Braves and Phillies prepare for postseason play
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — In a mild surprise, Philadelphia Phillies manag
er Jim Fregosi chose Curt Schilling to face Atlanta Braves' Steve Avery
in Wednesday night's opener of the NL playoffs.
Fregosi had been expected to start Tommy Greene because Greene
finished with a better record (16-4) and ERA (3.42), and beat the Braves
in his only start against them this season. Schilling started four times
against Atlanta, losing twice and was involved in two no-decisions, giv
ing up 24 hits and 16 earned runs in 21 1-3 innings.
On Monday, Fregosi declined to discuss the merits of the two right
handers, saying, "he has done a great job. He's pitched well and de
serves to be the opening game pitcher."
Fregosi apparently made the switch so Greene, who is 10-0 at home
this season, could work two games in the best-of-7 series at Veterans
Stadium.
Schilling was 16-7 with a 4.02 ERA, seven complete games and two
shutouts. He won eight and lost only once after the All-Star break.
"It's something you dream about your whole life," Schilling said.
"I'm probably a little nervous, but I'll be fine after strike one. There is
no pressure yet. Pressure is trying to strike out a guy with the bases
loaded.
"This will get Tommy Greene two starts at home. That's one of the
reasons they've done it."
He said one of the keys to beating the Braves is keeping their speed
sters, Otis Nixon and Deion Sanders, off the bases.
Avery has faced the Phillies twice this season, losing to Terry Mul-
holland Aug. 3 and beating Schilling Sept. 26. He worked 13 innings, al
lowing 12 hits and five earned runs.
"I pitched well against them last time," Avery said. "I'm confident I
can beat them."
The Phillies had a two-hour workout Monday, while the Braves rest
ed.
"If Nixon or Sanders get on, that's a problem and we know that,"
catcher Darren Daulton said.
"We're six and six against them, and it's good to know that our of
fense has hit good against the best pitching staff in baseball. We've got
to play great fundamental baseball. If we do that, I think we can win."
Atlanta outfielder Ron Gant, who drove in 115 runs, recalled that the
last time the Braves were at Philadelphia, they won two of three games
"We showed them something there," he said. "1 think it put some
fear in their hearts. The Phillies know that we can play with them."
Fregosi said Greene would pitch the second game, followed by Mul-
holland and Danny Jackson in Games 3 and 4. Atlanta manager Bobby
Cox said Greg Maddux would work Game 2, followed by Tommy
Glavine and John Smoltz.
"This team has responded to every challenge all year long and I
don't expect it to be any different," Fregosi said. "We have played them
well ... I don't see why anything should change. The key for us to win is
to catch the ball."
Fregosi said the Braves were a much better club with the addition of
Maddux and Fred McGriff.
"They were excellent before the M&M boys arrived," Fregosi said.
"Now they're better."
Maddux (20-10) was signed during the off-season as a free agent
from the Chicago Cubs, and McGriff came in a trade with the San Diego
Padres July 18. He hit 19 of his 37 home runs and drove in 55 of his 101
runs after joining the Braves.
McGriff, Gant, and David Justice and his 40 home runs and 120RBIs
terrorized NL pitchers.
The Phillies scored 877 runs, led by Daulton and outfielder Pete In-
caviglia, each with 24 homers. Daulton drove in 105 and Incaviglia 82.
Lenny Dykstra led the majors in runs scored with 143, and topped the
NL in hits (194) and walks (129).
Third baseman Dave Hollins contributed 18 homers and 93 RBIs in
helping the Phillies win the National League East.
Longhorns preparing for Sooner invasion
The Associated Press
AUSTIN - Texas
Longhorns players and
coaches would rather
not talk about their four-
game winning streak
against rival Oklahoma.
The Longhorns (1-2-
1), who face the tenth-
ranked Sooners (4-0) in
Dallas on Saturday, have
haunted Oklahoma over
the past four years.
The Texas victories
ranged from last-minute
comebacks to last year's
34-24 decision, which
was not as close as the
score would indicate.
Fifth-year Oklahoma
coach Gary Gibbs has
never beaten the Long
horns, and Texas coach
John Mackovic said
Monday that any discus
sion of the streak will
only make the Sooners
seethe with more inten
sity.
"I think the streak
means more to Okla
homa than it does to us,"
Mackovic said. "Perhaps
Gary and perhaps the
Oklahoma team say,
'Well, we have lost four
years in a row, we have
to go win.' "
After studying Okla
homa's game films,
Mackovic said he does
not want the Sooners to
have any' more motiva
tional tools than they al
ready have. .
