For the first 18 innings of the series on the Southside the Pirates were scoreless. That is about all that needs to be said about the 1st two games. Two pitchers that noone has ever heard of shut the bucs out. The pitching was there but the offense was non existent.
Hinske ended the drought with an RBI double in the 1st inning of the 3rd and final game, and not another run was scored before Hinske also hit a solo shot in the 8th to cut the lead to 3-2. Bobby Jenks made quick work of Brandon Moss and Diaz-- who looked solid again today. Then Jack Flash steps up without a home run all year and smacks a fastball into the 10th row to tie it up. Jenks had not let up a run in a save situation the entire year.
Nyjer Morgan doubles on the 1st pitch.
Delwyn Young drives him in.
Capps strikes out the side in the 9th-- As stunned after this as the Wilson homerun
Game.
*As the Blackhawks realized that the ChiSox had just given up a lead in the 9th, they decided it would be a good idea to just screw the city of Chicago, and ESPN Chicago completely and let the Wings destroy there lives.
Notes:
- Sanchez and Nyjer finallyyyy hit in the finale. Terrible through the 1st two games.
- Have to somehow get Delwyn Young and Craig Monroe more starts
- Every player in the finale had a hit, 6 with multiple hits
- Grabow is 3-0 to go along with his +5 E.R.A.
- We continue our Tour of Chicago with Maholm Tomorrow vs the Cubbies on the North Side
- Hinske> Adam LaRoche
- Andy LaRoche is hitting .287 with another 10 game hitting streak--- Just think about that and remember the first 6 games of the season when he couldn't hit off of a tee.
