the stretch by the left-hander. Here's the pitch.

330
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Out of airs, piles the fastball down the right field side out of play.

331
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Ball two, strike two.

332
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
It's 68 degrees here at the ballpark.

333
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Out of Midway Airport at game time. It was 13 degrees warmer, 81 out there.

334
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,000
And we got the breeze coming in off the lake again at about 16 miles per hour.

335
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Due to pitch, swung out of it.

336
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Got him with a fastball down around his knees on the inside corner.

337
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:26,000
His second strike out of the ballgame. His 30th of the year.

338
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
That brings to bat George Middowall.

339
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,000
But Morales still out at first base.

340
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Leadoff hitter in the first inning to Jesus Singles stole second.

341
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
That's as far as he got.

342
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Now Morales throwing a walk to lead off this inning and they're two away.

343
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Middowall takes the strike.

344
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:55,000
They got three hits in the top of the inning, which was ended with a double play on a steal attempt as the batter took strike three.

345
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Middowall making a perfect take. Did a ace to get him at second base.

346
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000
There's a strike call. He's looked at two beauties.

347
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Candelaria has got big George in the hole, nothing in two.

348
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Middowall with four homers this year, driven in 15 runs, and he's maintaining a 279 batting average.

349
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,000
The 0-2 delivery. Runner goes, he swings and fouls a fastball back out of play.

350
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Nothing in two.

351
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Wendy's baseball team, 10 members of them out here today with Coach Darryl Brazel.

352
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,000
The backers of that team include Mr. Young, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Hobbs.

353
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,000
All working hard to help the youth on the west side of Chicago.

354
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:47,000
They come out here just about every day.

355
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Expect great turnouts here tomorrow and Sunday.

356
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Sunday, of course, is going to be men's sport ad day.

357
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Extra inducement to come on out.

358
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Then part of your Memorial Day holiday weekend right here at beautiful Wrigley Field.

359
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Odu Fitch instead of throwing to Steigl, who's still not over in the bag at first.

360
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Coach Lloyd, Lou Boudreau reporting, Al Aldrich, your engineer, Jack Medivich, our producer.

361
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
The 0-2 delivery to Middowall.

362
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:20,000
He wasted high and outside. Ball one, strike two.

363
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
One-eighth-three-year-old John Candelaria.

364
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Great basketball player in high school, ended the same high school as Jabbar.

365
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,000
1-2 delivery.

366
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000
One-on-a-high foul down the right field side. He didn't have much of a cut at that one.

367
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Steigl chasing it, the wind pushing it, and it goes into the seat just beyond the first base dugout.

368
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Now one of the reasons for the success of this Pittsburgh ball club this year,

369
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,000
they not only have a well-balanced attack, good hitting in here,

370
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:06,000
they also have better than expected pitching. Their staff earned run average is an excellent one, 3.36.

371
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Candelaria leads them. There's a swing and a high fly down the right field line.

372
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,000
The wind pushing it, but coming over is Crocker. The big guy grabs it in fair territory,

373
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
just beyond the visiting bullpen, and that retires a side.

374
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
And Middowall didn't have much of a cut at that one either.

375
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000
No runs, no hits, a walk, and again the Cubs leave a man on it.

376
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
At the end of two innings of play at Wrigley Field,

377
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Candelaria is still lead off in the top of the batting order with the Pirates leading one to nothing.

378
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,000
You've read good things about them, you've admired them on the street, and now you want one.

379
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:46,000
No, I'm not talking about a good-looking gal. I beat a new rotary engine Mazda, but who do you buy it from?

380
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
You can make the rounds of all the little Mazda dealers in town,

381
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:56,000
or you can save yourself a lot of time and trouble by coming out to the largest selling Mazda dealer in Chicagoland,

382
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Fireside Mazda in Schaumburg.

383
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,000
At Fireside you won't shop from a brochure, you'll get to see all the models firsthand.

384
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Fireside always has over 80 GLCs in stock at all times,

385
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
including plenty of sporty little piston-engine Mazda-Mizers, too.

386
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
No doubt about it, you'll like Fireside's low, low prices, too.

387
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000
You'll even find their showroom a welcome change of pace from ordinary dealers.

388
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:25,000
You'll find couches, easy chairs, snuggled up to a big, homey fireplace that coffee's always on,

389
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
and the salespeople are always considerate.

390
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Visit Fireside, Chrysler Plymouth Mazda on Golf Road, just west of the Woodfield Shopping Center in Schaumburg.

391
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:46,000
No doubt about it, you'll enjoy shopping at Fireside.

392
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Well, you can feel the excitement, Lou, whenever they get a band on bass.

393
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Although they went down in order in that first inning, but as soon as Oliver got on at the start of that second inning,

394
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,000
they could tell that there was going to be something brewing.

395
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Well, this is an exciting ball club as long as you can run.

396
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:14,000
When you run, you put a lot of action into the ball game.

397
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Candelaria will lead off.

398
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
He's 3 for 16, but he's made good use of those three hits.

399
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
He has four RBI.

400
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000
First pitch to him, swing and a foul out of play, strike one.

401
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Hirots lead the Cubs 1-0.

402
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Candelaria, left-handed hitter.

403
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Slow curve ball inside and low, 1-1 to count.

404
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Morales playing at left center, playing Candelaria to swing late.

405
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:02,000
He does and fouls it off out of play.

406
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:11,000
One ball, two strikes.

407
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Strike three called.

408
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Candelaria thought that ball was going to be low.

409
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,000
First strikeout, second strikeout for Bonham.

410
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Now here's the top of the order, Moreno.

411
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Grounded to first base, Bittner, and he handled a play unassisted to open up the game.

412
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Bonham's first pitch on its way, a curve ball swing and a miss.

413
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:52,000
He'll try to get on base. He's quick. He can run.

414
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000
And Tiberius is playing in on the edge of the grass at third base.

415
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Here's the strike one pitch.

416
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Fastball attempts to bunt, but pops it up and Bonham has it just in front of the charging trio for the second out.

417
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Two outs now, and here's Tiberius. Another speedster, shortstop.

418
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Tiberius bunted and was out to Bittner.

419
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Pirates one, Cubs nothing, top of the third inning. First pitch by Bonham, curve ball low, ball one.

420
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:58,000
One ball pitch, swing and a miss on another curve ball. That one was an overhand curve ball over the strike zone.

421
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:06,000
That's on account now, even though Tiberius is a right-handed hitter, Bonham Tiberius isn't giving him anything at third.

422
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
He's in on the edge of the grass.

423
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Swing and a high chopping ball of the second baseman trio has it. Close to first in time.

424
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,000
In the third inning, no runs, no hits. Nobody left out base for the Pirates.

425
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:30,000
The Cubs come to bat trailing one to nothing.

426
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Water from God's country. Sparkling, pure spring water.

427
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Gottlieb Heilemann spent years looking for water like this. He found it in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1853.

428
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Heilemann still uses this water today to pure brew, double brew a great light beer called Old Style in a traditional, old world way called poisoning.

429
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Poisoning is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive. But at Old Style we don't aim to make the most beer, only the best.

430
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:23,000
That's why we use poisoning and sparkling, pure Wisconsin spring water. Taste the difference they make. Try Old Style. Pure brewed in God's country.

431
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Heilemann Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

432
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:45,000
In the third inning, Bill Bonham will lead off the same as Candelaria did in the top of the inning. Bonham will be followed by DeJesus and Klein.

433
00:35:45,000 --> 00:36:02,000
No other action this afternoon but St. Louis sitting by and they know that if they win tonight against Montreal, they'll gain a game on somebody ahead of them as the Cubs are ahead of them and also the Pirates.

434
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Cubs two games ahead of St. Louis. Here's a swing and a miss by Bonham, strike one. While the Cardinals trail Pittsburgh by three and a half games.

435
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Strike one pitch by the South Pole, fastball pop foul out of the net. Strike two.

436
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Parker, the right fielder, only about 25 feet off of the right field line. Ball Reno, very shallow in center. There's a swing and a foul into the bullpen down the right field line.

437
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Two strikes to Bill Bonham. Curveball popped up right behind second base. Stenit is there. Now he moves in and grabs it for the out.

438
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Well, DeJesus, who's single, to open up this ballgame. He has the only hit of Candelaria thus far.

439
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Pirates one, Cubs nothing. Third inning. Tall Candelaria into the lineup. There's the pitch. Fastball for a strike call says Doug Harvey.

440
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:02,000
One out, nobody on base. The pitch on its way. High, one and one to count.

441
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Stardulant first, Stenit at second, Taberis at short and Gardner at third. One and one pitch, curveball popped foul. Talking about Gardner at third.

442
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:37,000
They traded for Gardner and Tommy Helms and a minor league pitcher by the name of Chris Batten, but they gave up Justy, Doc Middich, Rich Langford, Doug Blair.

443
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Here's a swing and a foul ball to the right field. Parker's there, he has it. Two outs. That's not all.

444
00:38:45,000 --> 00:39:02,000
They gave up Mitchell, Page, and a minor leaguer, Tony Armis. Mitchell and Page having a great season thus far with the Oakland Aves.

445
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:16,000
So they gave up quite a few men for Gardner, but he's filling the spot that was vacated when Hefner was traded to Philadelphia. Or I should say a free agent sign.

446
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:28,000
First pitch now to Klein, ball. Klein's flied out to Oliver at left field, first time at bat.

447
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Two outs, nobody on base. Ball one pitch, swing and a foul into the upper deck. Oh, it hits the facade down to the folks below.

448
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:58,000
One and one to count now to Klein. Candelaria is ready. Here's the pitch. A fast ball and he fouls it down the right field line.

449
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:09,000
This is an indication that Candelaria's fast ball is a little quick for the bats or the Cubs thus far.

450
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:20,000
He really whips that ball in there and he's got a good curve ball with it. The pitch, there's the curve ball and Klein just called out on strikes.

451
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Three strikeouts for Candelaria in the third inning for the Cubs. No runs, no hits, nobody left on base. At the end of three, Pittsburgh won the Chicago Cubs nothing.

452
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,000
No flop riding on your next move. That's why it should be riding with the mover you know, Mayflower moving in storage.

453
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Because all interstate movers charge about the same and you're not going to risk moving your household possessions with anyone but the best.

454
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Call Mayflower moving in storage in Elmhurst, 279-0060. Moving Chicagoans everywhere.

455
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:02,000
What's your next move? Call Mayflower moving in storage, 279-0060.

456
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Change to Cam 2 motor oil, tough enough for any car.

457
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,000
What a generation to make it the best, Cam 2.

458
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,000
These kind of roads, I need a four wheel drive. My kind of driving, I need Cam 2.

459
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Change your mode, the Cam 2 will know it's tough.

460
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,000
It's tough enough for me. You'll love it, Cam 2.

461
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
The Cam is really pretty.

462
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Cam 2 motor oil, race tough to run tough in any car.

463
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
From Senoko.

464
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Now it sears there pennies and turnstiles.

465
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:54,000
You know to describe these uniforms of the pirates, it's canary yellow pants trimmed down the side with two black stripes, then a white stripe in between.

466
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:02,000
They have a white jersey with red or yellow and black stripes along the jerseys.

467
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,000
They also have a complete black jersey.

468
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Here's the first pitch to the first hitter here in the fourth inning, it's Parker.

469
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,000
He has a yellow helmet on.

470
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:24,000
They have an old timers cap on as the coaches wear with a yellow stripe just around the cap.

471
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:32,000
There's a pitch inside, one and one to count.

472
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:43,000
I don't know when and how they wear the black jerseys, but they are in the clubhouse swinging a foul out of play on one of Bonham's fastballs.

473
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:49,000
I think they've got about a half a dozen different kinds of uniforms.

474
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
A half a dozen?

475
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Yeah, different kinds of uniforms.

476
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Gonna lead the league sartorially.

477
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
And it's closing.

478
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
One and two pitch, a let up.

479
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Foul down the right field line.

480
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Right over the dugout.

481
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:24,000
They have bright yellow jackets, black sleeves with yellow stripes down the arms.

482
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,000
One ball, two strikes, here's the pitch.

483
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Curve ball popped up.

484
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:41,000
3-0 back on the outfield grass at second base. Now he moves in to the dirt part of the infield and makes the catch for the out.

485
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000
One out, Al Oliver.

486
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Chuck Tanner says the reason Parker is hitting so well, even though he's a very fine hitter, he's 0 for 2 today, but he entered this ball game hitting 3-71.

487
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,000
It's because of this fellow at the plate.

488
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Here's a strike called Al Oliver.

489
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Bonham's next pitch, outside ball wide.

490
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Oliver hitting 3-11 and he has one hit today.

491
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Next pitch is inside.

492
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Ball two, strike one, the pitch on its way, let up, tap foul.

493
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000
That's Bonham's bread and butter pitch.

494
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:51,000
When he's in a ball game and has control with that good fast ball, he gets ahead of the hitters or even with them.

495
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,000
That let up is a great pitch.

496
00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:02,000
The 2-2 pitch, swing and a ground ball to second baseman, Trio has it, tosses it to Bittner for the out.

497
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Two outs in the fourth inning.

498
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Pirates lead 1-0, scoring one run in the second inning.

499
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:19,000
When they touch the bottom, all of the three hits that they have thus far.

