Baseball playoffs
Clemens claims elbow healthy forAL series
BOSTON (AP) — Roger Clemens, the most
dominant pitcher in baseball this season, said his
injured right elbow was “100 percent” ready
Monday as the Boston Red Sox prepared to
meet the California Angels in Game 1 of the
American League playoffs.
Clemens, who was 3-0 against the Angels this
year, admitted his elbow that was hit by a line
drive last week was still “sore to touch.”
But the right-hander, who led the AL with a
24-4 record and 2.48 earned run average, said
he would be fine to start tonight’s playoff
opener against Mike Witt.
“My arm’s 100 percent,” Clemens said. When
pressed for details about his recovery, he firmly
replied, “I don’t want to talk about my arm any
more.”
Witt was 18-10 this year and 1-2 against Bos
ton. Overall, the Angels won the season series 7-
5, with the teams splitting six games at Fenway
Park.
While Clemens’ problems may have cleared
up, another injury clouded the outlook for the
start of the best-of-seven series.
Reggie Jackson, the Angels’ designated hitter,
again was in the postseason spotlight, nursing a
left hand injured when he hit a dugout wall Sat
urday night during a game at Texas. California
Manager Gene Mauch said the incident oc
curred when Jackson got upset after making an
out.
X-rays on Jackson’s hand were negative, and
he took batting practice Monday.
“I think by tomorrow (today) I’ll be 100 per
cent,” Jackson said. “I’ve hurt my hands a lot,
but my hands have always come back.”
Mauch said he would wait until today before
deciding on a lineup for the 8:20 p.m. EDI
game.
Jackson, despite his “Mr. October" reputa
tion, has a career average of only .234 in 10 play
off series. However, in the World Series, he has
hit .357 with 10 home runs in five appearances,
thereby gaining his nickname.
Two other Boston players who had been
slowed by minor injuries, third baseman Wade
Boggs and catcher Rich Gedman, were expecied
to start Game 1.
Boggs, the major leagues’ batting championat
.357, did not play in Boston’s final four games
because of a right hamstring injury.
“Four days off and sitting in the trainers
room doing the therapy drove me crazy," Boggs
said. “I just hope the therapy worked.”
Chilly temperatures in the upper 40s were
forecast for tonight.
NL championship to create pitching duels
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Manager Hal
Lanier realizes very well that it will be strength-
against-strength when the Astros meet the New
York Mets in the National League playoffs.
“They won their division so early because of
their pitching,” Lanier said. “That’s their
strength. They have so many people who can
shut you down.”
However, the Astros also have superb pitch
ing. Their staff finished with an earned run av
erage of 3.15, second in the National League,
behind the Mets’ 3.11. The Astros had one
stretch, beginning on Sept. 23, during which
they won six of eight games, all by shutouts.
The best-of-seven playoff series begins
Wednesday night in the Astrodome, with 1985
NL Cy Young Award winner Dwight Gooden of
New York facing Mike Scott, who led the NL
with 306 strikeouts and pitched a no-hitter
against San Francisco on Sept. 25 when the As
tros clinched the NL West. Scott was 18-10,
while Gooden was 17-6 for the Mets, who
clinched the NL East on Sept. 17.
Lanier, first-year manager for the Astros, has
a great deal of respect for his Mets counterpart,
Davey Johnson. And he realizes the Mets nave
more weapons than just pitching.
“Davey’s done a great job, and I think the dif
ference this year with the Mets is that they’re not
just one pitcher,” said Lanier, who was a coach
for the pennant-winning St. Louis Cardinals last
year. “They’ve had Kevin Mitchell, Tim Teufel
and Len Dykstra all for the whole season. They
can go to their bench. They have better balance
and a stronger bench.
“You throw a left-hander at them, and they
come back with Mitchell. You throw a right
hander, and they come at you with Dykstra,
Wally Backman and Howard Johnson.”
The Mets’ manager, on the other hand, ret
ognizes Lanier’s game plan, refined as a coach
under Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog. On
offense, the Astros’ philosophy is to attack, be
aggressive, take the extra base.
“You know pretty much what the other guys
style of managing is,” Johnson said, “so you tend
to anticipate what kind of moves he’s going to
make.
“Anytime a team plays up to its potential,
you’ve done a good job as a manager. And the
Houston club was the best of any one in theNa
tional League in the second half of the year."
Pointing out the age of the Houston staff-
Nolan Ryan is 39 and Bob Knepper is 32 —Mets
right-hander Ron Darling said he thought the
edge in pitching still belonged to the Mets.

MIAMI (AP) — To paraphrase
Mark Twain, reports of the death of
the Miami Dolphins’ championship
hopes may not have been greatly ex
aggerated.
Before Sunday’s game at New En
gland, Coach Don Shula had talked
about problems having hit bottom,
but that his team might be ready to
turn it around.
After the Patriots handed the Dol
phins their fourth loss in five games,
34-7, Miami was on target to become
Shula’s all-time worst team, sliding
below the injury-plagued, 6-8 1976
squad.
“We’re doing everything a losing
football team does,” Shula said.
“You hate to be associated with a
team that isn’t competitive.”.
“Everything negative, nothing
positive,” embattled defensive coor
dinator Chuck Studley said. “No
question, serious doubts are begin
ning to creep into the minds of our
players.”
The Dolphins’ players have
adopted a pledge not to point fin
gers, and Shula and his coaches have
indicated there were no plans for
major lineup changes or trades.
This is basically the same team
that handed the Super Bowl cham
pion Chicago Bears their only loss
last season and lost to New England
in the AFC championship game.
Sunday was another combination
of poor effort between the defense
and offense, with Marino throwing
three interceptions and totalingonh
167 yards.
Steve Hummer, columnistfortkt
Fort Lauderdale News and Sun-Sen
tinel, wrote: “With what the Do!
phins have become, they qualifietl
Sunday for New England’s home
coming opponent. They are the Mi
ami Sacrificial Lambs.”
The Dolphins were lustily I
at the end of the 49ers loss, will
some fans putting sacks over theit
heads.
