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.

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 I sassio ASip0E§E¥m^ §T#f3 NOW HIRING Applications available in ASUO Office (Suite 4 EMU) Due Friday, April 19 by 5pm URF rrrr undergraduate research fellowship Institute for Development of Educational Achievement (IDEA) College of Education • Full-time juniors <& seniors; Oregon residents only • All majors, 3.5 cumulative GPA or better • Strong interest and commitment to research •Tuition paid for 2002-2003 academic year Deadline: May 2. 2002 Applications at http7/idea.uoregon.edu/ideaL_urf .html or pick one up at the Education Annex Questions: Call Tanya Sheehan at 346-1472 or email: tsheehan@oregon.uoregon.edu and Mo Vaughn can’t hurt, unless they’re hurt, like Vaughn is now. 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. E-mail sports reporter Peter Hockaday at peterhockaday@dailyemerald.com.