500
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Here's Dodger with that, 395 clear home runs.

501
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:38,000
First pitch, curve ball low, ball wide, still to do up next.

502
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Bonham is ready, ball one pitch is a let up, low, ball two, no strike.

503
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,000
The pitch on its way, half ball, first strike and he had a little extra on that one.

504
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:07,000
And you know he had to have an extra on it to get it past Tarjul because he would be swinging on a two-and-no pitch with two outs, nobody on base.

505
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Two-and-one pitch, another fast ball but that one is just inside.

506
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Three-and-one, so be careful of this one.

507
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:27,000
The pitch on its way, let up, tap, foul, down to the coach.

508
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:42,000
First base and now the count is three and two. Two outs, nobody on base, fourth inning, pirates lead 1-0.

509
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Bonham is ready, gets his sign from the middle wall, here's the pitch, fast ball, there's one hit deep to left center, way back, climbs it near the wall and he has it.

510
00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Bonham was on his knees on the mound. He thought that ball was gone and so did a couple of other reporters and radio men.

511
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:10,000
But that win is cool, coming off of the lake and held it up, climbs took it for the outs.

512
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,000
In the fourth inning, no runs, no hits, nobody left on base.

513
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:24,000
At the end of three and a half innings of play, Pittsburgh 1, Cubs nothing. No runs, no hits, nobody left on base.

514
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:30,000
At the end of three and a half innings of play, Pittsburgh 1, Cubs nothing.

515
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Fans, when you think about it, signs are important to the ebb and flow of any baseball game.

516
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:40,000
There's a sign for hit and run, signs for steal but and a whole lot more to remember.

517
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Now when it comes to the ebb and flow of beer drinking, there's only one sign you have to remember.

518
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000
And that's the sign on bottles or cans of Heilman's Old Style.

519
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000
What gives this beer its great light flavor?

520
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Well, Old Style is brewed in God's country, where the skies are clear, the air is clean and crisp,

521
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,000
and the sparkling pure Wisconsin spring water flows from deep beneath the ground.

522
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Some folks say all the way from Canada.

523
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,000
With water like this, when you brew a beer once, you've got a good beer.

524
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,000
But when you brew a beer twice, you've got a great light beer.

525
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
This double brewing, pure brewing process is called poisoning.

526
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,000
It's the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive.

527
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Try Old Style, pure brewed in God's country.

528
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Larry Bittner will lead off the fours inning for the Cubs.

529
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:53,000
And if that's the indication of how that wind is blowing and keeping that ball in the ballpark off of Star Joe's bat,

530
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,000
it'd be tough to get a home run today.

531
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Here's the swing and a line done over Candelaria's head into center field for a base hit.

532
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Bittner did wait.

533
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Second hit for the Cubs.

534
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Here's Mercer, who struck out in the first inning.

535
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:27,000
A nice swing run at first base for the Cubs, if they can move him around.

536
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Star Joe's still off first base.

537
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Don't make any difference whether a left-handed hitter or a right-handed hitter is at bat.

538
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,000
With a man on first, he's still off of the base.

539
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:47,000
Curve ball for a strike called to Mercer.

540
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Bittner with his lead just behind Star Joe.

541
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Now Candelaria has a sign.

542
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,000
He's into the stretch.

543
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,000
The pitch.

544
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
Swing and a one-hopper right to Star Joe.

545
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
He touches first but cannot throw to second.

546
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Well, there's the merit of playing right there as Mercer hit that ball well, very hard.

547
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Star Joe went after the ball and said, look at here, it's in its glove.

548
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:29,000
On a short hop, he was so startled, instead of forcing Bittner at second, he ran over and touched first.

549
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Bittner advances to second.

550
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
One out.

551
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Jerry Morales walked in the second inning.

552
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,000
First pitch to Jerry on its way.

553
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Outside fastball.

554
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Ball one.

555
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Bittner with a tying run at the second base.

556
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,000
One out.

557
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,000
That Oliver is playing a shallow center field.

558
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,000
One ball pitch on its way.

559
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Morales was going after the pitch but it was over the outside corner so he decided not to swing.

560
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,000
One and one to count now to Jerry.

561
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Here's the one and one pitch by Candelaria.

562
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Fastball swing and line drive.

563
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Bates hit the center field.

564
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Here comes Bittner.

565
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Here is Oliver throwing the plate.

566
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Cut off.

567
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Star Joe throws to second.

568
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Gets Morales.

569
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,000
But the score is tied.

570
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,000
That's exactly what the base runner is supposed to do.

571
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Go on to second.

572
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
If the throw is to the plate.

573
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:44,000
And where Oliver was playing, it could have been close.

574
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Star Joe, the cutoff man, seeing Morales go to second, cut off the ball.

575
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:55,000
And with one out, that allows the tying run to score.

576
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,000
But Morales is thrown out at second base.

577
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,000
But it's a brand new ball game.

578
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,000
One to one.

579
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Morales is out eight to three to four.

580
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Here's Treo at bat.

581
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Curve ball for a strike call.

582
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Each team now with one run, three hits.

583
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Swing and a foul back to the screen.

584
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Two strikes on Treo.

585
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Cubs won, Pirates won, fourth inning.

586
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000
The pitch from Candelaria inside.

587
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Ball one, strike two as he wasted that one.

588
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

589
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Swing and a foul back to the screen.

590
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Treo just missing that good fast ball.

591
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Candelaria now gets his sign.

592
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,000
He has his wind up.

593
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000
He takes the pitch to Treo.

594
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Fast ball coming here.

595
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Twenty feet to the left center.

596
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Way back.

597
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,000
Going, going.

598
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Hey, get the good guy.

599
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Danny Treo puts the Cubs ahead with his fourth home run of the season.

600
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
And you know very well that ball had to be tagged.

601
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:45,000
So the little fella has a lot of strength in those wrists and those arms.

602
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:54,000
As that ball landed in the second roll, in the bleachers, Cubs lead to the one.

603
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Here is Onkverris at bat.

604
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,000
All right, ball one.

605
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Ganner is not waiting.

606
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
He's going to warm up somebody right now.

607
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000
He doesn't want to get the Cubs out in front by too many runs.

608
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Another ball for a strike taken.

609
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Jones is warming up.

610
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,000
A right-hander for the Pirates.

611
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,000
One and one pitch.

612
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Check his swing in time.

613
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
They ask for the appeal.

614
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
First base up, Pirate Pryor says no.

615
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
He held up.

616
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Cubs two, Pirates one, we're in the fourth inning.

617
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,000
The pitch down to Varus.

618
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000
High outside, ball three.

619
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,000
That's paused by seconds for station identification.

620
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

621
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:03,000
This is WGN Radio Chicago.

622
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,000
Ontiveros takes a strike over the outside corner.

623
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Full count now, three and two.

624
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Bittnero from the off the inning with a single.

625
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Mercer grounded out to Stargell.

626
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Morales single in a tying run.

627
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,000
And then Pryor hit a hole down.

628
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
There's the ground ball.

629
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Mads Gardner for a base hit.

630
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,000
And Delaria, curved out to Varus on the three and two pitch.

631
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:36,000
But he was protecting the plate and shot a single to left field.

632
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
That's the fourth hit in the inning for the Cubs.

633
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:49,000
And now, three-fourths of that infield is around and Delaria to try to settle them down.

634
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:55,000
I think the home run by Pryor really upset them because Stargell,

635
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:01,000
in this reporter's opinion, hit one as hard as he could to left center.

636
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Bonham thought it was out, but it was high enough that the wind held it in for Klein.

637
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Sherry, pitching coach, now out there talking the candle area.

638
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Two outs on to Varus at first base and middle wall to hitter.

639
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Cubs lead 2-1.

640
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Middle wall levels about over the plate.

641
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Candelaria's set.

642
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Here's the pitch.

643
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Fastball first strike call.

644
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Stargell once again.

645
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:51,000
He's playing about eight feet or ten feet off of the bag.

646
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
The pitch.

647
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,000
Curveball.

648
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Swinger groundball to third baseman.

649
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Gardner has it.

650
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Throws to Stargell for the out.

651
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,000
That closes the fourth inning, but not before the Cubs score.

652
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,000
Two runs.

653
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Four hits.

654
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,000
One man left on base.

655
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:13,000
At the end of four complete innings of play, Cubs 2-Pittsburgh.

656
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Cubs 0-1.

657
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,000
When is a week ten days long?

658
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000
When it's National True Test Paint Week at True Value Hardware stores.

659
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:26,000
From May 25th through June 4th, you'll find True Test paints at special prices.

660
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:31,000
For example, you can choose True Test Easy Care Latex White Enamel,

661
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,000
wash and wear childproof wall paint in white and 40 colors,

662
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,000
or True Test Weatherall Acrylic Latex House Paint,

663
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:44,000
the latex that flows on easily, dries quickly in white and 35 colors.

664
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,000
They're both just $8.97 a gallon.

665
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
True Value Hardware stores offer these True Test paints and more

666
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,000
at special prices during National True Test Paint Week

667
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:59,000
from May 25th through June 4th at participating True Value Hardware stores.

668
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:04,000
No matter where you live, you'll find a True Value Hardware store nearby to serve you.

669
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:10,000
True Value Hardware is more than just a name.

670
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:18,000
It's a way of doing business that means True Value.

671
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:28,000
They have a crowd of still buzzing here at the ballpark after that

672
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:32,000
smash off the Badamanti Trio, the fourth home run of the year.

673
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:38,000
All of them have come in this month of May, and all of them out here at Wrigley Field.

674
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:43,000
And Bill Bottom now, nursing a one-run lead, will be facing Renny Stennett,

675
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:48,000
the second baseman who's singled in the second inning.

676
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Bill Garner, who's singled and drove in their only run of the day,

677
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,000
and then the catcher, Duffy Dyer, with the runner going from first base

678
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:01,000
and two strikes on Dyer, he struck out and Minnerwald's perfect peg to DeJesus

679
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:14,000
nailed Garner for a double play.

680
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:30,000
Renny Stennett now hitting just about 291 or 292 for the year.

681
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Wind up on the first pitch.

682
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Curveball, it's a little bit low, ball one.

683
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Well, we've got a couple of young fine baseball players we want to talk about here in a moment.

684
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:47,000
From Northwestern, one old pitch, swung out, he lines a deep foul down the right field side out of play,

685
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
one-on-one on him.

686
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:54,000
A fellow who led the Big Ten in hitting this spring from Glenbrook South,

687
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Jr. up at Northwestern, Kirk Brooks, all he did is hit 442 for the Wildcats.

688
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Fastball fouled out of play way to the upper deck on the right side.

689
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,000
One and two.

690
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Baseball coach, the Wildcats' George McKenna out here this afternoon

691
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:24,000
with his business manager, Ed Lutz.

692
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:32,000
They also had the leading RBI man of the Big Ten up at Northwestern, sophomore Dave Hogue.

693
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Here's the pitch.

694
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Light up, swung on, ground ball, deep in the hole, the acer's long throw.

695
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,000
He is out safe at first base.

696
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Minner with a long stretch.

697
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Across the infield must have had his foot an inch or so off the bag.

698
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Paul Breyer has ruled that the speed he read or he's sent it, he is on at first base.

699
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:03,000
That play.

700
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:07,000
Minner thought they had him.

701
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,000
Infield single and sent it is 2 for 2.

702
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Left to keep an eye on him, he has 12 stolen bases and 17 attempts.

703
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Garner, good hit and run man stepping in.

704
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Right hander, singled in a run in the second.

705
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Fomally with the A's, a throw to first.

706
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Send it back standing.

707
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Ten catcher, sophomore Dave Hogue.

708
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Let the Big Ten in, runs batted in with 57.

709
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Here's the pitch.

710
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:41,000
Fast ball into tight, just above the knees to the right hander hitting Garner.

711
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,000
1 and 0.

712
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Pirates with a potential tying run on it first on an infield single.

713
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Remember they love to run.

714
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Stretched by a bottom, the runner doesn't go.

715
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Swing and a high fly ball to the left fielder, Gene Client is going to be caught.

716
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,000
He waits, comes in a few steps ahead of baby.

717
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,000
One gone.

718
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:11,000
So Garner can't get the man up to second.

719
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:17,000
That'll bring up the catcher, Duffy Dyer, who's struck out in the second.

720
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,000
That resulted in a double play and retired the side.

721
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
The 13th time the Duffy has spanned this year.

722
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:30,000
He has been hitting well.

723
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Bottom of the pair strikeouts for the day, giving up four hits.

724
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Putting the infield single here by Stenett.

725
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Right hander into the stretch.

726
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Pitch to Duffy, swung out, he loops a high fly ball down the right fielder line.

727
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Mercer coming over, coming over, crosses the line and the wind pushes it into the box seats.

728
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Out of play.

729
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Boy, it really had an effect on that one.

730
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:08,000
With a high sky here today, bright sky, and the wind blowing the way it is,

731
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,000
right fiel can be very, very tricky.

732
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,000
Just about any spot can be a free field on a day like this.

733
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:22,000
But despite that strong wind blowing in Manny Treo, line to Homer.

734
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:27,000
That has given the Cubs the lead, 2-1 here in the fifth.

735
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Bottom working on the catcher, Duffy Dyer.

736
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Go to first, slides back in, hit first safely.

