Tech 'staining
won't rinse
game Saturday and kicked off my
new Sperry' Top-Siders, only to
discover that the rain-drenching
they had just received at Kyle
Field had caused them to stain
my feet red.
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.) I
enough to convince me thaiij I
Aggie fans form their opii ™
from what they see on ihe
rather than what they hear*
anybody. No coach talking at* I
his team or sportswriter wc; I
about what the coach saysieI:
a bit of difference.
11
We’re at a point in the seas ■
where the smokescreen bid p
up.
The news is out and it'ii
same as the old news. TheAggt
are struggling on the fot4
field.
1 can hardly wait to hear/
Sherrill is going to say ai a
week’s press conference.
But I learned mylessonni
Tech game. I’m wearingmrl
waders to this Aggie roast.

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
