Subject: mccarver makes an intelligent comment

did anyone catch when reardon was warming up for the ninth in game four?
mccarver said something like, "i don't understand this.  five years ago,
there would've been no question that reardon should pitch the ninth.  but
reardon is not the reardon of five years ago."

that really surprised me - i was expecting mccarver to say what a great move
it was, since reardon is the all-time saves leader.

to reardon's credit, though, he did do a good job.

They did go all the way.  The final score was 13-4, with Wakefield
pitching a complete game again.  (BTW, that's only the third time that a
pitcher has pitched two complete games in the same league championship
series.)

He pitched his first major league game ever on July 31 of this year, and
it was a complete game victory against the Cardinals (3-2 final).

  I DON'T WANT TO GET MAIL FROM ANY BRAVES FANS! I GET AN EARFUL HERE!!!!!!!!!

 I was glad I was wrong last week about Bonds. YES! YES! YES!!!!!!


1. Is it truly the end of the Pirates NL East reign???

2. More than likely Barry Bonds will leave. What about Andy?

3. Do you wish the Braves just would have won Game 5 and ended the agony?
   (Not that I condone it or dislike it)

4. Will the team fall apart and give up, or fight it out in '93?

5. Don't you just want Toronto to pound the hell out of the Braves in the
   World Series? (I CONDONE this one!)


  The loss hurt, and will continue to for a long time. :(

This is true.  But when SF's pitchers can't hit over .100, it still translates
into an advantage.  Isn't margin more important than the raw numbers?

All I can say is "Ouch."  

How many years are we going to have to wait for the Bucs to pull the trigger?
Leyland's a great manager.  I don't care what anybody else says.

What a great game, although I have to admit, I was pulling for the Pirates too.
We come to expect this sort of outcome, being Red Sox fans.  You Pirates fans
at least have the "Family" in 1979.  We've been waiting for how long now?  75
years?

There are players in the national league who play in the outfield who
would be DHs if they were in the American League. You gotta figure
that the two or three worst fielding right fielders, left fielders,
first basemen, and third basemen in the National League would not be
listed if they were in the American League; they would be designated
hitters.

This does nothing to explain why the National League has a bigger
spread at shortstop than the American League does. I think the
easiest explanation for that is that Jose Offerman happens to play
in the National League.

  Bull.  I have listened to several sets of commentators on my interstate
trips, usually whoever's playing a game that I can pick up.  Also CBS
at times.  The Braves' commentators make it more than a Mr. Spock call
of the game - they make it _fun_.  They never make idiotic comments
like CBS did in last year's World Series, they never slam other teams,
or players, and they seldom misreport information during the game. 
Since I don't have a TV in Atlanta these days, I would be muchly
unhappy were it not for the four Braves announcers.

Otis Nixon (Better than Devon White)

Jeff Blauser (Also better than Devon White :->)

Terry Pendleton (Less power than Carter, but less outs and better D)

Say he hasn't played outfield all year.
Dave Justice has, and I think he'll have a big series.

>John Olerud (#1 lefty-he'll burn the Braves pitching)

If the Braves pitching is on, no one will burn them.
Sid Bream (fastest player with no knees)

>Candy Maldonado (2,3, maybe 4 Hr's in series)

Ron Gant.  If Candy gets four, Gant will get five.
Will Candy play?  This is your fourth outfielder, and 4 games are
played in Atlanta.

>Kelly Gruber (pure defense)

Don't you mean "no offense"?  
Damon Berryhill (#2 catcher)

>Pat Borders (cannon behind the plate)

Mark "Mr. October" Lemke.  Almost Series MVP last year, he's back and
hungry for recognition :->.

>Manuel (a.k.a. Manny) Lee 

Tom Glavine (OK, not a position player, but he bats as well as Lee :->).

Dave was there, and on the field after the game.  Instead of a beer
shower, he went for hot water... and left about an hour after the game.

Derek Bell and a few other players (I want to say "marginal contributors")
trashed Stieb's locker after he left.  Class act, eh?

It wasn't only the Tigers that resented Bell's "performance" on
Saturday afternoon.  (N.B. the Tigers decked Bell twice on Sunday. The
first time there were players waving towels in the dugout, like Bell
was doing during Friday and Saturday's games.)
