I can hardly believe it, but I've mowed down another games played milestone. This was the 800th game I've played in the Statis Pro season.
800.
It's weird to think about, and even weirder to think I'm 80% of the way to a thousand. It's been a lot of flips of the ol' Fast Action Cards.
Dick Ruthven of the Cubs and Steve Carlton of the Phillies were trading goose eggs across the first four frames of the game. In the top of the fifth, though, Juan Samuel put the first run on the board with a solo homer. The Cubs tied it in the bottom half when Bob Dernier smoked a two-out double to plate Ron Cey.
The Cubs took a two-run lead in the bottom of the sixth on back to back RBIs from Cey and Jody Davis. Ruthven completed the seventh inning and got pulled for a pinch hitter. The Cubbies sent their best reliever, Warren Brusstar, to the mound to get the last six outs.
He. Got. SHELLED.
When the smoke cleared he allowed six runs off three homers, including a three-run job to Joe Lefebvre to give the Phillies the lead. Yet another back breaking loss for Chicago...I can't win with them!!
