gar-pai" 8The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, April 5, 1988 Sports " Peydexpeirlt Craig's cohesive Giants to capture the West again; Reds, Dodgers next in line 1. San Francisco The Giants have a wealth of talent, but more importantly, in Roger Craig they have a manager who can mold that talent into a title-winning team. The starting pitching is strong, but some, such as Rick Reuschel (13-9, 3.09 ERA) have to be considered questionable due to their age. Mike Krukow, Dave Dravecky, Mike LaCoss and young Kelly Downs make up the rest of a fine staff. In the offseason, the Giants picked up Brett Butler (.295, 33 steals) from Cleveland to replace the departed Chili Davis in an awesome lineup. First baseman Will Clark is a Sports Illustrated coverboy, and Robby Thompson, Kevin Mitchell and Candy Maldonado are others who should give opposing pitchers into nightmares. The bench is strong, with Mike Aldrete (.325) leading the way. In addition, the bullpen is tough the 1-2 punch of Don Robinson and fireballer Scott Garrelts can slam anybody's door. Craig was masterful last year with this mix of young promise and coming-into-their-own veterans, and he should find himself in the playoffs again this year without much trouble. 2. Cincinnati We know Eric Davis is awesome, but the major problem keeping the Reds from the pennant is finding some clout at the plate to keep opposing pitchers from serving 4E' low-and-outside junk. The Reds made a number of offseason moves and tried to solve their major problem from last year pitching. As a result of the wheeling-and-dealing, they could be very strong. Danny Jackson (9-18, 4.02) could finally win big. Tom Browning, Dennis Rasmussen and Ron Robinson complete the rotation. As for the lineup, Pete Rose's boys are young and strong, with rookie Jeff Treadway, Barry Larkin, Kal Daniels AjBEST FILM!

West (.334, 26 HR in 108 games) and Tracy Jones (.290) following after Davis in the promise department. 3. Houston The West's version of the St. Louis Cardinals, the Astros have long been a team dominated by speed and pitching. But while their glaring lack of power could be excused in the past, it is a gaping wound this season. Only Glenn Davis (.251, 27 HR, 97 RBI) can empty the bases with any sort of consistency, and his average is a testament to his extended efforts. The same cast of Bill Doran (.283, 79 RBI, 31 steals), Denny Walling, Alan Ashby, Kevin Bass and Billy Hatcher returns, with one exception Rafael Ramirez, who will shine now that he is out away from that horrible Atlanta infield. The pitching is, as usual, very good. The rotation of Mike Scott, Nolan Ryan, Jim Deshaies and Bob Knepper is the best in the West, and Dave Smith (24 saves, 1.65 ERA) is a top-notch reliever. 4. Los Angeles "Kirk! Kirk!" theyll scream in Tinseltown, and they won't mean Douglas. But for all the money they gave the man without razors, the Dodgers should Ve gone after some guys who can field or protect leads. Tom Lasorda (would L.A. be big enough for him and Jim Valvano?) will be shrieking and eating lasagna because of the troubles this team will see. They do have Kirk Gibson (.277, 24 HR, 79 RBI), frail Mike Marshall (.294, 16, 72), Steve Sax and Pedro Guerrero (.338, 27, 89) are as strong a group as anybody in the league, and Mike Scioscia and John Shelby are 9:30 ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS Best Foreign Language Film Best Original Screenplay WINNERS GOLDEN DON -VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 1987 BEST FOREIGN FILM LOS ANGELES FILM CRITICS ASSOCIATION "A FLAT OUT PERFECT FILM.

