most improved player. Freddie
Jones received the team’s Most
Valuable Player Award, and Luke
Ridnour won the John Warren
Award as the team’s most inspira
tional player.
Ben Lindquist accepted the
Henry Ritchie Scholar-Athlete
award for the second year in a
row, and Robert Johnson received
recognition for being the team’s
top rebounder.
The return of Wrenn
Stanford’s Casey Jacobsen has
left, but it looks like another of Ore
gon’s thorns from last season will
return next year.
Washington’s Doug Wrenn, de
spite speculation that he would
leave for the NBA after his sopho
more season, will return to the
team next year.
Wrenn averaged 24 points in
three games against the Ducks last
season, including 32 points in a 97
92 Husky win in January.
Wrenn returns to the team de
spite the departure of head coach
Bob Bender, who resigned in late
March. Lorenzo Romar, a former
Husky player, was hired last week
in his place.

continued from page 5
their pitching staff is young and
dominating. And they’ve got young
hitters like Eric Chavez and Carlos
Pena that are just aching to make a
big-league impact.
3. Angels.
4. Rangers.
AL Central
1. Cleveland. This club looks
down their schedule and practi
cally blows a blood vessel from
laughing so hard. Kansas City? De
troit? Please. Cleveland rocks
again in the sport’s weakest divi
sion.
2. White Sox.
3. Twins.
4. Royals.
5. Tigers.
AL East
1. Yankees. Any decent, self-re
specting baseball fan should hate
the Yanks with every cracker
jacked bone in their body. The
Yankees represent everything
wrong with baseball, that any team
with money can win. Money and
busloads of tradition. And team
chemistry. And one of the most
loveable, well-respected managers
in the business. Boo to the Yan
kees. Boooo.
2. Red Sox.
3. Toronto.
4. Tampa Bay.
5. Baltimore.
NL West
1. Giants. San Francisco is off to
a blazing start, and it’s not just be
I
cause Bonds has hit five dingers in
the five games he’s played. It’s be
cause Bonds is more relaxed doing
it. He took a chill pill. He will hit
his 75th homer of the season off
Randy Johnson as the Giants and
Diamondbacks battle in a one
game playoff for the division title.
2. Diamondbacks (wild-card
team). Four words, and you know
them. Randy Johnson Curt
Schilling. Curt Johnson Randy
Schilling. Johnson Schilling
Randy Curt. Who cares? They
dominate, the Diamondbacks win
lots of games. Great.
3. Dodgers.
4. Padres.
5. Rockies.
NL Central
1. Cardinals. In the National
League’s craziest division, St.
Louis has the edge because of a
solid pitching staff. Mark McG
wire’s gone, but he has been so in
jured over the past few years that
he hasn’t had much of an impact
anyway. When top-name players
like Daryl Kile and Jim Edmonds
defer money from their contracts
so the team can benefit, you know
you’ve got a playoff-caliber team
on your hands.
2. Pirates.
3. Astros.
4. Cubs.
5. Reds.
6. Brewers.
NL East
1. Mets. New York picked up
enough firepower in the offseason
to almost make the Yankees envi
ous. But not quite. Still, guys like
Roberto Alomar, Jeremy Burnitz

Right. The Mets end Atlanta’s
postseason streak in a one-game
playoff at the end of the season.
2. Atlanta.
3. Phillies.
4. Expos.
5. Marlins.
Playoffs
ALDS: Mariners over Cleveland
(this time it’s not so close). A’s over
Yankees (Oakland’s pitching staff
wreaks revenge on Giambi).
NLDS: Giants over Mets (Bonds
finally ends his postseason woes
and hits four dingers in the se
ries). Diamondbacks over Cardi
nals (two wins each from Ari
zona’s Big Two is all it takes in a
5-game series).
ALCS: Mariners over A’s (in the
seventh game, Seattle’s bullpen is
the difference).
NLCS: Giants over Diamondbacks
(Bonds’ homers provide the differ
ence in two wins over the Big Two).
World Series: Giants and
Mariners tie.
Just kidding. In another thriller,
the M’s edge the Giants in Game 7
due to the clutch hitting of Ichiro
in the 12th inning.
By the way, this article was in
no way tainted by my equal love
for the Giants and Mariners. Ha ha.
Ha. Right. And Derek Jeter can fly.
So, until next season, buy me
some peanuts and cracker jacks. I
know you don’t want me to come
back.
Don’t worry, I’ll be at the ballgame.