737
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Strike one pitch coming up.

738
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,000
Here's the stretch.

739
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:47,000
The kick to pitch, way low and outside, ball one, strike one.

740
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,000
Stenett is given no indication of going.

741
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Dyer now looking down to the third base coach, Dill Lanette,

742
01:03:54,000 --> 01:04:00,000
to see whether or not they might have a hit and run or whether the runner might be trying to go.

743
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:05,000
He has a pretty good lead.

744
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Bottom steps off the pitching rubber.

745
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Dyer steps out of the batter's box.

746
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Stenett still with a pretty good lead now.

747
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,000
His bottom plants that right foot back in the rubber.

748
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Watch another set of signs.

749
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,000
He's got it, he's ready.

750
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,000
Drows to first, runner back safely.

751
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Pretty good move that time by Bill.

752
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Boy, these are really colorful uniforms.

753
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,000
These pirates are worrying.

754
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,000
One off, one one delivery, another throw to first.

755
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:42,000
And he falls back in the back safely again.

756
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:48,000
Doesn't bother to shake much of the dirt off those right lemon yellow pants.

757
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,000
There he goes.

758
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,000
He's got the pitch out, Middlwald's throw.

759
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:57,000
He hates to put the drag on him, he gets out.

760
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Beautiful work.

761
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,000
Middlwald, coming, he's coming.

762
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,000
All for the pitch out.

763
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,000
Stenett, Dill on his back on a second base.

764
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Looks like he might have hurt his back.

765
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Trying to go in there.

766
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:18,000
He's been shot down for the sixth time this year out of 18 attempts.

767
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Middlwald is two for two against the pirates here today in stunted base attempts.

768
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:32,000
Trainer out there talking, checking where he's Stenett.

769
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,000
He had that right leg extended well out in front of him.

770
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,000
The peg had him beat by plenty.

771
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,000
The ace is putting the tag on him.

772
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:49,000
Hard on his back into second base, they're helping him do his feet now.

773
01:05:49,000 --> 01:06:02,000
Al Monchak and the trainer, Tony Pateroma out there, he's flexing his knees.

774
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:09,000
Now he's going to walk off under his own power.

775
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Middlwald has made two fine pegs.

776
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,000
But he sensed that one was coming.

777
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:23,000
Just as we did, we saw Stenett extend that lead after Lynette had given another set aside to the hitters.

778
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,000
So the count is two and one.

779
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,000
There's a strike call right at the knees.

780
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,000
All two strike two.

781
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,000
Bases are empty.

782
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
So the two to one lead, we're in the fifth inning.

783
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Bottom on the windup, here's the delivery.

784
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,000
That ball broke into the dirt.

785
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Ball three, strike two on Duffy Dyer.

786
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000
The pitcher, due up next.

787
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Happy birthday to Carl Groh celebrating his 82nd birthday right out here at Wrigley Field today.

788
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Windup three, two pitch.

789
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Dyer takes the fastball, just misses inside at the knees.

790
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,000
That's the first walk issued by Bottom, and it brings up the pitcher.

791
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:17,000
Twenty-three year old John Candeleria.

792
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Looked at strike three when he led off the third inning.

793
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Stretch the pitch.

794
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Fastball swung out, a bouncing ball back to the mound.

795
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,000
It's going to be easy.

796
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:33,000
He's got it by 20. That retires a sign.

797
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Easy one hopper.

798
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,000
No runs for the Bucks in the fifth.

799
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,000
One hit, a walk, then caught stealing.

800
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,000
One man left on.

801
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:46,000
So the Cubs come to bat at Wrigley Field in the bottom of the fifth inning, and Bill Bottom is going to lead off.

802
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:51,000
The Cubs are leading two to one.

803
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Hello, General Finance.

804
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,000
Friendly Bob Adams speaking.

805
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,000
Bob, can you handle an emergency loan?

806
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,000
I think so.

807
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,000
I'll need a loan for moving expenses because I finally went and did it.

808
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Who's this?

809
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,000
The guy they said wouldn't do it.

810
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Who?

811
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,000
Steve Kelly.

812
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,000
And you know what?

813
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,000
You did it.

814
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,000
Right.

815
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Went right in and said, boss, I've had it with these crazy working hours.

816
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,000
And furthermore, I don't think much of my salary here either.

817
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,000
Isn't that good what I said?

818
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,000
What?

819
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,000
What happened, Mr. Kelly?

820
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,000
He fired me.

821
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,000
That's not good.

822
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,000
I got another job, though. That's not bad, is it?

823
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,000
No, that's good.

824
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,000
No, that's bad.

825
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,000
It's in another state, Bob.

826
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Oh, well, there's good and bad in everything, I guess.

827
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,000
You know, Bob, there's good and bad in everything, I guess.

828
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,000
I heard that somewhere.

829
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,000
So about that emergency loan?

830
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,000
Well, you can always get a little help from a friend.

831
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,000
I want you to think about something, Bob.

832
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Yes.

833
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:45,000
It's nice to know you can always get a little help from a friend at General Finance.

834
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Over 65 General Finance offices in the Chicagoland area to borrow up to $10,000.

835
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:59,000
And over 3,000, also an office in Mundelein.

836
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Well, some of the gals out here with the tank tops today,

837
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:10,000
brought up on the halter tops, enjoying the bright summer sunshine

838
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:16,000
and a nice cool breeze off the lake and some of the delicious refreshments here at Brighley Field.

839
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:22,000
Ladies Day at the ballpark, as it will be every Friday that comes their home this year.

840
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Take advantage of it, gals.

841
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Bottom popped up when he let off the third.

842
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000
Candler, he has a windup, the left hander's first pitch, fastball,

843
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Swagati's late, bowels it down the right field line, into the box, seats out of play.

844
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:44,000
Steve, right one on Bill.

845
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Windup the pitch, curve, misses outside, ball one, strike one.

846
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:57,000
White Sox tonight taking on the Yankees in New York, and we wish them good luck.

847
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:02,000
One-one pitch, strike call, the fastball, one and two.

848
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:07,000
Ken Brett going after his sixth one of the year, facing the catfish.

849
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Hunter, one and three for the Yankees.

850
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,000
One-two pitch, fastball, taken, press right.

851
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:22,000
He thought it was going to be outside at the knees, but the call goes to John Candleria,

852
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:28,000
the 23-year-old left hander, as his fourth strike out of the day.

853
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:33,000
He starts today with the best turned run average of them, the regular starting pitchers in the National League.

854
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Candleria does. That homer off of him was only the third he's given up this year.

855
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:42,000
Here's Yvonne DeJesus, who's single, stolen second, and flied to right.

856
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Right hander swings, a fastball jams him, he piles it back out of play.

857
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:57,000
Shepherd Astro, varsity baseball team from Palos Heights out here enjoying this exciting ball game today.

858
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:01,000
Shepherd Astro, varsity team from Palos Heights.

859
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:05,000
Hole one, did a brief. DeJesus tries to bunt the fastball, gets it out near the mound.

860
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,000
Candleria picks it up, whirls and throws. He's got him.

861
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:14,000
DeJesus really hustling down the line. He got it a little bit nearer the pitcher's mound than he wanted to.

862
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Candleria off the mound in a hurry. He's a good athlete.

863
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,000
Not every pitcher can feel that position that well, but his momentum, of course,

864
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:31,000
carries him a bit off the mound towards the third base side, and that helps him in that spot.

865
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:39,000
The base is empty for Gene Clines, who's flied to left and looked at strike three today against these old Pittsburgh teammates.

866
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:50,000
Shot of the day hitting 390. Here's the pitch. Right hander ticks. Fastball's a little high, ball one.

867
01:11:50,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Nobody on. Two-gov, two-to-one scorecups. Bottom of the fifth. Wind up the delivery. Swung on. Fouls it. Over to the first base side.

868
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:08,000
From Dwight, Illinois. Here in their annual lobby.

869
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:15,000
They say the 18 from Dwight, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries at beautiful Wrigley Field.

870
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:25,000
How about you? You make it tomorrow or Sunday? I hope so.

871
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Number 18, Gene Clines stepping back in there.

872
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Candleria in the wind up. One-one delivery. Fastball swung on. He fouls it back out of play.

873
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:39,000
This guy is big and strong. He can challenge you with that fastball.

874
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:52,000
He did with Trejo. Matt, he responded to that challenge with his fourth home run of this month of May.

875
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Now the wind up. One-two pitch. Swung on. A high pop-up into right field. Dave Parker is there.

876
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:07,000
Ripping in into his left. The big fellow gloves it one-handed. And the Cubs in the fifth inning go down in order.

877
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Now at the end of five at Wrigley Field. Pittsburgh will send the top of the batting order up against Bill Bottoms with the score that Cubs do.

878
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,000
The Pirates won.

879
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:23,000
You know, Lou, I think Al Gaines travels as much as we do. Look at those car-buying crutch he takes to Detroit every week.

880
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:31,000
You know, Al, a lot of air miles, Vince. All right. But we should tell the fans we're talking about Al Gaines, president of Fireside Chrysler Permanent.

881
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:35,000
We better also tell them when it comes to one-of-a-kind, executive-driven used cars.

882
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:39,000
There's no doubt about it. Al Gaines keeps Fireside on top.

883
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:47,000
That's right, fans. Al flies to Detroit every two weeks to purchase luxurious autos pre-driven by Chrysler Corporation executives.

884
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,000
These cars have really been babied. In some cases, they're barely broken in.

885
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:59,000
And in most cases, they're loaded with expensive options. Boy, that cost you thousands of dollars to order a new car with all the elegant convenience equipment that these cars have.

886
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:05,000
But because these autos are slightly used and because Al buys volume and saves a bundle, you do too.

887
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Save on town and country wagons, New Yorkers and Newports and Cordovas or pick a Dodge Monaco or a Plymouth Duster or Fury. Fireside has them all.

888
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:21,000
And there's always between 25 and 50 in stock at Fireside Chrysler Plymouth on Golf Road just west of the Woodfield Shopping Center in Schaumper.

889
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Now, if you want something really special in executive cars, there's no doubt about it. Fireside Chrysler Plymouth's the place to shop.

890
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Bill Bottom will be facing Omar Marino. He tried to bunt his last time up in the third and he popped it up to the pitcher.

891
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:46,000
He ground it out to Larry Binder when he let off the ball game.

892
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:54,000
So he's all for two today. Left-hander with excellent speed, a good man to keep off the bases.

893
01:14:54,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Hey, we've got a gas-saving and fun-to-do idea for your group, your club or your organization.

894
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:08,000
An afternoon of baseball right out here at the ballpark. Manager and group sales Ernie Banks and his staff will arrange for everything from tickets to transportation.

895
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,000
Charter bus service can bring the whole gang right out here to the ballpark.

896
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:17,000
First pitch, sexy swing, it's a strike.

897
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:23,000
For complete details about the Ernie Banks special group package, call is the pitch.

898
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Fastball, he takes it inside, one-on-one. EB71919, that's EB71919, area code 312.

899
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Call collect if you live out of town, messy furnished by the Cubs.

900
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:47,000
One-one pitch, dips a little low, two-and-one on Marino.

901
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Ball to strike one. Dangerous guy to let reach.

902
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Bottom has not been behind many hitters. Here's the pitch.

903
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:58,000
Fastball and he fouls it out of play to the left side.

904
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:02,000
Bottom looks like he's determined that this guy is going to get out. He's going to have to hit his way on.

905
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:08,000
Came in with a good fastball.

906
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Marino carried that black bat to the plate.

907
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Right, Canary yellow helmet, same for the pants.

908
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,000
White shirts with the upstanding deep vertical stripe.

909
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Here's a swing at him as he got it. A good fastball.

910
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Right about hip high and in on him.

911
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Three strikeouts for bottom today.

912
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Thirty-six for the year for him.

913
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:43,000
Here's Frankie Taveras.

914
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,000
When he tried to reach with a butt in the first inning,

915
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,000
ball bounced up and hit him when he was out in front of the plate in fair territory.

916
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Then he bounced out. Look out, pitch inside and it nicks him on the left hip.

917
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,000
I think it's on the hip, maybe the hand.

918
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:05,000
What's for the trainer? Tony Bodderoam is coming out to check one of his players, but he says he's okay.

919
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:18,000
It's not a fastball. Just didn't break.

920
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Well, they got a golf club in that right hand.

921
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:33,000
They wear his golf clubs or batting clubs on both hands when he's on the bases.

922
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Maybe to protect his hands when he slides.

923
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:46,000
It's fastball. They have the potential tying run on base.

924
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:52,000
Left-hander Dave Parker to be followed by another left-hander to be followed by another left-hander.

925
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:58,000
Parker, 0 for 2, is lined to left field and throw the first. He's back safely and he's popped up.

926
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:04,000
He started the day hitting 371.

927
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Dick left-hander, great skill. There's a throw to first and he almost picked him off.

928
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Parker is determined to win the National League Batting Championship this year.

929
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:23,000
He says, not only this year, he says, I think I can do it several times. He's too big to argue with.

930
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Another throw to first and he had a little bit more steam on that one. He would have nailed it.

931
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:39,000
One gone.

932
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Another throw to first and DeVaris is back safely again. Bittner almost lost it that time on the throw from bottom.