If the bullpen continues its Swiss cheese reputation, despite the pickups of Jesse Orosco and Jay Howell, you have a Dodger team that really looks bad. Of course, the starting pitching, as always, will bail them out. The combo of Fernando Valenzuela (14-14, 3.98) and Orel Hershiser (16-16, 3.06) is an exquisite one. But when general manager Fred Claire gave up righ thander Bob Welch in an offseason trade, he blew the Dodgers' title hopes out into the L.A. smog. 5. San Diego This is a nice club that didn't deserve its 1442 start last year. In the off-season, the Padres got rid of Goose Gossage and Steve Garvey, to let some of their youth shine, and that's precisely what will happen. Leading the charge will be MVP caliber outfielder Tony Gywnn, who hit .370 last year with a bad hand. Backing him up will be bruising John Kruk (.313, 20 HR, 91 RBI), Chris Brown, Stan Jefferson, newcomer Keith Moreland and last year's Rookie of the Year, Benito Santiago (.300, 18, 79). 6. Atlanta Oh, boy. Why couldn't Ted Turner leave well enough alone six years ago, with Brett Butler and Brook Jacoby blossom ing? Turner is all thumbs when it comes to baseball, and he should sell the team to someone who won't make any more bonehead trades. Dale Murphy is the centerpiece of this squad, and he has some support in Dion James (.312) and Gerald Perry (42 steals). The pitching could be downright nasty if Zane Smith's aching elbow is worse than he's letting on. Rick Mahler is the other bright spot, but then you get youngsters Tom Glavine, Kevin Coffman and some others who need more minor-league seasoning. Bruce Sutter is trying to come back from rotator cuff woes, but unless a miracle takes place, you can pencil this squad in for the cellar. Not even Chuck Tanner's optimism can save this team. Kansas. Mao mi 5 n r From Associated Press reports KANSAS CITY, Mo. Danny Manning scored 31 points and grabbed 18 rebounds as unranked Kansas won its second national championship with an 83-79 victory over No. 4 Oklahoma Monday night to become the losingest champion in NCAA Tournament history.

New York The Mets have not only supplanted the Yankees as the Big Apple's top team, they have succeeded their formerly feisty neigh bors as Major League Baseball's foremost group of crybabies. Just ask Ozzie Smith about these guys. But egg shell egos aside, the Mets are a lock to return to the throne they occupied two years ago. On the surface, last season's second-place finish behind the Cardinals was a disappointment. But the fact New York won 92 games despite a relent less rash of injuries (Ron Darling, Bob Ojeda, Sid Fernandez and Rick Aguilera) and personal setbacks (Dwight Gooden's two-month drug rehab hiatus) that beset the best pitching staff in baseball is a testim ony to this team's greatness. Offensively, no team in the National League, with the possible exception of the Cincinnati Reds, can match the firepower of the Mets. With little Lenny Dykstra leading off and Keith Hernandez, Darryl Straw berry, Kevin McReynolds, Gary Carter and Howard Johnson batting third through seventh for manager Davey Johnson, New York can't help but score reams of runs. Addition by subtraction (trading Jesse Orosco and replacing him with young flamethrower Randy Myers) will no doubt improve the bullpen. If someone could just figure out a way to keep Strawberry away from reporters, the Mets will clinch this division by Labor Day. 2. Montreal With all the young talent in this organization, Buck Rodgers' Expos seem capable of contending well into the 25th century, or at least the late 1990s. Tim Raines, while no longer the best player in the game, is still one of the top five. Third baseman Tim Wallach had his best season last year (26 homers, 123 RBI), while his compatriot across the diamond, first baseman Andres Gallaraga, has similar potential. The middle infield, however, is suspect, and the same holds true for Montreal's super-glue pitching staff. and slow and withstood a record setting three-point performance from Oklahoma's Dave Sieger to avenge two losses to the Sooners, 35-4, during the regular season. This was the third championship game played between two teams from the same conference, and it was the third this decade in which a heavy underdog managed to win the title. Kansas was an eight-point under dog, but in the first half the Jayhawks ran with the Sooners, the nation's second-leading scoring team and the regular-season and tournament champions of the Big Eight. Then the Jayhawks showed patience in the second half, running the 45-second Classified Advertising Classified Info The Daily Tar Heel does not accept cash for payment of clas sified advertising.

