May 26th, 1992
We are at Wrigley and desperate to turn our season around.
Today the Cubs are pitching Chris Bosio (2-1, 1.86).
The Giants have John Burkett (3-6, 3.07).
I am hitting second today.
I came up in the 1st with Robby Thompson on 1st. I hit into a double play.
Jesse Barfield led off the 3rd with a home run!
I came up the tinning with two out and John on 1st. I grounded out to Randy Velarde at short.
Giants lead 1-0
I took care of a Paul O'Neill grounder for the final out of the inning.
I then came up in the 6th with one out and Robby on 2nd. I grounded out to Velarde again.
In the bottom of the 6th, Chris Hoiles scored on a Velarde single.
Game tied 1-1
I took care of a Bret Barberie grounder for the last out in the 7th.
Mark Ross came in to pitch for us in the 8th.
I led off the top of the 9th, now facing Mitch Williams. I lined out to Tim Barker at 3rd.
Jeff Russell got the nod for the bottom half.
I took care of a tough Barker grounder for the 2nd out behind him.
I then handled another Barberie grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 10th.
We los due to an error. With two out Craig Grebeck threw a grounder away to allow Hoiles to stand on 1st. O'Neill then got an RBI double, giving the Cubs a walk off, 2-1 win.
We are cursed.
I didn't help, going 0 for 4.