933
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:58,000
DeVaris has their best record. He's 18-3. Leads them in stolen bases.

934
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Doing a little drop-throd over there to try to get himself loosened up.

935
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:09,000
He makes the tying run at first base.

936
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:15,000
Now he takes a pretty good lead over first. Bottom end of the stretch. Wheels another throw.

937
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:23,000
That is hand bound the bag just in time to avoid being picked up.

938
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Got to keep these guys on.

939
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Middlwald has thrown out two men today trying to steal. Here's the stretch. There he goes. Pitch-out. Middlwald throws.

940
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:42,000
He slides. He's safe. Back by Middlwald. Despite the pitch-out, had a little difficulty getting the ball in his grasp.

941
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Then he tried to hurry the throw and it was too high.

942
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:58,000
That's all it takes for a guy like DeVaris to get in there with a stolen base his 19th of the year.

943
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Shot not only three times.

944
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:06,000
George had the right idea. Call for the pitch-out.

945
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Then there is just a fraction of a second there while he was getting the ball in his grasp out of that catcher's bin.

946
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,000
And he hurried the throw and it sailed up high.

947
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Runner at second with one away. Bottom wheels but makes no throw to second base. Nobody covering.

948
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:37,000
Now the shortstop gets in. He throws and he's back in safely.

949
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:41,000
Working hard to keep that man close to second base.

950
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:46,000
He's got to concentrate on the hitter. Here's the pitch. Swim out of it. Beauty.

951
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Roped down sharply. Good sinker.

952
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Parker with eight homers this year including a grand slammer last Sunday against the Dodgers.

953
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:09,000
They split that four-game series with the Western Division leaders.

954
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:13,000
Bottom ready with a 1-1 delivery. Here it comes.

955
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Fastball swung on fouled right up in front of our booth, up out of the net.

956
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Ball one, strike two.

957
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Parker was not a very high draft choice by the Pirates.

958
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:34,000
A lot of ball above were fearful that the football knee injury had suffered.

959
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Quite a steel bird. They want to protect him.

960
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Ball one, strike two remains the count as Winterwald goes out to talk to bottom.

961
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:57,000
Parker, the right fielder, and of course there's constant comparison with him and the late great Roberto Clemente.

962
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:03,000
But as so many say, there's only one Clemente.

963
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:11,000
Last year he hit 313. Drove in 90 runs.

964
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Bottom has his work cut off. One-two pitch. Fastball swung on. He bounces over the pitcher's mound.

965
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Baris holds. The aces charge to then pick it up, throws his sink.

966
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:29,000
But there is going to be interference called as the Baris, the runner, interferes with the ball.

967
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:33,000
And the aces try to make the pick up on that ball.

968
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,000
And I want to congratulate the clicker face sub-bire Andy Olson.

969
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:45,000
He did not hesitate after that runner was out at first base and making that call.

970
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Ball was a high chopper over the pitcher's pound on the shortstop side and the aces had to almost literally push

971
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:59,000
the Baris out of his way to get to that ball.

972
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:11,000
And that you cannot do if you're a base runner. You've got to give that fielder a chance to get to that ball without any interference or obstruction.

973
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:19,000
Chuck Tanner, out there beeping about it, but he has got to lose this argument.

974
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:33,000
And he's out. And look at this crowd roar.

975
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:42,000
Right at the aces with the put on. And Plucker will be on at first base.

976
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:52,000
I think they'll just reel in a fielder's choice for him.

977
01:23:52,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Stick around. There may be a lot happening, not only the rest of today, but the rest of this weekend, as these two teams are really keyed up.

978
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Al Oliver stepping in at a throw to first base, face to keep Plucker on. Despite his size, he can fly.

979
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Left-hander Al Oliver swings and he misses. Strike one and a healthy gun.

980
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:32,000
They rolled it just as we gave it to you. Fielder's choice in the put out to the shortstop to aces.

981
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Here's the pitch. Al Oliver lifts that front foot and he takes it low, ball one, strike one.

982
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:45,000
He does that, Al Oliver. Larry Bittner, out of the great mellow out, lifts the front foot.

983
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:50,000
This is the pitch approaching it. Throw to first and Parker back in safely.

984
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Let's see Parker's big. He's 6'5", about 230. He'll be 26 in June.

985
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:06,000
Here's the pitch. Oliver was going to butt. Minterwald asks the appeal and he is out of there.

986
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:12,000
It's a strike, I should say, not out of there. A little premature.

987
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:22,000
He was going to claim that he did not go through with a butt attempt on the pitch around his knees, but Minterwald quickly asked for the appeal and he won it from Crawford, the third base up fire.

988
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:27,000
So the count on him, one and two. Bottom of throw to first. Look out, he almost threw it away.

989
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:37,000
Bittner had to come way off the back, prevented from going into foul territory.

990
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:44,000
Two to one score. Cubs leading. Pirates batting in the sixth with two away.

991
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:53,000
They have four hits off bottom. Cubs have five, including trios. There goes the runner, a swing and a drive into left field. That's going to be enough for a base hit.

992
01:25:53,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Here comes Parker to win it third. Clines, slips and falls. Parker is going to score the tying run.

993
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:13,000
A liner down the left field line. Gene Clines lost his footing as he hustled over just beyond the couple bend, trying to keep that ball.

994
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:24,000
In there so that Parker would not be able to score. But suddenly as spikes went out from under him, Parker, as I just told you a moment ago, can really turn it on.

995
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:33,000
Seeing that was able to keep right on going. And it will be a double and a run batted in for Al Oliver.

996
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:44,000
And the ball game is tied to a piece and Willie Starkle steps in there not going to pitch to him. He will be walked intentionally.

997
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Hit number five for the Pirates.

998
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:56,000
An intentional base on balls given now to Willie Starkle.

999
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Willie starting the day hitting three oh six. He hit a drive his last time at bat that looked for all the world as though it would go into the bleachers for Al Oliver.

1000
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,000
But the wind pushed it back in.

1001
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:16,000
And then Jerry Morales robbed him of extra bases with a great running catch in the second inning.

1002
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:27,000
He's hit the ball hard twice. Rather than face him, they're going to work on Renny Stenit, a right-hander, with runners at first and second.

1003
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Two gone, it's tied at two.

1004
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Stenit, two for two today. It didn't field single, but they face it into right field.

1005
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:49,000
Bottom into the stretch. First pitch, very high, ball one, let's pause for station identification. This is WGN Chicago.

1006
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:58,000
This is WGN Radio Chicago.

1007
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:04,000
Bottom getting his side. Stenit and tough hitter, feet close together.

1008
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:13,000
Here's the pitch to it. He swings. Chops one to Onabaris at third. Should retire the side. Here's the fake defense. There he's got him.

1009
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,000
He bounces out to Onabaris.

1010
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:23,000
So the attempts are warped to start the base off, but they tie it up.

1011
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:27,000
Strikeout, a hit batsman, stolen base, then an interference call against the runner.

1012
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:32,000
A fielders choice, and a double by Oliver ties it up. The only hit in the inning.

1013
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:37,000
Two men left on. The Cubs come to bat in the bottom of the sixth at Wrigley Field.

1014
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Bittner, Mercer and Morales to face John Candeleria, Pirates two and the Cubs two.

1015
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:47,000
Friends, now you can get a book on how to enjoy the great outdoors from True Value Hardware stores.

1016
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:55,000
It's their spring and summer catalog, and it's full of lawn and garden items designed to make your great outdoor work more enjoyable.

1017
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:59,000
Like the lawn chief, three and a half horsepower, 20 inch rotary mower.

1018
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:05,000
It has an easy lift starter, fingertip height adjustments and a handle that folds for storage.

1019
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:11,000
You'll also enjoy the price. It's just $109.99 at True Value Hardware stores.

1020
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:17,000
Then store your lawn and garden item outdoors where they're easy to get at, but still out of the way.

1021
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Invest in the Arrow Greenbrier 5 by 10 foot storage building.

1022
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:27,000
The construction is weather tight and water resistant, so there's little or no maintenance.

1023
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:34,000
See these items and more in the spring and summer catalog? Get them at participating True Value Hardware stores.

1024
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:49,000
True Value Hardware is more than just a name. It's a way of doing business at each True Value.

1025
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Larry Bittner to lead off. Vince Lloyd with the air at Wrigley Field.

1026
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Binder single gleaning off the fourth inning. Single sharply at the first pitch up the middle.

1027
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:09,000
And he came in on Jerry Morales' base hit.

1028
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:14,000
He's one for two today against Candelaria, the wind up in the pitch.

1029
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Takes one that drips inside, ball one to Larry.

1030
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:27,000
You know, right now Dave Parker and Manny Treo are only two points apart in their batting average for the leadership of the National League.

1031
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:34,000
Passball a little high, 2-0. Parker right now, according to my figures, hitting.364.

1032
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,000
And Treo hitting.362.

1033
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:47,000
2-0 delivery to Binder. Here it is. Passball swung on and he fouls it down the left field side out of play. It's 2-1.

1034
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Big group of 110 here from Chicago today representing the American Invesco Company.

1035
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:59,000
Eloise Metlair in charge sitting at section 110 and 11.

1036
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:04,000
And they're seeing a honey of a ball game. 2-1 delivery.

1037
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Passball, the big guy misses outside. It's 3-1.

1038
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:19,000
From Northbrook, a welcome to the Boys Town Alumni Association. Jimmy O'Connell with him.

1039
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:24,000
Binder with a 3-1 pitch coming up levels of bat. Here's the wind up and the pitch swung on.

1040
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:29,000
He hit under it, fouled it back up out of the net. 3-2 on it.

1041
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:36,000
Galean, Michigan. Dennis Miller with a group from Galean High School.

1042
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:41,000
From 36th up. Perfect one.

1043
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Wide up 3-2 pitch. Passball, Binder swings. Ground ball, makes it.

1044
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,000
And it's a big guy. Oh, exactly.

1045
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:54,000
That gear part. There was a ball going right up the middle.

1046
01:31:54,000 --> 01:32:01,000
Here is what happened. It hit the bag at second and parried sharply over to the shortstop side.

1047
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:05,000
And there was Taveras to grab it on the run and throw him off.

1048
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:11,000
There's a situation where the bag at second dropped Larry Binder of a hit.

1049
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:16,000
And it was going right up the middle.

1050
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,000
What a wild game this is.

1051
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:26,000
I apologize for being premature in the call. If it doesn't hit the bag just exactly the way it did, he's on.

1052
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:31,000
Here's Bobby Mercer. Takes the bat and takes the strike.

1053
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:35,000
He is struck out and grounded out today.

1054
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:41,000
I have never seen it happen just like that.

1055
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:49,000
He had to Larry, he had to go over there and pass that second base bag and gratitude. Big fellow delivers the ball outside.

1056
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Took a little off of it.

1057
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:57,000
It's a good pitcher though. Takes nothing away from him.

1058
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Flash ball, he swings and misses. 1-2.

1059
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,000
Our neighbors at WGM, Gordon Tech High School.

1060
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:18,000
We have a group out here today. Gordon Tech, a group of 20. Gregory Foterik in charge.

1061
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,000
Ball one, strike two, pitch to Mercer.

1062
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Flash ball, he picks it outside, 2-2.

1063
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:35,000
The group from Michigan, from Grand Rapids. 43, from the Northeast, junior high, Grand Rapids here.

1064
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:38,000
Ball two, strike two, pitch. Mercer gets under it.

1065
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:41,000
Hey, that ball is bad. Keeps it right field.

1066
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,000
Back to the ball.

1067
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:45,000
It is a goal.

1068
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,000
3-2 Bobby Mercer.

1069
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Bobby played a second and just plays that pitch triumphantly.

1070
01:33:53,000 --> 01:34:03,000
That's for Bobby and 7th, Mel Ringer of the year.

1071
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:14,000
Oh, a back roll. Isn't that a beautiful sight? You couldn't be sure.

1072
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:20,000
Big, big welcoming delegation in that tough dugout.

1073
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:24,000
Tough second home run of the day.

1074
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:29,000
Now Morata steps in. Takes the curve for a strike. Let me tell you.

1075
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Could be a two run lead. Except for that crazy ball off the man of Bittner that hit the bag at second and deflected to the shortstop.

1076
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:41,000
There's his wing. Hey, that ball is hit way back in the net.

1077
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Hey, high up the line. That is going to be a stand up double.

1078
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:59,000
Al Oliver leaps as high as he could go. And he just missed making a successful catch. And Morata's just missed a bell ringer.

1079
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,000
As it is, it is a stand up double.

1080
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:06,000
As Candelaria beginning to come up with his pitches a little bit.

1081
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,000
May not belong for Wrigley Field today.

1082
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:21,000
But a great, superb effort by the left fielder, Al Oliver. Went back right near the 353 foot mark in left field.

1083
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:28,000
368 foot mark rather. But he just couldn't get to it.

1084
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:38,000
So a homer by Bobby Mercer. Now a double by Morales. Chuck Tanner has gone out to clock to Candelaria.

1085
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:44,000
He has a very slender right hander, Kip DeCovey, throwing in the bullpen.

1086
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:51,000
Morales today, a walk, a single, a double. And driven in a run. He's 2 for 2.

1087
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:55,000
And Manny Trejo stepping in.

