Editor's note: Tliis is the second of a four-part series
predicting the outcome of the 1983 major league baseball
season. All four stories will be the opinion of the author.
By Tim Woods
Three of the last four World Series champions - Pitts
burgh, Philadelphia and St. Louis - have come from the
National League's Eastern Division.
Yet Montreal - the division's winningest team the past
four seasons - has won just one divisional championship
during that time. Led by new manager Bill Virdon, the
Expos' turn to win it all should come in 1983.
MONTREAL: Virdon, the third Expos skipper in as
many seasons, has as much talent at his disposal as any
manager today. His mission - and he has no choice but to
accept it - is to take Montreal to the Series, something
that his predecessors, Dick Williams and Jim Fanning,
were unable to do.
Catcher Gary Carter, first baseman Al Oliver and cen
ter fielder Andre Dawson are the nucleus of an explosive
offense. Steve Rogers, Bill Gullickson, Scott Sanderson
and Charlie Lea form a solid starting rotation. Jeff Rear
don and Woodie Fryman head a reliable bullpen.
So what's been keeping the Expos home in October?
Well, no one really knows. Montreal couldn't win
with Williams, who is certainly one of the best managers
around. They couldn't win with Fanning, who Oliver said
was "too nice a man to be a manager."
So the Expos hired Virdon, a no-nonsense tactician
who was fired after last season by Houston. If Oliver
thinks Montreal needs a "tough guy" manager to win the
East, then Virdon could be the one to supply that discip
line. One key question needs to be answered, though: name
ly, the availability of left fielder Tim Raines. Potentially
one of the game's most exciting players and best leadoff
men, Raines underwent off-season treatment for a cocaine
habit on which he spent nearly $50,000 last season.
Raines' comeback will affect Montreal's chances to win
the East, but the Expos still appear to be a solid bet. You
can only keep a good team down for so long.
ST. LOUIS: The Cardinals won their ninth world
championship last year by being a remarkably consistent
club, winning 46 games both at home and on the road.
Manager Whitey Herzog has all the horses necessary to win
it all again.
But the Redbirds have several key holes to fill. Their
starting pitching, a real question mark before last season,
remains a problem for Herzog after Steve Mura was lost in
the free-agent compensation pool, and John Stuper, who
looked so good during the second half of the season and
in the National League Championship Series and World
Series, developed a sore pitching arm during spring train

ing. So Herzog has only two proven starters, Joaquin An
dujar and Bob Forsch, as the team prepares to head north.
But St. Louis has a solid bench, led by utility infielder
Mike Ramsey and outfielders David Greene and Dane
Iorg. They have a solid nickel-and-dime offense, which is
geared to the slick artificial turf and wide expanses of
Busch Memorial Stadium. And they have the NL's pre
mier relief pitcher, Bruce Sutter.
So the Redbirds will be dangerous once again, and
could easily top Montreal if the Expos falter.
PHILADELPHIA: The Phillies are celebrating their
100th anniversary by fielding the NL's oldest lineup, one
averaging nearly 33 years of age.
But wisdom comes with age, and Philly is hoping that
newly acquired 39-yearold second baseman Joe Morgan
and 41 -year-old first baseman-pinch hitter Tony Perez will
coax one last year of brilliance out of Father Time.
Still, the pitching is woefully thin behind four-time Cy
Young Award winner Steve Carlton and Dick Ruthven,
the only Phillies to win more than 10 games last season.
And unless Manager Pat Corrales can find a bullpen stop
per - Ron Reed led the club with just 14 saves a year ago,
compared with Sutter's 36 - Philly could have a lot of
trouble staying in ball games.
PITTSBURGH: The Pirates have two of the game's
bright young stars, catcher Tony Pena and second base
man Johnny Ray, plus a good pitching staff, led by John
Candelaria and Kent Tekulve.
But the Bucs lost speedy center fielder Omar Moreno
Water !d
By Chris Welsch
- Jerry Althouse jumped into the water March 2.
Althouse, president of the UNL Water Ski team,
began spring training before most snow skiers get off
the slopes.
"It wasn't that cold," he said. "If you fall down
though, that's a shock."
Althouse and about 50 members of the water ski
team are training more intently than last season. After
several unsuccessful attempts to obtain funding from
UNL, team manager Bill Schneiderwind found support
from Master Craft boats and Lawlor's sporting goods
store.
The team hopes to construct a slalom course, of several
buoys, at Pawnee Lake. Both Althouse and Schneiderwind
are looking for a lake they can use exclusively.
Water ski competition includes three events: the slalom
event, the trick event and the jump event.

to free agency, and no current Pirate can likely do the
tilings Moreno could be in the leadoff slot. Lee Lacy and
the much-traveled Lee Mazzilli will try to replace Moreno,
but what Pittsburgh desperately needs is a return to form
by Dave Parker, who played in just 73 games a year ago.
CHICAGO: General Manager Dallas Green is slowly
building the Cubs, although the team probably won't
finish any higher than fifth.
Still, Greene is trying to instill a winning attitude in
Wrigley Field. Acquiring third baseman Ron Cey from
Los Angeles during the off-season was a step in the right
direction.
NEW YORK: The Mets were awful in 1982, and th'ev
really don't look much better going into 1983. Newly
acquired Tom Seaver and Mike Torrez, who finished a
combined 14-22 with a 5.33 ERA last year, are being
counted on to bolster the Mets' starting rotation, so the
pitching doesn't appear to be that promising.
The Mets should be equally inept on offense, especially
with catcher John Stearns, a .293 hitter in 1982, out in
definitely with a torn rotator cuff in his throwing shoul
der. Still, it will be interesting to watch Mets first baseman
Dave Kingman, who had more strikeouts (156) than base
hits (149) a year ago, and free agent slugger George Fos
ter, a left fielder who was paid $2 million in 1982 but hit
just 13 homers.
Tomorrow: American League West
In the slalom event, the skier must maneuver around
six buoys placed on alternating sides of the boat's path.
Points are based on the speed of the boat and the length
of the tow rope. Althouse is considered a top contender
for a national collegiate slalom title this year,
Schneiderwind said.
Skiers have 20 seconds to perform as many tricks as
possible in the trick event. A special squarish pair of
trick skis are used in this event.
The jump event is usually the last event in college
meets. Distance is the only factor judged in the jump
competition. All three events are totaled for the overall
awards. Men's and women's scores are totaled to
determine the championship team of the tournament.
Only the top five individuals on a team compete for
points in each event.

Annual Cornhusker Open Intercollegiate Water Ski
Tournament April 22 at the Peterson-Piercy ski site
