Get Outta Town
August 30. Pittsburgh. PNC Park. Under a gray late-summer sky, two battered ballclubs battled it out. The game may not have been big, but the numbers were:
- 11 innings
- 19 runs
- 40 hits
- 35 singles
- 28 men LOB
- 13 pitchers
- 8 walks
- 17 strikeouts.
From the Pirates' perspective, the biggest numbers were the 10 runs they scored versus the nine runs the Cubs scored, which added up to 53, as in victories, and three, as in sweep. For a second night in a row, they did it by coming from behind in extra innings, this time courtesy of a two-out, two-run single from -- who else? -- Freddie Sanchez, who continues to stake his claim to folk hero status in Pittsburgh. With the hit, the guy finished the day at a measly .347 for the season -- "measly" because he's hitting an absurd .423 with runners in scoring position.
Idea for movie remake: "The Devil and Freddie Sanchez."
How well are things going for Freddie? In his pivotal at-bat, he spun a weak nubber up the first base line that twisted foul a nanosecond before Derrek Lee grabbed it (he would beg to differ). Reprieved, he managed to plunk one the opposite way just over the outstretched glove of the unfortunate Mr. Lee, and moments later he was being pummeled by his teammates.
The whole sequence led to a memorable take from the beleaguered Dusty Baker. As the Chicago Sun-Times put it,
"If the questionable roller was foul, video replay suggested it was by a razor-thin margin."
Responded Dusty:
''But it seems like 'razor-thin' always cuts us."
Talk about your cutting-edge commentary.
Later, Dusty, at least to these buccin' ears, sounded like a guy doing a "Saturday Night Live" routine:
''Boy! Our guys battled and fought. ... I thought Ronny Cedeno's run in the 11th would be enough. That was real tough. Damn!''
Gosh-darn the luck! Gee-whillikers!
Well, the Buccin' Ear advises himself and all Pirate fans to enjoy it. It's now off to St. Louis to meet Chris Carpenter and a bunch of red-hatted guys undoubtedly still sore from that three-game sweep in Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago. Let's hope RG and Company can find some spirit in St. Louis.
As for the Cubs, to quote '60s supergroup The Happenings, "See You in September" (4-7). Talk about a battle of the titans.

Dusty out-Tracy'd Tracy himself.
"I have no idea how Freddy hit that pitch," Tracy said. "There aren't many players in the major leagues who could have done that. He takes some unorthodox swings, but he is always is able to get his plane on the same plane as the ball and makes solid contact."
