After a couple of tough
games at home last week,
Clackamas’ baseball team’s
record fell to an overall 8-18 and
5-13 in league games, leaving
them at the very bottom spot
in the Southern Region for the
second week in a row.
The first game of the April 23
doubleheader against Mt.
Hood was yet another Cougar
loss, with a final of 6-5. Josh
Gaylord threw for the Cougars
and pitched a good game, ac
cording to Head Coach Robin
Robinson. Gaylord allowed six
runs off of eight hits, with three
runs earned. He also struck out
six Mt. Hood players, while
walking only one.
The Cougar offense kept the
game close, as Colin Griffin was
three-for-five, with an RBI, and
Scott Hunter went two-for-five
with two runs. Tom Henderson
and Jesse Gaylord each
knocked in two RBIs, but their
attempts were not enough to
seal the deal, as the Cougars
fell to their 17th overall loss.

With the summer movie season
knocking on the door, I was disap
pointed to discover that not a single
athlete is starring in blockbuster films
such as “Scooby Doo” or “Star Wars
Episode II: Attack of the Clones.”
Apparently Hollywood felt that Shaq’s
performance in “Kazaam” or Kareem
Abdul Jabar’s role in “Airplane” was
not worthy of more roles for sports
figures, so I have taken it upon myself
to line up those from the wide world of
sports who I feel would fit perfectly
into some of the major roles in this
year’s summer hits.

lent persona, I felt that the Lakers guard
would be a perfect fit for the role.
As for “Star Wars Episode II: At
tack of the Clones,” the part of Anakin
Sky walker would be better played by
Jeff Gordon instead of Hayden
Christiansen. Gordon, who burst onto
the NASCAR racing circuit in 1993,
showed great promise as a driver. He
fits well into the role of Anakin, a Jedi
knight who learns to use The Force
with cunning ability, but somewhere
along the line he slips to “the dark
side.”
Over the past nine years, Gordon
has been regarded as a dirty racer who
continues to win races, all the while
ticking more and more fans off. And
now, his wife has filed for divorce, al
leging that the former Winston Cup
Rookieof the Year cheated on her. Stay

his slide into the world of evil, or if he

On the other side of the coin, the
villain in “Attack of the Clones,”
Count Dooker, should have been
played by the Trail Blazers’ Ruben
Patterson, who pled guilty to third-
degree rape this past summer. Who

Peter Parker, a.k.a. SpiderMan, in the
film by the same name. My pick would
have been former Notre Dame football
coach George O’ Leary, for his talent
in spinning webs of lies that eventu

Kobe Bryant gets my nod for the
part of Jason Boume in “The Bourne
Identity,” instead of Academy Award
winner Matt Damon. In this movie, the
first part of what will be yet another
trilogy, Bourne catches a bad case of
amnesia and forgets who he really is.

pay good money to see Anna in a
summer movie.
