Team came close
Lanier: Astros
not ashamed
HOUSTON (AP) — Although the
Houston Astros were beaten in the
National League playoff's, Manager
Hal Lanier says the team has noth
ing to be ashamed of following their
six-game loss to the New York Mets.
“We don't need to hang our heads
to anyone,” Lanier said. “We have a
great ball club and all we have to do
is look forward to next year. If we
had to lose a ball game, I’m glad we
did it the way we did, swinging.”
Lanier was referring to Wednes
day’s dramatic 7-6, 16-inning loss to
the Mets in the sixth game of the se
ries.
The Astros disbanded Thursday
and headed into the off-season,
thinking about how close they had
come to winning their first NL pen
nant.
The Mets won the series 4-2 and
will face the Boston Red Sox in the
World Series, beginning Saturday
night, while the Astros were left
wondering what happened to their
pitching relief and their clutch hit
ting.
Astros relievers pitched well dur
ing the regular season, but faltered
in the playoffs.
After winning the NT’s West Divi
sion with aggressive running and
timelydutting, the Astros left 39 run
ners stranded in six playoff games.
The Astros had the tying and win
ning runs on base in the 16th inning
Wednesday when Kevin Bass struck
out to end the 4-hour, 42-minute
marathon game.
“I took it personally when they
(Mets players) said there was a big
difference between the middle re
lievers on the two teams,” Astros re
liever Larry Andersen said. “I think
people will remember this as a great
series, not as a series the Astros’ bull
pen lost.”
In six playoff games, the Astros’
relievers had a 4.17 earned run aver
age in 15lA innings.
Dave Smith, who set a club record
with 33 saves during the regular sea
son, yielded a game-winning home
run in the third game and Charlie
Kerfeld allowed the game-winning
single in the fifth game.
Smith also had a tough 1% inning
performance in the final game,
walking three batters.
“In the third game, I threw a ter
rible pitch, but today (Wednesday) I
thought I pitched well,” Smith said.
“If I get the call, I should get the
game over.”
Smith disputed calls by home
plate umpire Fred Brocklander
when he was trying to protect Hous
ton’s lead in the ninth inning
Wednesday.
“I threw it four inches over the
plate and he called it a ball and then
I threw it four inches outside and he
called it a strike,” Smith said.
Lanier brought in Jeff Calhoun
during New York’s game-winning
16th-inning uprising with Jim De-
shaies and Danny Darwin still avail
able.
“When you go 16 innings, you’re
not going to have your No. 1 reliever
in there,” Lanier said. “I brought
Calhoun in because there were a
bunch of left-handers coming up.
He’s proven he can get left-handers
out.”
The Astros left seven runners on
base in the fifth game, which they
lost 2-1 in 12 innings.
“Our biggest problem was our in
ability to get a base hit with runners
in scoring position,” Lanier said.
“We left a lot of men on base, espe
cially in the fifth game and we did it
throughout the series.”
Family hopes Redskin’s death
will help in fight against AIDS
SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) —
The family of former Washington
Redskins’ tight end Jerry Smith, who
died of complications from AIDS,
said Thursday they hoped the All-
Pro’s death brings “something posi
tive” in the fight against the deadly
disease.
Smith, 43, died at Holy Cross
Hospital at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, 11
months after learning he had ac
quired immune deficiency syn
drome.
At an emotional press conference,
Smith’s sister, Bonnie Gilchrist, read
a statement from the former star re
ceiver and said: “Like Jerry, we hope
that something positive will come
out of all of this. That way, what
happened to Jerry and thousands of
other men, women and children like
him won’t have been for nothing.”
Most days have been hard, diffi
cult, bad, but there is never anything
so bad that something good doesn’t
come from it,” Smith’s message said.
“My own experience with AIDS has
shown me that life is important —ev
ery life. I am trying hard to fight
AIDS the best way I know how, by
letting people know how terrible it
is.”
Smith is the first professional ath
lete known to have died of the dis
ease that has claimed approximately
13,000 lives in five years in the.
United States.
Smith died of an infection known
as cytomegalovirus, a complication
of AIDS, according to Dr. Bernard
Heckman. The doctor said he did
not know how Smith got the disease,
which afflicts mostly homosexuals
and intravenous drug users.
When his disease was publicized
in August, Smith refused to discuss
his lifestyle, saying only that the ill
ness “just happened.”
Former teammates recalled
Smith, who once held the record
among tight ends for pass recep
tions, as a courageous and hard
working player.
“He was a person who could never
tell anyone no,” said former
Redskins’ safety Brig Owens, now an
official with the NFL Players Asso
ciation, who was Smith’s roommate
for 11 years on the team.
“He was a fighter, a person who
never gave up,” Owens said.