1088
01:35:55,000 --> 01:36:00,000
Hovered in the fourth inning to give the Cubs a temporary lead. They got it back.

1089
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:06,000
There's the ball. Too low.

1090
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:13,000
The last homer Mercer hit was on that day against the Potters when the Cubs hit 7-0.

1091
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:20,000
The look at second, the pitch to Cleo. And he takes the ball inside. 2-0.

1092
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Remember that one by Mercer that day on a 3-0 pitch? A foot misker.

1093
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:31,000
Shortly thereafter was traded to St. Louis from San Diego.

1094
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:37,000
2-0 delivery. Cleo takes. It's a strike right at the knees, 2-1.

1095
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:47,000
That's the game, of course. That's 7-0 game by the Cubs at day 1. Fairly in the lead, 23-6.

1096
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:51,000
Lutter at second. Cubs leading 3-2. Candelaria's pitch.

1097
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:56,000
Flung out a high fly ball. Parker drifting back. He's got plenty of room. He's under it.

1098
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:06,000
Dallas will hold at second base. That Parker's got a good arm. 2-0.

1099
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Now Steve Onabera stepping in. He's singled in the fourth inning.

1100
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Grilled one just out of the reach of the third baseman, Phil Garner.

1101
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:27,000
He's in here to give the Cubs a two-run lead.

1102
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:33,000
Mercer's seventh. Bell ringer of the year giving the Cubs a lead.

1103
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:46,000
3-2 here in the sixth. The pitch. Onabera takes a strike right at the knees.

1104
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:50,000
Rallis at second. It'd be nice to get him in.

1105
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:56,000
Candelaria looks, delivers. Low and inside. 1-1 on Onabera.

1106
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:09,000
Steve started today hitting 3-22. The single in the fourth helped his batting average a little bit.

1107
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:16,000
Don Candelaria in the stretch. Fast ball. He swung on it and he was a little late.

1108
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
Fouled it into the grandstand section over behind first base.

1109
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,000
Bruce Sutter working in the cup bullpen.

1110
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:28,000
With these two squads, Sutter for the Cubs, the goose, Rich Gossage for the Pirates.

1111
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:31,000
You have two of the finest relief pitchers in the league.

1112
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:36,000
But it is not Gossage. It's Kukolki in their bullpen. Here's the pitch.

1113
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:43,000
Fast ball misses outside at the letters 2-2.

1114
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:49,000
Comes with a pair of home runs today. Mercer making it to the right field.

1115
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:54,000
And Treo lining the shot into the window of the bleachers and left.

1116
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Two out for under a second. Here's the 2-2 pitch coming up.

1117
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Onabera takes the fast ball to 2-high, ball 3, strike 2.

1118
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Steve steps out of the batter's box for a moment.

1119
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Now getting himself settled in again.

1120
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:19,000
Straightaway stance when he bats right-handed, choking up on the bat just about an inch.

1121
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:29,000
The 3-2 pitch swung around a fast ball foul right under the upper deck on the first base side.

1122
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:33,000
It winds up in the box seats.

1123
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:39,000
Marty Shouk, pitching coach, standing alongside Bruce Sutter in the cup bullpen.

1124
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:42,000
Sutter just standing now watching the action.

1125
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:47,000
And Delirious on the hill delivers. 3-2 pitch is high for ball 4.

1126
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:54,000
Missed with a fast ball and now to bring up George Smidawold.

1127
01:39:54,000 --> 01:40:02,000
This kid has excellent control. That's only his second walk today and only the 11th of the year by Delirious.

1128
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,000
Smidawold has flied to right.

1129
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:09,000
Did not have a good cut then because he got himself with a hole 0-2 right up the bat.

1130
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:16,000
Last time at bat he bounced out to Garner at third. Here's the pitch. Swung out a miss.

1131
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:19,000
Good job George.

1132
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:23,000
He's made two perfect throws at second today.

1133
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:28,000
Shot down two of the pirates trying to steal. One has done it on him. Here's the pitch.

1134
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:32,000
Swung out and he fouls it into the upper deck.

1135
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:40,000
Back behind the plate. Nothing can do. He's in the hole again.

1136
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:48,000
The number by Bobby Mercer that's given the Cubs a lead here in the sixes is 181st in his career.

1137
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:55,000
Hole 2 delivery. Wasted high and inside. Ball 1 strike 2.

1138
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,000
Norm Jacobs out here today.

1139
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:06,000
Looks up at great baseball digest magazine.

1140
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:12,000
Pitch. Smidawold swings. High fly ball. The left fielder Al Oliver waiting for it.

1141
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:17,000
He should grab it. He does. And bat retires the side.

1142
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:27,000
Got under it just a little bit too much. But Mercer, 7th over of the year, here in the sixth inning, has given the Cubs a lead.

1143
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:29,000
He hits a walk and two men left on.

1144
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,000
And we got a honey of a ball game here at Wrigley Field today.

1145
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:37,000
At the end of sixth, the Cubs lead the Pittsburgh Pirates 3 to 2.

1146
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:43,000
You know, I think Al Gaines travels as much as we do with those car buying trips he takes to Detroit every week.

1147
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:48,000
You know Al, a lot of air miles, Vince, all right. But we should tell the fans we're talking about Al Gaines

1148
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,000
rising on the fireside Christ the Permanent.

1149
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,000
We better also tell them when it comes to one of a kind executive driven used cars.

1150
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:58,000
There's no doubt about it. Al Gaines keeps fireside on top.

1151
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:07,000
That's right, fans. Al flies to Detroit every two weeks to purchase a series of autos pre-driven by Chrysler Corporation executives.

1152
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:12,000
What a ball game.

1153
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:16,000
Two contenders for the Eastern Division in the National League.

1154
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:23,000
So far, the Cubs have asserted itself on homers by Trio and by Mercer.

1155
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:31,000
And although you're crazy, crazy, they bludgeoned off the second base back, prevented Mercer's ball from being a two run shot.

1156
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:40,000
Because just ahead of it, Bittner had hit what appeared to be a base hit, but it tarnished off the back at second right over to the shortstop.

1157
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:47,000
Now the bottom third of the batting order stepping in for the Pirates, and leading off is Bill Garner, right-hander.

1158
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:53,000
Singled and flied to left. Bottom's first pitch is a little high. Ball one to Garner.

1159
01:42:53,000 --> 01:43:00,000
The copy's still throwing at her bullpen. In the on-deck circle, the catcher, Duffy Dyer, then will be looking for a pinch hitter.

1160
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:09,000
Perhaps one-oh pitch. Plung on a hard ground ball. The ace is to his left. Bobbleton picks it up, throws. He is safe at first base.

1161
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:22,000
That will be an error against the Cubs normally sure-handed shortstop.

1162
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:31,000
You know, that's only the Cubs' 32nd error of the year at playing Super Bowl.

1163
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:36,000
But Garner reaches to open up the seven. Duffy Dyer will be the hitter.

1164
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:45,000
And then, you know, it's all the press conference today. He said it's going to be the most important since he has moved his A's out from Kansas City to Oakland.

1165
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:53,000
Well, Charlie has announced he's going to cut ticket prices in half for the games that the A's play at home Monday through Thursday.

1166
01:43:53,000 --> 01:44:00,000
Duffy Dyer and the right-hander takes it inside for a ball. Pretty good bargain.

1167
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Monday through Thursday, Oakland A's games at home, ticket prices will be cut in half.

1168
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:13,000
If you're out there, sometime when they're playing, take advantage of it.

1169
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:20,000
Out of air, sneaking up the line at third, Justin Case Dyer tries to bust.

1170
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:34,000
The honor out is first. Hot Steely, first time he was on base. There's a swing. He's out in front. He drills it deep and foul. Way down the left field side, it's one-on-one.

1171
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:42,000
If you saw that NBA game last night, after it was pretty much decided the fourth quarter, a pretty good fight broke out.

1172
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:59,000
That two of the participants, Darrell Huck Dawkins and Lori Lucas, have been fined a pretty heavy blaster, $2,500 a piece for their part in that fight.

1173
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Bottom steps off the pitching rubber, takes another look at Conner as good lead at first. Dyer, hit a hot hitter.

1174
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:15,000
Go to first. Not his best move of the day, and the runner back in standing.

1175
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:22,000
Commissioner of the NBA, Larry O'Brien, made that an Oxford $2,500 fine.

1176
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:31,000
Dawkins and Lucas, Portland Trail Blazers and the Philadelphia 76ers.

1177
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:40,000
One-one pitch. Shrug out of there's beauty. F.I.T. down and away. Ball once, strike two.

1178
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:54,000
O'Brien has issued a warning to both the coaches to avoid further problems, according to word just turned into our newsroom.

1179
01:45:54,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Nice shoe, Jack Ramsey. Throw to first, he's back safely. Nobody out, that's a tying run at first base.

1180
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Doctor reaching on the error. Duffy Dyer, the catcher. One-two delivery. Swung out, he taps one to the left side.

1181
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Could be trouble, Onabarra's picking up throws. Just in time to get the runner at second base.

1182
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:29,000
A fine recovery on a very slow roller to the left of the cup third baseman, Steve Onabarra's. Cut it to three-oh just barely in time to erase starter.

1183
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:40,000
And we'll have a pinch hitter hit hot. Our catcher. Hot as oil for two is a pinch hitter this year.

1184
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:53,000
That's 11 hits for the seat and one of them a double. One homer driven in six runs. Hot for the 262 batting average. A left-hander.

1185
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:56,000
And the Larry is out of there.

1186
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:07,000
And among the cup seven hits today, a line smash off the bat of Ante Creel into the wind in left field and Bobby Mercer watching one over the right field wall.

1187
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:26,000
And the Cubs as a result of that homer have a three-two lead here in the top of the seventh with one out. Hot, a big swing out of it. Strike one.

1188
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:37,000
Duffy Dyer, the runner at first, Bittner is not holding him on. Laying behind the bag, here's the pitch. The left-hander takes a fast ball outside of the knees. It's one to one.

1189
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Group of senior citizens here today from Loda, Illinois. 46 of them. Robert Curry in charge.

1190
01:47:46,000 --> 01:48:04,000
The stretch by bottom. The pitch. Hot swings, then he misses. What a cut. What a two. Bottom is struck out three. Hit one batter.

1191
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Two. They look for a run in the second and a run in the sixth. One to delivery. Hot swings and he looks a little foul into the seats in the third base side. One and two.

1192
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:37,000
And the school groups here today from St. Paschal School. 31 of them. Bob Hubert in charge. St. Paschal from Chicago.

1193
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:53,000
A nervous ball game. One-two delivery. Hot swings, then jam of the fast ball and he fouls it back and still one and two in the left-hander.

1194
01:48:53,000 --> 01:49:11,000
Group from the Ironworkers District Council of 35. Figure this one out. It's Rags Squirrel Day. One-two pitch. Swim out of his bottom-legged body.

1195
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:32,000
And out hit the pitch hitter has struck out. Two away. Now Omar Marino to be the hitter. Fourth strikeout of the day. The third one was Marino when he let off the sixth inning.

1196
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:44,000
Splendorous feature. Boy, he can fly. Not a great hitter. But he moves the ball around pretty well.

1197
01:49:44,000 --> 01:50:01,000
He moves around a bit in that batter's box. Here's the pitch to him. He swings at him at the bottom of the good fast ball. Bruce Sutter, Barney Shook, still standing shoulder to shoulder down in the bullpen.

1198
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:15,000
A stretch by the right-hander to the pitch. Takes the strike. Change on him and he took one right at the knees. Bottom was probably the best change up of any pitcher in the league.

1199
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:37,000
Had a good fast ball. He is out front on two with a runner at first and two gone at the top of the seventh inning. And the crowd really with it. Here's the stretch. The kick to the pitch. Fast ball. He wasted it high and away. Ball one strike two with the left-hander hitter.

1200
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:58,000
Guarding the line is Klein in left field. Playing this guy to swing late, Burscher gives him right field. One-two-bitch. Swung out of it. Strike three. Blew it tight. And bottom.

1201
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:09,000
He drops him out. His fourth and fifth strikeouts in the ball game here in the seventh inning. And he's getting quite a hand as he goes into the cup dugout.

1202
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:22,000
Seventh inning stretch in Wrigley Field. The score, the Chicago Cubs three, the Pittsburgh Pirates two.

1203
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:33,000
When you brew a beer in God's country, you begin with sparkling pure Wisconsin spring water. Water that flows deep beneath the ground.

1204
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:41,000
Then you pure brew, double brew it in a traditional old world way called poisoning.

1205
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:58,000
Poisoning is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive. Most expensive because it takes more time. But Heilemann's Old Style is one American premium beer that is still fully, that's fully poisoned.

1206
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:18,000
Naturally carbonated. Because at Old Style, we don't aim to make the most beer. Only the best. Taste the difference Kroisney makes. Try Old Style. Pure brewed in God's country.

1207
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:28,000
G. Heilemann Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

1208
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:37,000
One of the big groups we mentioned earlier today that's out here, a couple hundred or so, sitting down the third base line, left field line, waving the cup banner to Bennett.

1209
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:52,000
American Inch Goal. Somebody did a beautiful job with their big banner. Company name over the top is black and then below it in red, big letters is Goal Cubs.

