2002 CBA World Series Recap
Game 1: Denver clobbers Baltimore 10-5. Both teams used their fourth starters to open after a seven-game series.
Game 2: Denver wins 1-0. Denver’s third starter, Middleton, was outstanding with seven shutout innings. Figueroa gave up a cheap run and that was one too many.
Denver is going back home with a two-game lead AND their two best pitchers available.
Game 3: Denver wins 6-3. Jesus De La Cruz left with a 6-1 lead after eight innings and the bullpen managed to hold on. Denver bats are feasting on Baltimore pitching.
Game 4: Denver wins 10-2 behind Hancock. It’s a sweep! What a stunning upset.
The Denver Miners win the series 4-0. This is CBA championship #1 for Denver. The Miners have a losing record over their 22-year history, and have only made the playoffs four times. They barely got in this year as the division champion with an 83-79 record.
Denver scored an average of eight runs per game when they weren’t facing a pitcher named Figueroa. Those other Baltimore pitchers are pretty good. The league will be buzzing about this one for a long time.
**********
Game Score: 99
My score this year was slightly below last year’s perfect 100, but still pretty amazing. I failed to show a profit so I conclude that these astronomical scores have everything to do with the low expectations of my owner. But hey, the game says I am a genius, and who am I to argue with Markus?
