Moseley: The word only confuses you ■ Continued from Page 7 father, foe, speaking of his days playing basketball over sees said: “In Italy you’d see whole families living in one big villa.” I would? For one thing, I’ve never been to Italy, and I don’t know what the heck a villa is. Nope, can’t identify with that one. Next. Boston Bruins head coach Pat Bums on the proliferation of overtime games come NHL playoff time: “You hope you have a decent fourth line that can eat up [overtime minutes equal to] what would have been the TV timeout.” I do? I don’t even have a first or second line, much less a fourth. Maybe I need to switch pub lications. On to the latest issue of ESPN magazine: Anaheim Mighty Ducks wingerTeemu Selanneon Buffalo Sabres goalie Dominik Hasek: “He does so many dif ferent things. You never know what to expect.” Sure I do. If I’m on the ice against Hasek, I expect to fall down a few times (I can’t ice skate), then I would unleash a less-than-powerful slap shot that would more likely dribble off to one side of the net than force Hasek to make a stop. He could probably make that save from the bench. Can’t identify with that one. Next. Chicago Bulls center Luc Longley on defending the Mia mi Heat’s Alonzo Mourning: “Alonzo is always a matchup that you need a bulldozer to handle.” Hallelujah! Now that one I can identify with. Although I would probably require a dump truck and backhoe to triple team Mourning with the bulldozer, I would definitely need some sort of heavy ma chinery to “D” him up. So my point is, the asinine appearance of the word “you” in athletes’ comments is more than interfering with my abili ty to grasp the point of their di atribes. It’s got to stop. Hell, the Utah Jazz’s Karl Malone re ferred to himself in the first, second and third person in one SportsCenter highlight earlierthis season. Quite frankly, you can’t take it anymore. You’re tired of the word, and you’re going to change the channel or put down the magazine next time it appears. Rob Moseley is a sports reporter for the Emerald.

I think that was the first game all season where it looked like every one was having fun. “Our mental approach has changed from the beginning of the season. Now we go into games playing to win. We no longer go in playing not to lose.” Designated player Triawn Custer agreed. “We’ve just gotten back to ba sics,” she said. “We’re healthy, and we’re fine tuning for the rest of the season.” All signs seem to overwhelm ingly point to a Duck sweep — or do they? To counter Oregon’s second ranked conference offense on April 11, Oregon State (25-20, 6 12) benefited from a remarkable two-game performance by pitcher Tarrah Beyster, who struck out 20 Oregon batters en route to her team-high 17th and 18th wins of the season. If Beyster can match that perfor mance, the Ducks could be shut out of postseason play for the fourth consecutive season. However, Robinson said, playing at home will give Oregon a boost and likely could be a big factor. “I think we’re a better team all the way around,” Robinson said. “They pretty well spanked us up there, so we want to beat them pretty bad.” Jennie Cook, who leads the team with 20 wins and a 2.54 ERA, will get the start in Game 1 and likely could be called on to pitch in Game 2. Against Arizona State, Cook pitched both ends of the doubleheader and earned both victories. Chiefs owner announces plan to bid for the Royals By Craig Horst The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt wants to buy his city’s baseball team to “assure that the Royals will remain in Kansas City.” Hunt, a sports entrepreneur who is joined in the bid by West ern Resources utility, called the venture “very important to Mid America.” He announced his plans Tues day, the deadline to submit pre liminary bids for the American League franchise. He said his bid is competitive but would not elab orate. It is not clear how many bids have been submitted. “The ball is now in the Royals’ court,” Hunt said. The NFL club owner said talks between his family and Western Resources began last month. He said if the bid goes through, own ership will be evenly divided, with the Hunts the managing partner. Western Resources is based in Topeka, Kan., and Chiefs execu tive officer John Hayes said the joint bid is designed to keep the Royals where they are. The Royals have been without an owner since its founder, Ewing Kauffman, died in 1993. Golf: Beavers fall to tie for 7th with WSU Card Collegiate Golf Rankings, has a combined four-over-par 220.