1210
01:52:52,000 --> 01:53:17,000
The next elevation point. Cubs are going so far today. But it's only a long run lead and the splendor right hander gets to Colby. The new pitcher, Candidarius, lifted after working six innings, gave up seven base hits including homers by Treo and Bobby Mercer.

1211
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:35,000
Colby always wears those sun shades, ears down. All right hander. Fired the first pitchers, strike the bottom. Gets a good hand. Colby built just about like a three iron.

1212
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:50,000
He lined up in the pitch. Sinker swung out a miss, nothing in due. They've got a good bull fit but this guy, the deuce rich Garci is coming along well now as Jerry Forster.

1213
01:53:50,000 --> 01:54:07,000
0-2 delivery. Bottom tries to hold up any swing. The pitch is low and outside. He held in time, 1-2. Colby is 1-3 in relief this year. Been in 20 games. An excellent earned run average, 1.63.

1214
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:21,000
Here's the pitch. That is a breaking ball that misses outside. Ball two, strike two. He's about 6'4. Looks like he weighs 100 pounds. Shoken weight.

1215
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:44,000
Starts to wind up. 2-2 pitch. Swung on. He jams him with a sidearm fastball and he hits a foul down the right field side. Telling me before the ball game today that Parker is telling me, and he says, I wish I had your body that slung your waistline and all the rest of it with my muscles.

1216
01:54:44,000 --> 01:55:02,000
Colby says there's no way in the world you can pack that much muscle into this frame. Here's a swing and a ground ball to stockle the first baseman. He flips to the pitcher covering and bottom is out of there. He's open up the bottom to 7th inning.

1217
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Yvonne DeJesus, the hitter. Single still second in the first inning. Nobody could bring him in. And he flied out to the right field of Parker. Rided a bunch but he got it too near the mound. He's last time at bat.

1218
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:35,000
And Condon at Candler area. Starting pitcher. Drew him out. So he's 1 for 3 today. Pirates with 5 hits. The Cubs have 7. And 2, the Cubs hit the Ben Holmers. The Cubs with a 3-2 lead and the Colby winds.

1219
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:51,000
And the hitter flung on. Bounces and fouled on the third base side. He's up there by Garner. Reginald Aldridge tells us that we've got a big group from the Libertyville Post Office out here today.

1220
01:55:51,000 --> 01:56:09,000
They come out to check the mail. The Colby peering through those sunglasses. Hands on his knees. Now stocks the wind and the 0-1 delivery. Taking for a strike.

1221
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:22,000
Nothing and 2 on Yvonne DeJesus. Tomorrow the 2Rs. Russell for the Cubs. Rooker for the Pirates who's slated to be the mound opponent here.

1222
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:41,000
Holgerbich. Sidearm sticking fastball. Ball wasn't striking a little low. Center fielder Marino. Very, very shallow 3-1. About as shallow as I've seen anybody play against him.

1223
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:58,000
He's got a fastball. He takes strike 3. And Yvonne Trenches says, ah, I can't believe it. He does now as he walks back to the dugout. He has looked at strike 3. 2 gone in the seventh inning.

1224
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:12,000
Veteran Doug Harvey working beyond the plate. Not only a fine umpire and a good daugher, but he's a pretty good collector of rare books. Gene Clines 0-3 stepping in.

1225
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:28,000
Slide to left to right and in between he's looked at strike 3. It's all be Yvonne's sidearm curve and he misses low and away. Slow twister. Ball 1 to Clines.

1226
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:48,000
Breeze today coming straight in from center field at about 15, 16 miles an hour. Here's the wind up of the pitch. Swung out of it. Yes, as he took a rip at that one it broke down sharply. Ball 1, strike 1.

1227
01:57:48,000 --> 01:58:05,000
In addition to three wins, Tacoby has three saves this year. Sidearm fastball, a little low. Ball 2, strike 1. Looked like he's just straight up and down.

1228
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:21,000
The wind up 2-1 delivery. Line swings and he bounces it foul. That's the third base side. Goes into the cut dugout. At the end of it, three of them aces kind of sitting together.

1229
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:35,000
Some of the fellows with the warm windbreakers down because that wind coming in. It's a bit on the chilly side if you're out of the sunshine. Dobby with a new ball. Here's down again.

1230
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:56,000
Here's the wind up 2-2 pitch. Swung out of it and he chased a bad one that time. The ball went outside but he couldn't hold up. A pause for station identification. This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network. 80 degrees officially in Chicago at 3.30. This is WGN Radio Chicago.

1231
01:58:56,000 --> 01:59:07,000
Kemp Tacoby perfect strikes out two men. At the end of the seventh at Wrigley Field is still the Chicago Cubs three, the Pittsburgh Pirates two.

1232
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:14,000
When is the week 10 days long? When it's National True Test Paint Week at True Bay hardware store.

1233
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:31,000
From May 25th through June 4th, you'll find True Test paints at special prices. For example, you can choose True Test Easy Care latex potting embell, wash and wear childproof wall paint in white and 44 colors or True Test weather all acrylic latex house paint.

1234
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Latex that flows down easily, dries quickly in white and 35 colors. They're both $8.97 a gallon. True Value hardware stores offer these True Test paints and more at special prices.

1235
01:59:44,000 --> 02:00:01,000
During National True Test Paint Week from May 25th through June 4th at participating True Value hardware stores. No matter where you live, you'll find a True Value hardware store nearby to serve you.

1236
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:25,000
Bill Bottom, the face of two, three and four men in the pirate batting order here in the eighth inning. He's got his work cut out for him.

1237
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:35,000
Daveris, a right-hander to be followed by three lefties if we have to go that far. Dave Parker, Al Oliver and Willie Starko.

1238
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:45,000
Daveris was hit by the first pitch throw in the sixth inning. No second but then was out on interference. Ground ball to the shortstop to Hayses.

1239
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:50,000
Looked like he wanted to bunt. Got way out in front of the plate. The pitch was a strike call. He really didn't try to bunt on it.

1240
02:00:50,000 --> 02:01:00,000
Wanted to see what Daveris' reaction was going to be.

1241
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:08,000
Wind up by Bottom. Tried to bunt the curve and he fouls it over against the wall on the first base right.

1242
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:19,000
He left the batter spot. He left it again. He's way, way out in front of that batter spot. The Nug Harvey has said that's where you were. You're out of it.

1243
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:30,000
And here's Stump Tenner coming to argue that Daveris putting on one of his plays. Flaps the helmet down. Kicks the bat. Now kicks jerk on home plate.

1244
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:34,000
And he is not very far away from being thrown out of this game.

1245
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:48,000
Now, he's putting on a more of a display with his gestures. He is flaming of course. He had a foot in the batter spot.

1246
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:53,000
Now, Harvey is denying it. Stump Tenner and on his end is pretty disgusted.

1247
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:57,000
I tell you, if Harvey saw him throw that helmet, he would have been out.

1248
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:01,000
Or Ryerson saw it. Throwed it cross for the third and they were coming in.

1249
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:08,000
He also kicked that dust on the plate too, Lou. But apparently, throwing a helmet is automatic.

1250
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:15,000
He's gone. Kicking the dust on the plate except for the up-fired gutter.

1251
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:19,000
But Harvey didn't see it.

1252
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:23,000
The young up-fired on his third is Jerry Crawford.

1253
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Fire record, the veteran up-fired at first base.

1254
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:32,000
Apparently, just didn't see it. Now, as they all went back to the dugout, Tenner comes out again.

1255
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:40,000
He said, die, die, die. I'm going to talk to you again, Mr. Harvey.

1256
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:48,000
I'll bet you Tenner's thinking about a protest, asking for an appeal, and Harvey did not take it.

1257
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:55,000
He would not ask the third base up-fire.

1258
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:59,000
He doesn't have to go to another man. No.

1259
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:05,000
He just, when up-fires do that, when a manager asks for an appeal, it's just a courtesy procedure.

1260
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:13,000
But they don't have to. If he says he saw it, he doesn't need any help. That's it. Period.

1261
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:20,000
So credit Tenner all with a put-out, as Taveras got out of the batter's box in an attempt to butt.

1262
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Here's a swing and a ground ball. One hopper to third.

1263
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:31,000
On Taveras has it. Parker is out of there.

1264
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:38,000
One hopper off the bat of Dave Parker. So he is 0 for 4 today.

1265
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:42,000
We've had two calls here a little bit on the weird side today.

1266
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:50,000
With Taveras on its second base after being hit by a pitch and stealing second on a pitch-off.

1267
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:53,000
Parker is mad, hit a ground ball.

1268
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:57,000
Here's a swing and a bouncing ball of the pitch's body. He's just charging in, loves it, throws it around.

1269
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:05,000
Beautiful play. He's got it. Oh man, that's going to be the fastest inning of the day.

1270
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:09,000
4-6. They're out of there.

1271
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:15,000
Now the other one, where Yvonne wanted to come in to make the play, Taveras, not in his way, had to push him out of the way.

1272
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:18,000
That was interference.

1273
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:22,000
And Parker, able to reach on a field of choice here in the eighth.

1274
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:27,000
It's 1-2-3 before you conflict your eyes.

1275
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:35,000
As the Cubs come to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, still leading the Pirates 3-2.

1276
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:38,000
Hello, General Finance, Friendly Bomb Adams speaking.

1277
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:42,000
Hi Bob, is it true that you can arrange a loan for any good reason?

1278
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:44,000
Well, yes, generally.

1279
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,000
Well, is love a good reason?

1280
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:48,000
Uh, who is this?

1281
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:53,000
I put it this way, I really don't need it, but I told him I was in the store to buy it.

1282
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:56,000
I don't think I understand, are you talking about love?

1283
02:04:56,000 --> 02:04:57,000
Oh no, no wardrobe.

1284
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:59,000
I know I don't understand.

1285
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:05,000
Bob, he's the store manager and I really came in to sneak a peek at him. Oh, he's so beautiful, I think I'm really in love with him.

1286
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:06,000
Oh, I see.

1287
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:10,000
Well, when he asked, can I help you, I just blurted out I want a new one.

1288
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:11,000
A new what?

1289
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:13,000
That's what he asked, so I said everything.

1290
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:14,000
Everything?

1291
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:15,000
A whole new wardrobe.

1292
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:16,000
Oh, now I get it.

1293
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:18,000
That's what he expects me to do, so is it alright, Bob?

1294
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:19,000
Is what alright?

1295
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:20,000
A loan for love.

1296
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:23,000
We can just say it's a loan for a new wardrobe.

1297
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,000
Oh, thanks Bob, thanks for the help.

1298
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:30,000
You can always get a little help from a friend at General Finance.

1299
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:37,000
Over 65 General Finance offices in the Chicagoland area, tomorrow up to $10,000.

1300
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Tomorrow and over 3, 2, 0, 2, 0. Also an office in Naperville.

1301
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:54,000
Elk DeBarris, earlier in this ball game, tried to bunt and he was way out in front of the plate on that one and it hit him.

1302
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Then rolled out the rest of the way and he was out on that one.

1303
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:06,000
He ran into his own bunted ball out in fair territory.

1304
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:12,000
He would have been out I think on that play anyway, but he was called out with a put out going to the catcher.

1305
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:16,000
He gets out of that batter's box.

1306
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:25,000
He's going to bunt with his front foot way out in front and then he's almost like a left handed batter trying to drag bunt one.

1307
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:34,000
When you're getting out of that batter's box with a right hander, your tendency is you want to start down to first base and you wind up out of the batter's box.

1308
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:42,000
Now we have a new pitcher, Terry Forster, wanted to do the Chuck Tanner hand with his white socks pitching staff.

1309
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:54,000
While Forster had a tightness in the forearm of his left arm, his pitching arm this year, he's worked out of that and he's been coming along very well.

1310
02:06:54,000 --> 02:07:00,000
Fires the first pitch to Bittner and it's a strike.

1311
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:05,000
Shot ball winds, fast ball, strike ball in the outside corner.

1312
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:11,000
Forster is healthy. This guy can fire the ball.

1313
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:15,000
Tanner says in his last couple of outings he has just been super.

1314
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:20,000
Wind up with a big guy, swing and a drive into left field.

1315
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:22,000
In there for a base hit.

1316
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:40,000
Pick up way over in the left center by the screening Omar Marino and Bittner opens up the bottom of the eighth with an opposite field single after he was in the hole nothing and two.

1317
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:43,000
Terry Forster elected not to waste one.

1318
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:50,000
Here's Bobby Mercer, a Forster in here because you have Bittner and Mercer, two left handers leading off the inning.

1319
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:55,000
Forster has raced in Mercer who holdered off.

1320
02:07:55,000 --> 02:08:04,000
Canvallaria in the sixth inning steps in.

1321
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:14,000
Here's the pitch, fast ball. Bobby takes the strike right at the knee.

1322
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:19,000
Five, five of Mercer's, seven homers this year have come off left handers.

1323
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:33,000
Oh one pitch, where's the way, he's got a button and he pops it foul into the space in the first base side. I've never seen Mercer try to button before.

1324
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:42,000
He won't try it again, the count on him is on two.

1325
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:49,000
Forster now with eight hits for the day. Bottom has issued only five.

1326
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:52,000
Forster, big guy.

1327
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:56,000
Dargo playing about five, six feet off the bag at first in front of the runner.

