It seemed appropriate. If I had only had a few balls of black lint from Friday’s socks still cling ing between my toes, it would have been perfect. Like so many “high plains drifters,” Texas Tech painted a lot of our faces red too. All I could hear in the stands Saturday was fans groaning, gas ping and cursing. (Yes, they were cursing.) Others expressed their discontent by stoically standing in the rain. I did a little bit of everything. At last Tuesday’s press confer ence, Head Coach Jackie Sherrill had me believing that all was well in the Aggie camp and that A&M had won their first three games the “hard way" because that was the way it should be done early in the season. That makes sense. I felt better about the Aggies not delivering crushing defeats to their starving fans. They were simply tuning up a lot of players and working out some kinks in consistency. Okay, I’ll buy that this time. Friday evening, I found myself arguing with another fan alxiut Aggie football. He has the same views that I’ve heard a lot lot of fans express. First, the Aggies don’t win enough. Second, the coaching is overrated. Finally, the Aggies don’t play good non-con ference teams. 1 argued until the veins bulged in my neck because 1 fell like he didn’t understand that the Ag gies had not intended to kill their opponents and that he didn't un derstand that Iowa State, Arkan sas State and UTEP were better than people thought. I don’t necessarily believeikM but (he way he twisted hii!j i when he heard me quoting[fj I hall according to Sherrill.)

Padres shattei Cubs’ dreams Cardii Stadiu /ears. In s :ord ; game Jowbi “W< Dallas United Press International SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres now know what heaven is all about. Talk about your impossible dreams. The Padres beat the seem ingly unbeatable man, Rick Sutcliffe, Sunday and defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-3 behind a four-run seventh inning rally to win their first pen nant in their 16-year history. San Diego also became the first NL team to win a best-of-five playoff after losing the first two games. I he Padres play the Detroit Tigers in the World Series, beginning Tuesday night at San Diego. Jack Morris will pitch for the Tigers and Mark Thur mond for the Padres. The clinching victory was aided by a Cubs’ collapse that mirrored the frustrations the franchise has en dured for 39 years. “We got some breaks,” admitted San Diego manager Dick Williams, “and we took aclvantage of them. Then everything fell into place. I al ways had hope we would get to Sut cliffe but he had stymied us every- time we went out there.” Held for five innings to only two hits by Sutcliffe, who had won 15 straight games, including a 13-0 tri umph in the series opener, the Padres began their comeback by scoring twice in the sixth on sacrifice flies by Graig Nettles and Terry Kennedy to pull within 3-2. Then, in the seventh, the clear blue California sky fell on the Cubs. Sutcliffe walked Carmelo Martinez to start the inning and Garry Tem pleton sacrificed. Pinch-hitter Tim Flannery, batting for winning re liever Craig Lefferts, grounded to first baseman Durham. The ball went between Durham’s legs and Martinez scored the tying run. “We were loking for one break and we got it,” said Steve Garvey, the series’ Most Valuable Player. “Bull (Durham) had an excellent season and he’s a fine first baseman but the ball never came up. It stayed down and was the break that kept us going.” Alan Wiggins then dumped a sin gle into short left and with the re cord-setting crowd of 58,359 on its feet screaming, Tony Gwynn ripped a bouncer over the glove of second baseman Ryne Sandberg for a two- run double. Garvey, the hero of Saturday night’s 7-5 victory with five RBI, sin gled in Gwynn to all but end Chi cago’s hope for its first pennant since 1945. “It wasn’t that I was really hit that hard until Garvey’s hit,” said Sut cliffe, who was 16-1 with the Cubs this season and is the leading candi date for the NL’s Cy Young Award. “They happened to find the holes, that’s baseball. I’m not looking for excuses, I made some mistakes and we lost the game.” Cubs manager Jim Frey said he had no intention of pulling his ace right-hander early in the inning. "I can’t deny the fact that ihitB is one ol the major reasonswegd ;even durin] :his. I ivhen this position,” Frey said. “Hewti throwing well up there. Ifeitte the halls had been caught,wen have been out of the situation, second hall (Gwynn’s could’ve been a double play. Ip ill da hit hard and took a bad hop."
