16The Tar HeelThursday, July 27, 1989 Pennants from page 1 1 the White Rat himself admits that he doesn't have enough pitching to keep pace with Montreal or New York. N.L. West I'm proudly stick ing with the San Francisco Giants here, with the Houston Astros being the only possible threat to the boys by the bay. The Giants' acquisition of Steve Bedrosian from the Phillies, though costly in the long run, turned Roger Craig's final question mark the bullpen into an exclamation point. With Craig Lefferts and Bedrosian, the Giants will have an excellent lefty righty combination to shut the door on those occasions when Rick Reuschel, Mike LaCoss, Don Robin son and (eventually) Kelly Downs can't go the distance. Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell, Brett Butler and Robby Thompson will create more than enough offense for this team to win handily. The Astros (-3) have Mike Scott, Jim Deshaies and an excellent bull pen, but a contending team needs at least three reliable starters. Offen sively, Kevin Bass and Glenn Davis won't be enough down the stretch. A.L. East First of all, to every one who has told me they picked the Orioles back in April Bullstuff. I didn't. I picked the Toronto Blue Jays, and I still do. The Blue Jays (-4 12) have all of the necessary elements to win in this bastion of mediocrity. John Cerutti, Jimmy Key, Dave Steib and Mike Flanagan with Todd Stottlemyre waiting in the wings will keep the Jays in games while the likes of Jun- I C I . M""""J.

Duane Ward and Tom Henke are dependable, hard throwing stoppers. The Orioles have found a dazzling stopper in Gregg Olson, but their start ing staff won't give him enough op portunities in August and Septem ber. Also, don't be surprised to see Mickey Tettleton & Co. fade in the heat of a pennant race. The other teams in contention en ter August with at least one glaring need the Cleveland Indians (-5 1 2), starting pitching and a scrappy offense; the Boston Red Sox (-5 1 2), pitching of all kinds; the New York Yankees (-7), starting pitching; and the Milwaukee Brewers (-8), help for Paul Molitor and Robin Yount. A.L. West Figuring against a repeat, I picked the Kansas City Royals to dethrone the Oakland A's, and it's still a possibility. But the off-season addition of Mike Moore, the mid-season acquisition of Rickey Henderson and the development of pitcher Todd Burns make it difficult to pick against the A's (-2) this late in the season. After all, they're tied for first, even without production from Jose Canseco, Walt Weiss and Dave Henderson through the first 100 games. The California Angels (tied for first) are pitching their way to promi nence, but it's unlikely that Bert Bly leven, Chuck Finley and Kirk Mc Caskill can duplicate their first-half performances. They also need some one to spark the offense on those occasions when Devon White can't do it alone. The Royals (-6 12) have plenty of pitching to get the job done, but they need someone, anyone (George Brett?), to take some pressure off Bo Jackson and Danny Tartabull. . The Texas Rangers (-6 12) have the offense and the closer needed for a parade to the top, but Kevin Brown and Nolan Ryan can't start every day. There you have it, my revised picks for baseball's stretch run. Of course, if either or both of my original picks the Royals and the Mets grabs a flag in the end, you'll know I was only kidding.
