A’s hoping to face
Toronto in playoffs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The
Oakland Athletics would rather play
the Toronto Blue Jays in the Ameri
can League playoffs.
“We’ve got a lot of work, a lot of
things we need to accomplish before
it’s all said and done, and we’re
going to get right to it,” said Dave
Stewart, who won his career-high
22nd game in shutting out Kansas
City 5-0 in the clincher Tuesday.
“If I had my choice, it would be
Toronto,” said Rickey Henderson,
who had three hits and scored two
runs as Oakland won its third con
secutive AL West title. “They have
that indoor ballpark. Back east, it’s
going to be cold. I’d rather play in
that indoor ballpark.”
Echoes Jose Canseco: “Toronto.
I’d rather play against Toronto in
Toronto because I like their stadium
and I like playing against them.”
The A’s will play out a string of
eight games before starting the play
offs against the East Division winner.
The Blue Jays held a 1 '/a-game lead
over the Boston Red Sox going into
Wednesday night’s games.
Henderson will likely rest his ach
ing thumb for much of the eight
games. Canseco is suffering from a
sore back, but he said he will likely
play Thursday after missing six
straight games.
But the same spirit that made the
Athletics the first team to win a divi
sion three straight times since the
Kansas City Royals, Philadelphia
Phillies and New York Yankees did
it from 1976-78 is likely to carry over
into the playoffs.
“My highs have been high, but I
just feel blessed to be on this team,”
said Stewart, who pitched a no-hitter
in June and has won some important
games for the A’s. “We don’t want to
be at the bottom end of the totem
pole when all is said and done. We
want to be on top.”
“You hate to see this, especially
with the expectations we had,” Roy
als Manager John Wathan said. “But
it was inevitable the way they played.
“It’s human nature to have a let
down after you win a world’s
championship, but they certainly
have not showed any signs of a let
down. It’s tough to keep repeating
the way baseball is. It just shows how
strong a club they are.”
Stewart had a two-hitter and re
tired 13 of 14 batters before George
Brett singled with two out in the
sixth.
The Athletics opened the game
with three straight singles off Kevin
Appier (11-8) and scored runs in the
first two innings.
It all added up to a sweet night for
A’s manager Tony LaRussa, who ac
cepted a congratulatory hug from
Royals pitcher Storm Davis in the
Oakland clubhouse.
“Excuse me, I’ve got to see a
friend,” LaRussa said before greet
ing Davis, who pitched for Oakland
before signing with the Royals as a
free agent.
“Every time, it gets better,” La
Russa said.
Syracuse backup QB takes
to field for final minutes
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — For
the first time since the 1989
Peach Bowl, Syracuse quar
terback Mark McDonald got into
a football game other than to
hold for the kicker.
McDonald, a junior from
Klein, Texas, played the final
minutes of Syracuse’s 20-20 tie
with Pittsburgh on Saturday, re
placing injured starter Marvin
Graves.
Several times last season, Mc
Donald came off the bench in re
lief of Bill Scharr and rallied the
Orangemen in the waning mo
ments, including Syracuse’s 19-18
victory over Georgia in the Peach
Bowl.
But he couldn’t move the
Orangemen on Saturday against
the Panthers. He started Syra
cuse’s final series with a 10-yard
completion to fullback Duane
Kinnon. But McDonald was
dropped for a 2-yard loss on the
next play and followed with two
incompletions, which killed the
drive.
McDonald said that, although
he was used to it, it still was tough
going into the game under those
circumstances Saturday.
In most cases last season he
came on in relief for more than
just one series.
“That’s the way football is.
You’ve got to be ready for one
play or one series or the whole
game,” McDonald said. “I got a
nttle taste of the season, and that
just helps me getting in there for
a series like that, wlien it means
something, and next time, hope
fully, it will be different.”
McDonald didn’t envision be
ing a backup this season. After
all, he played in 11 games last
year and started against Boston
College and Louisville.
This was supposed to be his
year until Graves, a redshirt
freshman, played well enough in
the spring and summer to take
the startingjob.
McDonald said he felt he was
neck-and-neck with Graves until
suffering a bruise to his left thigh
two weeks before the season
opener against Southern Califor
nia cost him practice time.
McDonald could not practice at
full speed and didn’t endure any
more contact before the Southern
Cal game.
Still, Syracuse Coach Dick Mac-
Pherson did not name Graves as
his starting quarterback until the
day before the game.
“I don’t think it helped my
chances, that’s the way I look at
that,” McDonald said of the in
jury. “It just delayed my time be
ing out there, getting confidence
and getting with the team. That
definitely was a negative part.”
McDonald has accepted his
role as Graves’ backup.
His attitude toward playing is
the same as it was last year — be
ing mentally and physically pre
pared when his time comes.
“My role is be ready when he
(Graves) gets in trouble or he gets
injured and for me to step in and
keep the pace up,” he said.
Yet, McDonald said it’s tough
to practice hard every day not
knowing what’s going to happen
during games. He said it’s some
thing he’s going to have to deal
with.
“I think anybody who’s com
petitive wants the job, they want
to be number one and you say,
‘That could be me out there
doing that.’ It’s tough," he said.
“When I say deal with it, I mean
you’ve got to make the best of it
and you can’t get your head
down. You have to stay focused
and be positive.”
“Marvelous” Marvin, who has
been sensational running the op
tion and passing, will only be a
sophomore next year and Mc
Donald will be a senior. Barring
an injury to Graves, McDonald
will be in the same situation. But
he said that’s too far down' the
line to discuss.

relief, trying to find one with the
right leadership qualities.
Joining the Aikman-Walsh
combination, we have Mike
Tomzcak fighting to get his job back
from Jim Harbaugh. Neither one of
the QB’s has shown the potential to
be a Mike Ditka style-player despite
winning games.
Last Sunday Cowboy fans
watched the loyal Redskin fans hiss
at Mark Rypien when he missed his
targeted receiver. It was hard to tell
if the crowd was cheering when
Rypien hobbled off the field with an
injury or if they were showing their
sympathy. Nevertheless they were
glad to see young Stan Humphries
run on to the field.
Many other teams are embroiled
with similar controversies. Green
Bay looks to have finally given the
startingjob back to Don Majkowski
after Anthony Dilweg started the
season off with a win over the Bears.
In San Diego the future of the
team was to have been with Billy Joe
Tolliver. But veteran Mark Vlasic
returned from knee surgery to get
the nod in the first game. Vlasic’s
success soon turned sour and
Tolliver has his job back.
Jeff Chandler, former starter for
the Indianapolis Colts before an
injury and the drafting of Jeff
George, moved to Tampa Bay. If
Testaverde remains inconsistent,
which is very possible, Chandler is a
very able quarterback to fill the
position after showing sparks of
potential with the Colts.
Then their are the teams with out
a leader to speak of. The New
England Patroits aren’t bragging
about Marc Wilson, Steve Grogan,
and rookie Tommy Hodson.
Neither are the New York Jets, with
Ken O’Brien, Pat Ryan, and Tony
Eason.
And there is New Orleans and
John Fourcade, a guy who played
Arena football before jumping on
with the Saints and now finds
himself the leader.
Texas A&M is lucky to have two
quarterbacks in Lance Pavlas and
Bucky Richardson.Both have
different styles but are very capable
of stepping in when needed to lead
the team. The best part about this
situation is both guys are not
whining, but pulling for each other.
So after all the Montanas, El ways,
and Marinos are the rest of the
quarterbacks. Each is looking for a
chance to shine. Some will try but
fail. Still others will never even get
the chance to try, but wear a pair of
headphones and signal in plays from
the sideline for a year.
