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.

Dunleavy Spoils Blazer
Preseason Streak
(AP) — Anyone who stayed
at the Rose Garden beyond half
time ofMonday 's exhibition game
between the Golden State War
riors and the Portland Trail Blaz
ers either has a fanatical dedica
tion to the NBA or no place else
to go.
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.
