(AP photo) Anaheim opens World Series at home against San Francisco (A P )— Baseball will have an other wild-card champion. The San Francisco Giants won the NL pennant on Monday night, setting up a World Series matchup o f second-place teams when they play the AL champion Anaheim Angels. Game 1 is Saturday night at Edison Field, with Barry Bonds hoping to succeed in his first trip onto b a se b a ll's b ig g est stage against the A ngels, who have never been to the Series and don't have any players who have, either. ‘ ’Saturday, I’II get there finally,” Bonds said. *'I t’s pretty nice. Any World Series is nice.” Neither team has much World Series experience, but they do have some head-to-head matchups to look back on. For those who thought Fran cisco Rodriguez’s first win in a major league uniform came against the Yankees in the division series, think again. On March 13 at Scottsdale Sta dium in Arizona, Rodriguez pitched a scoreless inning to get the win in an 11-10 spring training game against the Giants. Bonds and Jeff Kent didn’t play in the game and even fewer regu lars were around to face Rodriguez in the ninth inning. Anaheim won all three Cactus League matchups this year. But the Giants hold an 11 -5 edge in the re g u la r se a so n w ith B onds homering five times in those games. None o f that matters now. Bonds has waited his entire ca reer for this moment. He was so close in 1991 and '92, when he fell one game short with Pittsburgh. After struggling in his first five trips to the postseason, Bonds has shined this year with four homers and 10 RBI to put him self in posi tion forthe title that would punctu ate has sparkling career.

In a sloppy and disjointed game, Erick Dampier scored 22 points and Gilbert Arenas added 10 points and 10 assists as the Warriors beat Portland 97-79, the first loss after three preseason wins. Mike Dunleavy, who starred for Jesuit High School in nearby Beaverton, had 14 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Warriors (2-2), who led by as many as 25 points in the fourth quarter and never trailed. “I think the way we played was discouraging," Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks said. “No one was out there doing anything. Everyone I put in the game just...nothing was going right.” Zach Randolph had 15 points to lead the Blazers (3-1), who had 29 o f the gam e’s 49 turnovers. Asked if his team might be bored with the preseason, Cheeks was quick with a reply: “I don’t think they were bored. The fans were bored. W e’re not that good to get bored.” The mood in the locker room was subdued after the game, but not overly critical. “We played a bad game,” said guard A ntonio D aniels, who scored two points. “They out worked us at both ends o f the floor, and we didn’t respond the way we should have.” Portland’s Ruben Patterson had to be carried off the floor after spraining his right ankle early in the second quarter. X-rays were negative and his status is listed as day-to-day.