1328
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:01,000
Edges back a step or so, Forster steps off the pitching rubber.

1329
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:04,000
He's got a right hander throwing into bullpen.

1330
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:12,000
One run lead, would like to increase it, here's the side arm fast ball, he takes it outside, one and two.

1331
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:17,000
And against a left hander like that who comes in almost side arm to him, Mercer holds his ground well.

1332
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:23,000
He doesn't push or get out of the way. He's right in there.

1333
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:30,000
Forster ready. Here is kick over the top and that one's too high, two and two.

1334
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:47,000
Rookie in the bullpen, Odell Jones, he's been warming up earlier today.

1335
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:56,000
Nobody out, runner at first to pitch, Mercer swings, he got him.

1336
02:09:56,000 --> 02:10:02,000
He's got a rebound for Jerry Forster. Wings up Jerry Morata, who's having a perfect day at the plate.

1337
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:18,000
He's blocked, singles, doubles, throw it in a rush.

1338
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:26,000
Here's the pitch and Morata takes the fast ball high, ball one.

1339
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:32,000
The Cubs today drawing 14,593 paves.

1340
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:41,000
Rookie in the bullpen, Odell Jones, he's been warming up earlier today.

1341
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:50,000
Nobody out, runner at first to pitch, Mercer swings, he got him.

1342
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:57,000
Strike out for Jerry Forster. Wings up Jerry Morata, who's having a perfect day at the plate.

1343
02:10:57,000 --> 02:11:12,000
He's got a rebound for Jerry Morata, who's having a perfect day at the plate.

1344
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:30,000
Attendance figures just being given, we'll relay them to you. Here's the pitch and Morata takes the fast ball high, ball one. The Cubs today drawing 14,593 paves.

1345
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:45,000
They've got over the 230,000 mark and paid attendance for the year at home and this is their 21st home date. Fast ball, Forster misses to Morata, Southside 2-0.

1346
02:11:45,000 --> 02:12:00,000
They're up about 23,000 behind the attendance of last year with the same number of home dates. But it'll pick up the viral on Sunday, I guarantee you.

1347
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:16,000
Two world deliveries, Morata swings, high ball, right center field, Parker at the dead line. He'll not get through it.

1348
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:42,000
That's Jerry Morata, his third plate hit of the bottom man. He has counted in his 26th run of the year.

1349
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:58,000
That will be all for Terry Forster. A twingle to Better. He struck out Bobby Mercer. But Jerry Morata now has a twingle, a double, and a triple in that order.

1350
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:14,000
He is having a perfect day. And a rookie right-hander, Odell Jones, is going to be the fourth pirate pitcher of the ball game. But the score, 42 flavors of Cubs, bottom of the eighth inning, one out of run return.

1351
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:18,000
We have a delay in the action. Let's take time out for this message.

1352
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:29,000
Fans, when you think about it, signs are important to the ebb and flow of any baseball game. There's a sign for hit and run, signs to steal, but, and a whole lot more to remember.

1353
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:40,000
Now when it comes to the ebb and flow of beer drinking, there's only one sign you have to remember. And that's the sign on bottles or cans of Heilman's Old Style.

1354
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:56,000
What gives this beer its great light flavor? Well, Old Style is brewed in God's country, where the skies are clear, the air is clean and crisp, and the sparkling pure Wisconsin spring water flows from deep beneath the ground.

1355
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:08,000
Some folks say all the way from Canada. With water like this, when you brew a beer once, you've got a good beer. But when you brew a beer twice, you've got a great light beer.

1356
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:32,000
This double brewing, pure brewing process is called croisoning. It's the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive. Try Old Style, pure brewed, in God's country.

1357
02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:39,000
Manny Treo is going to step in against the rookie right-hander, Odell Jones.

1358
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:45,000
One-on-one for the air with a higher in front of him, 6.75, this is his eighth appearance.

1359
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:55,000
Worked 10 and two-thirds innings, and Manny Treo with the pirate infield in on the grass, takes his fastball for a ball outside.

1360
02:14:55,000 --> 02:15:02,000
This guy looks like he hasn't had a square meal though in a month.

1361
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:12,000
1-0 pitch, slug out of it.

1362
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:20,000
Manny, over to the fourth, that gave the cups a 2-1 lead. Let me tell you, he hammered it right into the wind.

1363
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:28,000
The pitch takes a pretty good cut at a fastball, fouls it upstairs, out of play to the right.

1364
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:39,000
Jerry Morales has walked, single, doubled, and tripled in that order, and he's now a 286 hitter as he stands over his third, not tripled his first of the year.

1365
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:50,000
1-2 pitch, Manny's flanks with the high, fly ball to Punter in right field. He circles, he gets under it on the run, Ramos tags, and he better get back.

1366
02:15:50,000 --> 02:16:10,000
Throw to the catcher to iron, only would have had him maybe by 40 feet. He's gone.

1367
02:16:10,000 --> 02:16:24,000
We know it is his first of the year. They say that that's Manny's, or Morales' first triple since October of 1974 when he hit one against these pirates.

1368
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:31,000
I think that was over there on the artificial surface.

1369
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:41,000
Couldn't believe he didn't have one all last year. He started today hitting 269, and that's showing now hitting 286.

1370
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:49,000
Steve Ranavers is going to be put on intentionally.

1371
02:16:49,000 --> 02:17:04,000
He's left handed, of course, which is what he would do. George Punterwald is going to be the next hitter following this intentional walk.

1372
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:15,000
Mercer, after the pirates tied it up, hit a homer off Candelaria to the right field. That gave the Cubs a 3-2 lead.

1373
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:20,000
Here, Occhari Forster is single by Bittner.

1374
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:27,000
Bobby Mercer then struck out, but Morales hit a triple in the right center field, driving in Bittner.

1375
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:41,000
And Treo, wide out into shadow right field, a parker. Morales holding, and Odaveras just receives an intentional walk from the rookie O'Dell Jones.

1376
02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:46,000
George Punterwald didn't have much luck against Candelaria.

1377
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:55,000
Wide to right, rounded out, wide to left, 0-3 for the day, steps in, and the infield drops back.

1378
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:59,000
Dugard, Cubs with a 4-2 lead in the eighth, here's the pitch.

1379
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:02,000
Fastball in too tight.

1380
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:04,000
Sky Lue looks like he's got a real good arm, doesn't he?

1381
02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:09,000
Yes, he has. This is only his third major league game.

1382
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:18,000
Janor likes him. He says he's got a good live fastball.

1383
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:20,000
1-0 delivery.

1384
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:29,000
Checks his swing. It's up a little high, and he held up in time, 2-0.

1385
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:40,000
I thought they showed him having been in seven games.

1386
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:44,000
No deference, he's a rookie. 2-0 pitch.

1387
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:48,000
He was overanxious, and he went after one down and away.

1388
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:52,000
Well, she can't blame him. The pitcher bottomed him up next.

1389
02:18:52,000 --> 02:19:00,000
Minnowald wants to take his cuts. I was looking at their press book and not their staff.

1390
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:05,000
There's a curve blown outside, 3-1.

1391
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:15,000
He started this year with only two major league games, and he's been in several this year already.

1392
02:19:15,000 --> 02:19:19,000
Try to find their stats, and that's a Chinese puzzle too.

1393
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:26,000
3-1 pitch. Look, he almost got hit by a fastball. That's ball four.

1394
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:32,000
The Flyers are the only team that I know of.

1395
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:38,000
Hey, Bonham. Bonham is one of the lefties.

1396
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:43,000
For the first-getter.

1397
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:46,000
With the base is loaded.

1398
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:51,000
He's got to get a standing ovation when you're taken out of the ballgame for a pitch hitter.

1399
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:55,000
They deserved it. He has pitched fervently.

1400
02:19:55,000 --> 02:20:00,000
But Herman Franks, with the bases jammed here in the eighth inning and a two-run lead,

1401
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:04,000
knows that Bonham has gone hard. I don't know how many pitches he's thrown though,

1402
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:12,000
but he has been a very tough performer today, and it's been a kind of a ballgame where he's had to keep bearing down all the time.

1403
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:16,000
Brother, when you've got a fellow like Suter, why gamble? You're taking a chance.

1404
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:23,000
Even if we lose the ballgame, the percentages certainly say, go with Suter for one inning.

1405
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:29,000
Buckner is going to bat for him, and Buckner, as a French hitter,

1406
02:20:29,000 --> 02:20:35,000
has called upon seven times as three hits and three runs butted in.

1407
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:42,000
I love this Pirate stat sheet. Neither they list them alphabetically, every club does.

1408
02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:46,000
That's the way most of them do, because that's the easiest way to find them.

1409
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:54,000
But you have to know the Pirate uniform numbers to find out where their guys are.

1410
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:59,000
If you tried to do that with every ball club, you'd really be in trouble.

1411
02:20:59,000 --> 02:21:09,000
Now the windup with the bases jammed, and Buckner is going to take the first pitch as a strike, a fastball.

1412
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:14,000
A four-to-two lead.

1413
02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:19,000
And the victory moves the Cubs to within a half game of the Pirates' 0-1 delivery.

1414
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:23,000
Buckner swings, ground ball, into the glove of Suter.

1415
02:21:23,000 --> 02:21:31,000
The Cubs are going to hand pass to the pitcher covering, and Buckner just missed, pulling one through the right side of the infield.

1416
02:21:31,000 --> 02:21:38,000
The Cubs in the eighth inning pick up a run on two hits, two walks, one of them intentional.

1417
02:21:38,000 --> 02:21:44,000
The bases left-motored, and at the end of it, Pirates come to bat.

1418
02:21:44,000 --> 02:21:47,000
It'll be startle, stunted, and corner, and we hope that's all.

1419
02:21:47,000 --> 02:21:53,000
The Chicago Cubs four, the Pittsburgh Pirates two.

1420
02:21:53,000 --> 02:21:59,000
Think you could eat 40 bananas in 39 minutes? Anthony Fick did it.

1421
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:05,000
He set that record in 1967. Says so right here in the Guinness Book of World Records.

1422
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:08,000
How could anyone eat so much so fast?

1423
02:22:08,000 --> 02:22:15,000
This is Mike Pyle saying we'll probably never know the answer to that, but there are some records that are easily explained.

1424
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:18,000
For instance, the current record for selling new Oldsmobiles.

1425
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:21,000
It's held by Weill Olds in Libertyville.

1426
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:25,000
Weill sells more New Oldsmobiles than any other dealer in the world.

1427
02:22:25,000 --> 02:22:33,000
Why? Why do people come from Chicago, from all over the state, even from neighboring states, to buy their New Oldsmobiles from Weill?

1428
02:22:33,000 --> 02:22:42,000
You won't find the answer in the record book, but you will find it in Libertyville, Illinois, home of the world's largest Oldsmobile dealer, Weill Olds.

1429
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:50,000
Plan to drive out real soon. You'll probably get out to Libertyville faster than it takes Anthony Fick to eat 40 bananas.

1430
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:58,000
With all the cars they're taking in trade, Weill Olds has become a used car shopper's paradise.

1431
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:01,000
We should have let the boss do that one, don't you think?

1432
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:03,000
I don't know why not.

1433
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:05,000
Do you want to do that?

1434
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:07,000
He's on a holiday.

1435
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:11,000
He charged us, wouldn't he?

1436
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:14,000
We'll charge him if he does it again.

1437
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:24,000
Irwin Weill, Weill the boss man out at Weill Olds in Libertyville out here today, and he hasn't moved a muscle now since the gums took the lead.

1438
02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:27,000
Not that he's superstitious.

1439
02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:30,000
He doesn't have a muscle to move.

1440
02:23:35,000 --> 02:23:39,000
You don't fall on a plantation straw hat, do you?

1441
02:23:39,000 --> 02:23:43,000
It's not a plantation straw.

1442
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:50,000
Irwin's a fellow who was at Red Claw's back with this winter.

1443
02:23:50,000 --> 02:23:55,000
He decided he wanted Ernie Banks' bet, and the auctioning got to be pretty high.

1444
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:59,000
Irwin just thought he'd silence everybody.

1445
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:04,000
All he did was they did $800 for it, and he got it.

1446
02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:09,000
He could have gotten a suit of clothes with it, too.

1447
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:18,000
What a premiere of relief pitchers in the business.

1448
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:20,000
Bruce Tudor.

1449
02:24:20,000 --> 02:24:26,000
See if he can hold on to the wind for Bill Bottom, who worked eight strong innings.

1450
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:30,000
Right-handed delivers, and Stachel takes it to ball a little bit low.

1451
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:34,000
Stachel, Stinnett, and Garter.

1452
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:37,000
Stachel, of course, will let me.

1453
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:40,000
As the swing and he fouls, that went out of play to the left side.

1454
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:44,000
He looked like he had himself a home run in the fourth inning.

1455
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:52,000
He had a shot to let field, and for all the world, it looked like it had to go into the seats, but the wind pushed it back in.

1456
02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:54,000
It was caught by Gene Clines.

1457
02:24:54,000 --> 02:24:57,000
Wind could not hold, and he treals shot in.

1458
02:24:57,000 --> 02:25:00,000
It went into the bleachers in there.

1459
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:03,000
There's a ball a little low on the fork ball, two and one.

