Pack to the typewriter for look at the sports world. The
first week of June had almost convinced me to spend my time
in my own sports events rather than writing about other
people's, but a couple of Infield pop-ups and a few shanked
tee shots brought me back to earth.
As of yesterday, the Lakers are ahead 2-1 in the NBA
playoffs, and really do look to be unbeatable. A thirty point
blowout in the finals Isn't unheard of, but the manner in
which the Celtics got flattened leads me to believe that it's
time to start thinking about next year, Obviously, the Celtics
need help ? ), so I've got a deal for them. We'll give up the
; draft rights to Michael Jordan for Kevin McHale and further
considerations. (I'm still holding out hope for the Jordan and
; Clyde Drexler for Ralph Sampson deal, although It's looking
: dim on that score.)
All those people you see walking around with their heads
held high are Oregon Duck fans. Those long-suffering
patriots can rightfully take pride In the fact that the Webfoots
have claimed the 1984 Men'. Track and Field title. Led by the
Uraiilian Bomber himself, Joaqulm Cruz (who captured the
; Bxm and 1500m) the Ducks snagged their fifth NCAA crown.
John Chaplin will have to start recruiting a little more, than
maybe he'll feel free to talk to people from Oregon. (Chaplin
is the track coach at Washington State, which was favored to
win. but finished second. He came up with a new policy for
the NCAA meet held in Eugene in that he wouldn't talk to
anybody In Oregon. Seems like every time he says
something controversial or in the way of a prediction, the
nasty reporters actually print It-what a dirty trick.)
IKks like the Detroit Tigers are In a slump they've lost 6
out of 9. For some teams, that would be a hot streak. The
latest stretch has dipped their winning percentage slightly
under .800, which is just short of amazing. Perhaps more
amazing is the fact that the Toronto Bluejays are only 41
games back. In any other division, the Canadians would be
far ahead. One of the other surprise teams had been the
Cincinnati Reds, but a five-game sweep by the Atlanta
Graves has temporarily grounded that group.
The U.S. Open Golf Championship is coming up soon, and it
should be interesting. The Open will be held at Winged Foot,
in Mamaroneck, New York. If you enjoy seeing the pros get
in th predicaments that we have to face, you should like this
one, The Open annually produces the toughest courses and
highest scores, but this year could be better than ever. I
rememlx-r the last time they played at Winged Foot&Hale
Irwin won at 7 over. When was the last time you saw a pro
tourney won in 7 over?
It looks like John McEnroe is up to his usual antics at the
French Open Tennis Championship. I wonder if foreigners
get the idea that all Americans act like the athletes we send
over. I hope not. I'd like to be Martina Navratilova's agent
for the next week or two. If she wins the French Open, she
will wil a $1 million bonus for holding all 4 major
championships (Australian, French, British, Wimbledon,
and U.S.) at the same time. A piece of friendly advice don't
bet against her, or if you do, bet with me.
On (he local scene, plana are being finalized for the
Heppner Open. The tourney will be held June 30 and July 1 at
the local course. There is still time to enter, and there are
some good prizes available.
That's about all for this week. Here's a thought for the day
Do you think we could get some headlines if Morrow
County boycotted the 1984 Olympics? Just say that we're not
sending any athletes to the games. We can join South
Yemen, Vietnam and all the other nations which independen
tly decided that our security is too lax in Los Angeles. And
here I had planned to enter the summer bobsled competition.