"Their offense is sig
nificantly improved
from a year ago," Mack
ovic said. "The defense
is sound."

Continued from Page 7
Even though it
volve a player, the firing of Bum
Phillips has to be one of the stu
pidest decisions in professional
sports. It was made, of course,
by Houston Oiler owner Bud
Adams.
After leading the Oilers to
two AFC Championship games
and a wildcard berth, Phillips
was replaced by the legendary
Ed Biles. Biles proceeded to go
8-23 over three years.
But what is to be expected
from a man who won't fire Jack
Pardee but hires Buddy Ryan to
help him keep his job.
Second, the Astros.
Trying to get the fans to be
lieve that Jim Clancy would be a
great substitute for Nolan Ryan
hasn't been the only debacle the
Astros' front office has made.
During the 1971 winter meet
ings, Houston traded five play
ers to the Cincinnati Reds for Lee
May, Tommy Helms and Jimmy
Stewart. Three of those players
became contributing members of
the Big Red Machine, while an
other becomes a two-time Na
tional League Most Valuable
Player. Remember a guy named
Joe Morgan?
Greg Gross may not be a Hall
of Famer like Morgan but he was
still able to keep his old team out
of the World Series. In 1976, the
Astros sent Gross, the 1974
Rookie of the Year, packing only
to have him beat them in the
1980 National League Champi
onship Series with a pinch-hit.
The Astros have also lost the
services of outfielders Jeff
Leonard and Billy Hatcher be
cause someone in the front office
thought they were too good. In
1981, Houston received Mike
Ivie from San Francisco for
Leonard and Dave Bergman.
Ivie was soon released while
Leonard was named MVP in the
1987 NLCS.
Billy Hatcher was traded
away to Pittsburgh in 1989 so
the Astros could get the the hot-
hitting Glen Wilson. Hatcher
went on to break to World Series
records with the Reds while Wil
son went on to pump gas.
Finally, the Rockets.
Someone really must have
thought they were doing the
right thing when the Rockets
traded Moses Malone to the
Philadelphia 76ers.
Malone won a NBA champi
onship the next year while the
Rockets got the first pick in the
1983 draft. Then, they chose
Ralph Sampson with that pick.
See a cycle forming?
The Rockets have missed
pretty badly with their top draft
choices. Hakeem Olajuwon,
Robert Horry, John Lucas and
Rudy Tomjanovich are the only
ones in 26 years to really make
an impact.
Instead, they've drafted such
notables as Buck Johnson, Steve
Harris, Ed Turner and John
Stroud. They also whiffed on
drafting a guy by the name of
Michael Jordan in 1984.
Well, at least Houstonians can
reminisce about their hockey and
soccer championships.

ARLINGTON - Texas' Nolan
Ryan and Kansas City's George
Brett didn't get to square of(
pitcher vs. hitter, but Cooper-
stown's Class of 1999 went out to
gether in style Sunday.
The sure future Hall of Tamers
ended their big league careers
watching their teams play an oth
erwise meaningless game at Ar
lington Stadium, which also cele
brated its farewell performance.
Kansas City won 4-1.
Ryan's injured right elbow pre
vented one last head-to-head
duel, so they settled for a pre
game handshaike at home plate as
they exchanged lineup cards.
Brett was in the lineup, batting
in his customary third spot. j
He made outs in his first three
at-bats, then led off the ninth with
his final hit — his 3,154th - on a
grounder up the middle that
shortstop Manuel Lee stopped
and watched roll into center. Brett
scored on Gary Gaetti's homer.
"It was as emotional as I've
ever gotten on a baseball field,”
said Brett, who admitted that
when he reached the plate he felt
his Blood pumping, his eyes wa
tering and his body shaking.
He also noticed that all his
teammates were out of the
dugout, standing and clapping, as
were the Rangers and most of the
sellout crowd of 41,039.
"I said to myself, 'These guys
are really into my last at-bat/"
Brett said with a smile. "I just hit
it and ran. I was telling myself, 'I
gotta run as fast as I ever have in
my life.' I didn't want to run
across the infield back to the
dugout again. I've done that too
many times."
As he trotted to first, Brett
heard the roar of the crowd and
looked up to see the ball rolling
into center. It was thrown into the
dugout as a keepsake and Brett
stood on first, smiling and laugh
ing.
The stadium burst into cheers,
including Ryan, who was happy
to share the spotlight on his final
day as a big leaguer.
"With as great a hitter as
George was, I think it was only
appropriate that he ended his ca
reer with a hit," said Ryan, who
gave up 29 hits to Brett but strucl
him out 18 times.
"He's a real special ballplayer
and person. I was glad to have
played against him."