1460
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:11,000
Stachel was walked intentionally in the sixth inning, and when he stinted a blight,

1461
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:15,000
the Cubs, by bouncing out to one of errors, had retired the side.

1462
02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:21,000
Stachel was robbed by Jerry Morales of an extra base hit.

1463
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:25,000
His first time at bat today. Good running catch on him.

1464
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:29,000
There's the fork ball. It's a little bit low. Three and one.

1465
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:36,000
Even though the wind is blowing in, everybody is keeping the outfield.

1466
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:41,000
Here's the pitch. Run out of good fastball. Bounces fouled into the seats in the first base side.

1467
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:43,000
Ball three, he's strike two.

1468
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:53,000
In case you've forgotten, Bruce Suter's earned run average, a cluttering 0.73.

1469
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:57,000
Three-two pitch. What a catch, Stachel took.

1470
02:25:57,000 --> 02:25:59,000
What a catch, Stachel took.

1471
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:02,000
He got him with a beautiful front ball.

1472
02:26:06,000 --> 02:26:08,000
What a cut, Stachel took.

1473
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:18,000
That for Suter is 39 strikeouts this year in 37 and a third innings.

1474
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:21,000
He has walked only two minutes.

1475
02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:24,000
39 strikeouts.

1476
02:26:24,000 --> 02:26:28,000
When he stinted a right hander steps in, swung on.

1477
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:38,000
Ground ball, he hits the play over on the third base side and the ball hit normally where I thought it would be.

1478
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:40,000
So it's in the base hit.

1479
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:43,000
I'm surprised that he's playing him that far over, though.

1480
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:52,000
I think this is the first time in this ball game that he's played to stint it that far over to the left.

1481
02:26:52,000 --> 02:27:00,000
He probably figures that Suter with that fork ball will make him hit the ball on the ground and will pull it.

1482
02:27:02,000 --> 02:27:10,000
The other pirates have a potential tying run at the plate in the version of Bill Garner.

1483
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:12,000
That for any stint, it's his third hit today.

1484
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:16,000
Remember when he had seven out here one day last year?

1485
02:27:16,000 --> 02:27:20,000
There's a strike called on Garner.

1486
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:24,000
He's one for three today and a single drove and a run in the second inning.

1487
02:27:24,000 --> 02:27:27,000
Armahawk one day.

1488
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:30,000
There's a swing and a miss.

1489
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:33,000
Nothing and two.

1490
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:39,000
And Suter kept that one just above the knees and the right-hander hitting Garner.

1491
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Four to two score. Comes out in front.

1492
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:46,000
And Suter trying to hold onto it.

1493
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:48,000
Right hander ready.

1494
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:50,000
Pitch. Garner swings. He got a piece of it.

1495
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:53,000
Drops it back foul. Nothing and two yet.

1496
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:01,000
Cleo and Mercer have homeored today.

1497
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:04,000
Gary Morales now playing in deep center field.

1498
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:07,000
A walk, a single, a double, a triple in that order.

1499
02:28:07,000 --> 02:28:12,000
And he's batted in two with a four-cup run and made a very fine catch.

1500
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:13,000
Suter ready. Oh, two pitch.

1501
02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:15,000
Garner takes a look out.

1502
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:22,000
There's one that into the dirt and bounces all the way back up high under the screen.

1503
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:26,000
That will be a wild pitch.

1504
02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:30,000
Now they have a man in scoring position.

1505
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:40,000
What it does is pretty much eliminate the possibility of a double play.

1506
02:28:40,000 --> 02:28:43,000
Go get him.

1507
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:45,000
Garner ready.

1508
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:49,000
Garner straight at the net. He got him.

1509
02:28:49,000 --> 02:28:54,000
Got him with the ball inside court ball that time.

1510
02:28:54,000 --> 02:29:00,000
Strike out, a single, a wild pitch. A strike out.

1511
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:06,000
Duffy Dyer is due to bat.

1512
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:09,000
Like Bill Robinson.

1513
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:17,000
Bill Robinson as a fin-getter this year, no hits in seven at bats.

1514
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:22,000
He is batting for Dyer.

1515
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:26,000
Walk once, a hit and run with a man out of the second inning.

1516
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:34,000
Dyer struck out and middle wall, perfect bag, nailed Garner for a double play.

1517
02:29:34,000 --> 02:29:39,000
He forced Garner with his ground ball down to Baris in the seventh inning.

1518
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:42,000
And Urban Franks called with everybody around.

1519
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:45,000
I guess Louie wants to be sure they know how to pitch to this guy.

1520
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:47,000
This is true as a pitch-hitter.

1521
02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:52,000
They've gone over the lineup of course and everybody earlier this morning.

1522
02:29:52,000 --> 02:30:00,000
But by four o'clock perhaps they have forgotten this particular hitter and pitch-hitter.

1523
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:06,000
Everybody wants those infielders to play back and knock down this ball and also guard the line.

1524
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:09,000
We do not want this man to get a double.

1525
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:12,000
Bill Robinson, an awfully tough hitter.

1526
02:30:12,000 --> 02:30:16,000
I said he's 0 for 7 as a pinch-hitter.

1527
02:30:16,000 --> 02:30:20,000
He has 18 hits for the year and a.257 batting area.

1528
02:30:20,000 --> 02:30:22,000
He's got power.

1529
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:29,000
He has two homers, 14 runs batted in.

1530
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:31,000
He's got the standard.

1531
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:33,000
Play first base, he can play the outfield.

1532
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:36,000
They're not happy at times because he hasn't been in the regular lineup.

1533
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:44,000
First pitch to him and Stutter fires a strike on the inside corner.

1534
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:46,000
Roderick second, ninth inning with Dugard.

1535
02:30:46,000 --> 02:30:49,000
Cubs leading 4-2, Stutter into the stretch.

1536
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:50,000
Here it comes.

1537
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:54,000
Swung out a high fly ball, couldn't beat the ball game.

1538
02:30:54,000 --> 02:30:59,000
He rides, says, I got it, baby.

1539
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:00,000
He's out.

1540
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:08,000
And the Cubs win.

1541
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:12,000
Zero bottom, the winning pitcher, blue-sitter getting a save.

1542
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:20,000
And the first of the three game set goes to the Chicago Cubs by a score of 4-2.

1543
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:28,000
In today's world of lead-free gasoline, responsibility to public need is as important as product quality.

1544
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:33,000
This commitment to meet the Midwest driving needs has made Amaco the lead-free leader.

1545
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:39,000
Now comes new Amaco premium lead-free, the higher octane lead-free gasoline.

1546
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:43,000
For cars old and new that need higher octane to run the way they should,

1547
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:49,000
Amaco premium lead-free has higher octane than typical unleaded gasoline.

1548
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:53,000
And it has higher octane than regular leaded gasoline as well.

1549
02:31:53,000 --> 02:31:59,000
There are two ways to tell whether your car may need Amaco premium lead-free's higher octane.

1550
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:05,000
It may knock or theme when you accelerate, or it may run on after you turn off the key.

1551
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:11,000
If this sounds like your car, use new Amaco premium lead-free in the gold pump.

1552
02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:18,000
If you don't have these problems, use lead-free Amaco in the blue pump, the Midwest best-selling lead-free.

1553
02:32:18,000 --> 02:32:22,000
Now your independent standard oil dealer gives you this choice.

1554
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:26,000
You expect more from a leader.

1555
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:35,000
Well, before we give it a happy total, let's run down on this exciting ball game today.

1556
02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:37,000
We've got to take time off for station identification.

1557
02:32:37,000 --> 02:32:41,000
This is WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

1558
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:46,000
And this is WGN Radio Chicago. It's 4-0-1.

1559
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:59,000
All right. The Cubs four runs, nine hits, including a pair of homers, and a perfect day for Gary Morales.

1560
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:05,000
One error. Eight men left. The Pirates two runs, six hits. No errors. They left six men.

1561
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:08,000
And that tells you something about the Cubs pitching today.

1562
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:12,000
They left only six men straddle and had only six hits.

1563
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:17,000
Bill Bottom, the fur bait innings, earns his sixth win of the year.

1564
02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:22,000
And Bruce Sutter, coming in to pitch the ninth inning, earns another save.

1565
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:27,000
How many does he have now? An even dozen.

1566
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:37,000
And John Candelaria, who'd come in here with the best-earned run average among the starting pitchers in the National League, 1.63,

1567
02:33:37,000 --> 02:33:43,000
had been unbeaten, had never lost to the Cubs. He was 3-0 lifetime against the Cubs.

1568
02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:50,000
He suffers his first loss of the season. Big young left-hander, now 6-1.

1569
02:33:50,000 --> 02:33:55,000
Two hours and 27 minutes of real excitement, Luke.

1570
02:33:55,000 --> 02:34:02,000
Well, it was a tremendous victory for the Cubs. And for the fans here, they actually saw everything that could happen,

1571
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:10,000
practically in a ball game. And you don't see a couple of plays called very often, even during the year.

1572
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:17,000
Very seldom will you see an interference call, and a man on second base with a ground ball get to the shortstop.

1573
02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:25,000
Tavares stayed in front of DeJesus. And the rules state that you have to give that infielder an opportunity to feel the ball.

1574
02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:34,000
He was called out on an interference call. Then, on an attempted bunt, Tavares was called out when he left the batter's box,

1575
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:43,000
according to Doug Harvey, in attempting to bunt the ball. And a hard ground ball through the pitcher's legs hits second base

1576
02:34:43,000 --> 02:34:46,000
and bounces as high as that did. That's the worst of it.

1577
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:48,000
Why on earth? I think I've never seen it.

1578
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:56,000
Well, I told you the ball hit lighter this year. But that ball bounced way over Tavares' head.

1579
02:34:56,000 --> 02:35:02,000
He caught it, and they threw out Bittner by a step and a half. Something that you never see.

1580
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:09,000
But when these two ball cubs get together, there's a lot of action, and all the action today was favorable.

1581
02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:10,000
It was for the Cubs.

1582
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:15,000
Well, that ball, the one of Bittner's you're talking about, got by the pitcher. I called it a hit right away.

1583
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:16,000
Had to be.

1584
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:17,000
Yeah.

1585
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:18,000
Even if it hits the bag.

1586
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:19,000
Oh, yeah.

1587
02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:24,000
I've been in this game, well, not as long as you, but the ball hits the bag.

1588
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:29,000
I've very often seen the ball bounce that high.

1589
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:30,000
That was wild.

1590
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:31,000
So it's livelier.

1591
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:39,000
And it did get a drop for sure of a run-by at the end, because right after that, he's done a home run over the right field wall.

1592
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:42,000
But that's all right. The Cubs went in 4-2.

1593
02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:54,000
And there's not much breathing room now for the Pirates in this Eastern Division, because their lead over the Cubs has now shriveled to a mere half game.

1594
02:35:54,000 --> 02:36:02,000
Let me tell you, for the Cubs, it's their 19th win in this month away. They've lost only five ball games.

1595
02:36:02,000 --> 02:36:13,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates had come in here. They'd won 17 out of 22. So they now are 17-6. The Cubs, 19-5.

1596
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:19,000
Well, there should be a lot more excitement out here at Wrigley Field tomorrow. You say, yeah, how can there be any more than that?

1597
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:24,000
You never know. That's the great thing about baseball. And I hope that you're going to join us here tomorrow afternoon.

1598
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:28,000
We'll be back with a word about the pitching assignments and so forth and that one.

1599
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:37,000
Our broadcast today has been brought to us by the G. Hyllman Brewing Company from across Wisconsin, the makers of Old Style.

1600
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:44,000
The pure or brewed beer from Cots country, the old style, tasted good here today.

1601
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:52,000
True value hot bird stores, if you use it in and out of or around your home, you'll find it in Bay Les Fort at true value.

1602
02:36:52,000 --> 02:37:03,000
General Finances 65, Chicagoland offices. To borrow up to $10,000, call Friendly Bob Adams at end over 3-2-0-2-0.

1603
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:11,000
And by fireside, Chrysler. Fireside, Chrysler Plymouth, Mazda, located in Gulf Road, just west of Route 53.

1604
02:37:11,000 --> 02:37:15,000
And the Woodfield Shopping Center.

1605
02:37:15,000 --> 02:37:23,000
Tomorrow at our day at Wrigley Field, Rick Rushell is scheduled to be the starting pitcher for the Cubs.

1606
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:28,000
Big right-hander now with a record of six wins, two losses.

1607
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:34,000
And his mound opponent, left-hander Jim Rooker, who has won four and lost two for the Bucks.

1608
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:40,000
Morales a perfect day at the plate. A walk, a single, a double, a triple in that order.

1609
02:37:40,000 --> 02:37:43,000
Maybe he can pick up tomorrow with a home run. He's first out at bat, huh?

1610
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:50,000
And hit for the cycle in two days. He drove in a pair of runs, three of a home run for the Cubs today, as did Bobby Mercer.

1611
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:54,000
Bottom earning of victory is sixth of the year, and Candelaria is a loser.

1612
02:37:54,000 --> 02:38:00,000
Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau, hope you enjoyed the broadcast. I know we enjoyed bringing it to you.

1613
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:13,000
Jack Minimanjur, producer, Al Aldrich, a Ringenier. The Cubs again a winner, four to two. This is the WGN Chicago Cubs Baseball Network.
