Friday night 11-15, 15-7, 15-7, 5-15 and

A crowd of 2,388 in the Bob Devaney
Sports Center watched the games, which
marked the games, which marked the
second time on the current tour that
the teams had to play five sets in the
best of five series.
The Cuban team has lost only one
match in 14 months to China in the
World Cup.
Cathy Noth, a setter on the U.S. team
and a UNL graduate, received the key
to Lincoln in a pre-game ceremony.
During each time-out, the sidelined
served the game and match point for a
15-7 and 3-2 five-game Cuban win.

were even worse, yet we didn't capitalize
on it.
"That's what you have to do with a
team like that, when they're that good.

have to jump on top of them."
Kirby said she thinks the U.S. team
is improving.
"We did a lot better tonight. We're
competing better because we're focus

Noth agreed with Kirby and said the

'Codgers' deserve bottom ranking;
Saberhagen is 'most hated' player
Quote of the week: Reporter:
"How does it feel to win the pennant?"
Dick Dietz (Giants catcher): "It
feels great, and the Dodgers can go to
hell." (After the Giants won the Western
Division in 1971.) . .-.
i Dick Dietz won't go to the Hall of
f Fame, but he deserves a spot in the
heart of Dodger haters for that comment;
Goodwin's
Bad Ones
Once again this week the Codgers
top the Bottom 10 and bring up the rear
or whatever. Some people might think
I'm putting them there just because I
(lout' like them. Some people might be
right. But, for this week at least, the
Dodgers deserve the ranking for their
play.
The Dodgers' hitting, which hasn't
been very good since Babe Herman
retired in the 1930s, is even more
anemic this year. But this year's real
problem is the pitching staff. Except
for Orel Hershiser and Fernando Val
enzuela, Los Angeles hasn't had con
sistent performances from its starters.
On to other topics. You'll recall last
week that I asked you to send me your
nominations for the player you hate
most in the major league. Actually, we
could even extend this to all of base
ball. If there's someone out there with
the Toledo Mud Hens that you can't
stand, you can send him in.
Well, as usual, the response was
underwhelming. Unlike some occasions
in the past, however, at least I got a
response this time. Here it is, from Tom
Schipporeit, a graduate student: "I
hate Bret Saberhagen for the way he
uses his tongue to remove Red Man
juice from his upper lip. Looks like a
cow with a runny nose."
Thanks for the response, Tom.
So there you have it, folks. According
to this informal, unsophisticated, devil-may-care
poll, Bret Saberhagen, darling
of the World Series, devoted husband
and father of a young daughter, is the
most hated man in baseball. Only you
can prevent this, friends. Write those
letters now! What about Steve Garvey??
What about Pete Rose?? What about
the Yankees???? What about the Dod
gers?????? Still other topics: This year's Orioles
media guide (they used to be press
guides, but now they're media guides.
La-de-da.) has the records of all teams
for the past 30 years. Every team that
has been around for all of those years,
at least. The Orioles, not surprisingly,
have the best record over those 30
years. It is, after all, their press guide.
You'd hardly expect to find this list in
the Indians' guide, for example.
The list has some surprises. Natural
ly, the Cubs, White Sox and Indians are
near the bottom. So, surprisingly, are
the A's in spite of three world
championships in the early 1970s. What
this tells the knowledgeable baseball
fan and we're all knowledgeable
fans, aren't we? is that the A's really
have been stinkers some years. Quite a
few years, in fact. So take heart, all ye
downtrodden Pirates and Mariners fans.
Hope still lives.
