The
Hfftlh Quarter
Sports by Mike Oths
(Editor's note: This column was submitted the afternoon of
Tuesday, April 10 which was past the deadline for articles to
be submitted for last week's paper.)
Back to the old prediction business. Only one irate fan
questioned my parentage after the AJL picks last week, so I
must not be doing my job. On the other hand, baseball has
never been that big a deal in the western part of the VS., so
maybe nobody really cares. (Now that might provoke some
comment even if it is true-. I always found the baseball box
scores somewhere below Tank Mc.Namara in the "Register
Guard," but that's understandable given the absence of any
major-league teams in the Northwest.
A couple of general observations on the Senior Circuit
balance has been the by-word the last five years or so, and
this year looks to be no different. There are no dominant
teams, but there are plenty of one who could challenge. Since
1979, all the N.L. teams except the Mets, Cubs, Giants and
Padres have made the playoffs. Reduce that number by one
more, and here we go:
N.L. West:
(1) San Diego The Padres have finally added the
ingredients that have been missing the last year or two. The
addition of Nettles and Gossage to a good mix of vets and
rookies should send the Pads to the top. Watch for
McReynolds and Martinez to have an effect as rookies.
(2) Los Angeles Why not? The Dodgers are still a solid
club, and probably will challenge. This team is in transition,
and needs a few more leaders. Pitching has been declining
steadily in recent years. Billy Russell just doesn't Ct the
mold of taking LA to the top.
(3) San Francisco The Giants made great strides in the
closing days of winter. Adding Al Oliver and the possible
pickup of Dusty Baker make the Giants much better. If the
young arms keep coming on the 49'ers might have some
competition for once.
(4) Atlanta The Braves are a very iffy team. Uncertainty
over the status of Pascual Perez and the loss of Phil Niekro
make the Braves pitching highly suspect. No questioning the
ability of Horner and Murphy, but there are too many holes
for these guys.
(5) Cincinnati As much as I hate to pick Houston last, I
can't (on principle) pick my Reds to finish last. Sentiment is
probably the main key here, but the Machine is improved.
Addition of Parker and Perez cant hurt. Look for Mario Soto
to win the Cy Young.
(6) Houston Many people pick the Astros to win it all, and
maybe they will. I still don't see how an offenseless team can
win a pennant. The pitching isn't that good, either. Somebody
has to finish last other than the Reds we already took our
turn.
N.L. East:
(1) Montreal Can Pete Rose really lead to the first truly
World Series? You bet. I question the trade of Al Oliver, but
this team is due to win. Carter, Dawson, etc. are ready to put
it all together, and now they have the superglue they need.
Could use pitching.
(2) Pittsburgh The Pirates are probably the best
balanced team in the division. Good bullpen, young starters,
solid infield the Bucs will definitely challenge. As much as I
admire Chuck Tanner (who will someday be regarded as
Earl Weaver is now) the Pirates are No. two.
(3) St. Louis The Cards stood too pat after a bad '83
campaign. Bruce Sutter can't do it alone, and may be less
than he has been. Cards need Andujar to have good year, as
well as continued improvement of Herr, Van Slyke, etc. if
they are to finish on top. Too many ifs.
(4) Philadelphia Big slide for the Phils. Fourth in this
division won't be too far off and the pace, however.
Youngsters like Samuel and Matuszek will be legit
big -leaguers, but not enough this year. Loss of Morgan, Rose
and Perez isn't as easy as the Phils are trying to say.
(5) Chicago The Cubbies and the Mets are really 5 and 5a,
but give the nod to the Wrigley boys. All the wheeling and
dealing means the Cubs still have a grumbling Bill Buckner,
and the rest are "hopefulls." If Lee Smith's arm doesn't fall
off, the Cubs should claim fifth.
(6) New York Youngsters Strawberry, Dwight Gooderi,
Ron Darling, etc. all may someday be the next wave of junior
Joe DiDaggio's but not yet. As we all know, every ballplayer
of marginal talent who plays in the Big Apple could start a
paper drive with press clippings-but not about pennant races,
at least this year.
Anyone who mails these to me in October will receive an
autographed copy of the predictions I made in 1977, which
were almost correct, and which have a shelf -life of four more
years.
