Early results:

Semifinals, Women's European Indoors, Zurich:

Steffi Graf will play Martina Navratilova in the finals tomorrow.  Graf
defeated Jana Novotna 7-6 in the third set (tiebreak score 7-2).  Graf
rallied from down 4-2 in the third set.  In the other semi, Patty Fendick had
to retire at 6-3 4-1 Navratilova leading.  I believe this will be the first
Graf vs. Navratilova meeting since the 1991 U. S. Open.


Sydney, Australia:

Stefan Edberg advances to the finals, winning in three sets over Henrik Holm
(6-3 in the third).  I belive he will face off against Goran Ivanisevic.


Toulouse, France:

Guy Forget advances to the championship round, where he will have a 
chance to defend his title.


More complete results later.  Sorry for any errors, this is from memory!

	I saw parts of the match, as I was doing something else at the time.
Basically on replay, the ball wasn't even close. I guess it was a lapse of
concentration from the umpire. I seem to lose my concentration every 3 or 4
points when I'm playing! BTW, Lendl played a sensational point after the bad
call. As for the match, I believe Lendl would have won if the match had gone
to 5 sets (it was a best of 3 set match). He was striking form at the end of
the 2nd set, and the tide had turned. Instead of Lendl fighting break points
on every serve, Krajicek was. When you're down a break in the 2nd set, it's
hard to come back.

	Linespeople are sometimes replaced immediately after bad calls.
However replacing a central umpire would be very dangerous, as it would set a
precedent. But a bad line call is not how often they are made, it is WHEN they
are made. So one bad call can cost a break which wins a set. But that's
tennis - it makes the game interesting!

Subject: Edbergs Racquet
Organization: Computer Services Centre, Australian National University
Date:  8 Oct 92 02:07:09 GMT

A couple weeks ago people were discussing Edberg's use (or disuse) of the
ProStaff Classic versus the use of the old model.
Last night I watched very carefully and when he held the racquet at 
certain angles to the light, the entire face of the racqeut shone in the
illumination. This racquet definitely had a flat face. 
It could not be a classic then. The Classic has a widebody profile which
would not do this. And when the TV cameras got really close up for service 
returns, it was clearly a box section racquet.
 So I hate to disappoint all you PSC users but Edberg does not use it.
Though I would have sworn he was at Roland Garros! Oh well, Steffi doesn't
use my racquet either (the Dunlop Revelation Pro) and I won't 
believe she ever will until I see it with my own eyes.

Agassi pass Jim Grab (spelling?) easily 6:4, 6:2.

Edberg won the 2nd Round 7:6, 7:5,
another close match for Edberg, the German (can not remember his name)
has set point in the first set.

Tonight, my favorite Ivan Lendl against Mark Woodforde,
Lendl should pass Woodforde, but Woodforde often give Lendl a
close match, (hope Lendl go through).
after that Ivanisevic will also play.
If Lendl and Ivanisevic both play well, they will meet at
simi-final, and Agassi will meet Edberg.
I like to see Lendl can prove that Ivanisevic has a
big mouth (recall what Ivanisevic said in Wimbledon).

His name is Patrick Kuehnen, he's ranked #106

service games against the world's best return

Yes, that is correct.  The new format of the ATP tour requires players to
participate in at least 8 (I believe) of the 9 championship series events.
This is probably the reason for more comprehensive TV coverage.

Now, if they would only televise more WTA events.

I don't seem to remember that Morris had given up 3 runs (all on dingers) in
that game, but I could be wrong.  And minimal reading skills would lead you
to believe I would have pulled him after 8.  As far as Tom Kelly is concerned,
different game, different situation.

Different situation again.  Cone had a 3-0 lead.  Let him pitch until they
start hitting him, since he has a 3-run lead.

You're obviously the kind of guy who doesn't understand that different
situations call for different moves as opposed to mindlessly leaving the
starter out there until it's too late.

I would tend to think that two excellent and one miserable start would
result in more victories for the team than three very good starts, but I
don't know for sure.  It would be an interesting study.

I have to agree. Trading the greatest pitcher of his era - quite
possibly the greatest *player* of his era - while he's still in his
prime would be a public-relations disastor of staggering proportions,
even if you got a major young stud All-Star like Gonzalez. Clemens has
become an icon for Bosox fans (even if they sometimes get ticked off at
him for off-season stuff), and puts fannies in the seats and eyes and
ears on the airwaves. He's not just an all-time great, he's got a
certain *presence* on the field, that certain kind of dominating
intensity and overpowering ability that Michael Jordan has. Having a
player like that can weld an entire generation of fans to a team for
life, I think, even after the player is gone and even if the team
subsequently becomes uninteresting. How many Yankee fans were sustained
in their faith through the horrors of the late 60s/early 70s by the
memory of their boyhood idol Mickey Mantle? I am not a Bostonian, but if
I was, I am sure that the Bosox' trading Clemens would sour me on them
for a good long time, and cost them quite a few coins from my pockets
and time from my life. I recall when Walter Payton was near the end of
the line and the question came up of when it might be wise to trade him
while he still had some value, and the Bears management wisely rejected
the notion out of hand. I know some Mets fans who have never really
forgiven the trading of Seaver, and whose attendance dropped to
virtually zero after that trade until the mid-80s team got them excited
again.
Certain players do become bigger than their teams. Clemens is one.

Glavine had a very good year,  however,  MAddox is the winner.  Hands down.

For those of you who have been asleep, the Braves win game 7 in the MIRACLE
OF THE NINTH. Before the game, I kept thinking like the 30ish year old from
Atlanta that we deserve a World Championship, but then CBS showed Three Rivers
which had kids too young to remember WE ARE FAMILY. That prepared me for what
was seemingly going to be: the Pirates in the World Series. Then another kid
with only 10 major league trips to the plate pulled off the most amazing play
that I have ever seen. Score 2-1 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. With 
Justice on 3rd and Bream on 2nd, Francis Caberra lines a drive to left. Justice
scores of course to tie, but they wake Bream home. One would think that Barry
Bonds could throw him out blindfolded, but the pplay at the plate was VERY
CLOSE with the ump signaling SAFE!!! In re the was he out controversy; I
think it was impossible to tell, but look at the replay for one more thing...
the ump made his signal before either the tag or the touch of the plate. I 
guess he was excited, too.

In re you Monday morning quarterbacks, lay off Leyland; did you ever have to 
make that big of a decision? I would have done the same thing. Leyland is
ONE CLASS ACT. I thought that the Bucs deserved it last year and he was one
gracious winner under the fire of incessant CBS questioning. This year that
goes TRIPLE!!! And I think I know why McCarver is an announcer. Go back to 
when Smith had a 3-0 count on Bell and Pendleton talked him into remaining 
careful. Had McCarver been the Braves catcher, Smith woudl have given up a
down the middle guaranteed RBI and the Blue Jays would be packing for Western
Pennsylvania. Then McCarver suggested a red light for Caberra. This is why
we have Bobby Cox as manager and Terry Pendleton for tem leader. Keep you 
dumb advice to yourself Timmie. 

We Barves fans owe both congrats and thanks to the Bucs. The choppers and
the players both entered this series like it was theirs to sit on; the 
reality that we might lose not only brought the CHOP to full potential, but
did you notice that the rally caps are back in the dugout? The Braves will
need that glorious feeling of last year if they hope to compete with Toronto.

Final thought: Cox has a starting rotation problem with Avery having to do
so much last night. I would go with Smith/Glavine/Avery/Smoltz/Glavine/Avery
and Smoltz for game 7. Any other thoughts on this?