Pittsburgh In about three years or so, after the Pirates win the World Series, Syd Thrift will be right up there with Art Rooney, Chuck Noll and Willie Stargell in the hearts of Steel City sports fans. Thrift, the Pirates' wily general manager, is quietly building a mini-dynasty in Three Rivers. By unloading expensive, unmoti vated veterans in favor of young, hungry studs like Barry Bonds, Andy Van Slyke, Darnell Coles and Bobby Bonilla, the Pirates are clearly on their way back. The pitching staff is a blend of old (Jim Gott, Bob Walk) and young (the sensational Mike Dunne, Brian Fisher) and is perhaps two quality starters away from excellence. Manager Jim Leyland is like Roger Craig, in that he knows how to draw the utmost from his players. Hustle is a by-product of respect. 4. Philadelphia Bullpen ace Steve Bedrosian won the Cy Young Award last season by saving half of the Phillies' 80 victories. "Bedrock" is opening this year on the disabled list with walking pneumonia, a possible omen of things to come. Once again, the Phils have tons of offense (Mike Schmidt, Von Hayes, Juan Samuel, Lance Parrish and offseason acquisition Phil Bradley), but come up way short in defense and starting pitching. And would some body please tell me where Mike Young is supposed to play? 5. St. Louis Whitey Herzog is a great manager. That he was able to take the injury-ravaged Cardinals within one game of the world title last season proved that point, once take NCAAcrowo clock before taking good percentage shots. The Jayhawks shot 64 percent for the game, 35 of 55, and they cooled off after a first half in which they overcame injuries and academic problems. Kansas took the lead for good at 69-68 on a hook shot by Manning with 8:50 left in the game. It was the last of seven straight Kansas points scored by the 6-foot-10 center and the play started with Manning standing at midcourt with the ball waiting for Oklahoma to come out and apply pressure.

But it's nearly impossible to repeat, even as a division winner, in today's world of gargantuan contracts and overinflated egos. Plus, with Jack Clark gone, the Cards must turn to Bob (Red Devil) Horner for power. After seeing the former Braves slugger strike out a few times with the bases loaded, the folks at Busch Stadium are going to wish Horner had stayed in Japan. The remarkably over-rated John Tudor is having arm trouble again, proving that Dal Maxvill should have traded the rag-arm lefty while he had the chance. 6. Chicago "Holy cow, these guys are bad!" broadcaster Harry Caray might intone one day this year, maybe in the heat of August as his beloved Cubbies edge ever closer to 100 losses. How bad were the Cubs in 1987? Andre Dawson had an MVP season (49 homers, 137 RBI) and this club was still finished last, though just nine games under .500. With all due apologies to Bill Murray, George Will and Dave Lohse, diehard Cub fans all, this year promises to be even worse for the Ivy wallers. After Rick Sutcliffe, Don Zimmer's pitching staff is a mess, and Rich Gossage is hardly a fair swap for Lee Smith in the stopper's role. The good news is that with general manager Dallas Green gone, and Jim Frey in his place, the youth movement is on. By late June you can look for the Cubs to turn to young replace ments for Jody Davis (Damon Ber ryhill) and Leon Durham (Mark Grace). The marvelous Ryne Sand berg is still around, as is Rafael Palmeiro (whose name Caray pro nounces differently each time he says it). Another note of interest: After eons of protest, lights will finally be installed in Wrigley, with about 15 night games scheduled for this season. That's too bad; the Cubs would be better off playing their entire home schedule in the dark. give Kansas a four-point lead. The Sooners tied the score on a free throw by Sieger and a turnaround jumper by Grant with 5:55 left. Pritchard hit a baseline drive with 5:34 left and the Jayhawks were on the way to the first national cham pionship for a team from west of the Mississippi River since UCLA won in 1975. Manning sealed the victory with four free throws in the final 14 seconds. He gave Kansas an 81-77 lead with the first two. Sieger made six of his seven three pointers in the first half, which ended with the score tied at 50-50. ATHLETIC ATTIC is now looking for full and part-time help.
