Wrigley’s confines await Atlanta
Wrigley Field and its unpredictable
winds await a new victim on Friday
By Paul Sullivan
Chicago Tribune (KRT)
ATLANTA — The Cubs come home for
Game 3 on Friday night at Wrigley Field,
where they should have a real home-field
advantage after the pseudo advantage of
playing at Wrigley South, also known as
Turner Field,
"The Wrigley confines are not going to be
too friendly," Atlanta closer John Smoltz said.
"And neither is the weather."
That's just the way the Cubs want it A cold,
blustery forecast means the conditions will
be ripe for pitching duels, and that's the
Cubs' best chance of beating Atlanta.
Cubs manager Dusty Baker said he does
n't care what the weather is "as long as the
wind is blowing in. No one can match
them in home runs. Aren't they first in both
leagues? When you have Vinny Castilla
with 22 home runs batting eighth, that's a
home run team."
In Baker's first year of managing the Cubs,
they finished 44-37 at home after going 11-3
at Wrigley in September. Baker said he likes
managing at Wrigley, for the most part.
Tm not crazy when the wind is blowing
out," Baker said. "I like it when the wind is
blowing in. The weather changes unlike any
where else, other than Colorado. I like
Wrigley Field. I like it a lot now. 1 used to not
like it but now it's my home"
Why didn't he like it as a player?
"I didn't hit well there " he said. "My depth
perception was off there. It looked like (the
pitcher) was too dose, and the grass was too
thick. There are a lot of reasons why."

Maybe if Price and Rick Neuheisel show
up at a women's soccer game wearing Ore
gon hats, the team would get proper pub
licity. Please.
The Ducks are a squad that consists of
more than two-thirds underclassmen while
facing 10 NCAA tournament veterans from
the previous season. Now, after losing a na
tional caliber goalkeeper in Sarah Peters to
graduation last season, the Ducks return
two seniors, only one of whom starts.
But here is the good news: Picture a team in
two years that could potentially have 10 sen
iors, all of whom will have plenty experience
under their belts. Forward Nicole Garbin will
be in her final year and probably in her athletic
prime. Goalkeeper Domenique Lainez will
also be a senior and have finally had the chance
to establish herself.
And what is currendy a group of seven fresh
men that doesn't have much more than the
hope and desire to win will soon be mature up
perclassmen with a real feel for collegiate soccer.
Just be patient. Give it some time.
Remember, great programs aren't built
overnight.

continued from page 15
Leading Oregon's attack tonight will be Jones, who
has led the team in points for three consecutive matches.
She started her streak against Portland with 19.5 points
and continued it against UCLA (16) and USC (10.5).
"For (Jones), it's all about confidence, * Ferreira said.
"When she's confident, she's a physical finisher. She's
got a terminating arm, and she can end plays for us.'
Sophomore Kelly Russell led the Ducks with 14
kills the last time they ventured to Corvallis. Junior
Lauren Westendorf added 13 kills and two blocks.
The Beavers are led by junior Allison Lawrence,
who is averaging 3.65 kills per game. Junior Anne
Watts-Roberts is second in kills with 3.25 and leads
the team in digs with 3.39 per game.
The Ducks are hoping to maintain the high energy
level with which they've competed lately. This confi
dent energy is evident in the play of Mason. The 6
foot-3-inch outside hitter is routinely seen exciting
her teammates and letting her opponents know she
won't be intimidated.
"Picking yourself up, picking the team up, put
ting the other team down, getting in their face,
throwing them off — (my excitement) brings a lot
of energy to the team," Mason said. "It's always
good to play with energy."
