Stormy mutterings

By Jeff Mayfield

[JUNE 2, 2003]  Here's hoping that everyone survived another round of storms and at least saved life and limbs! To those who suffered other losses, our hearts go out to you. It is gratifying to see so many good neighbors rise to the forefront to help out whenever they are needed. With that being said, let's go with one of life's little diversions -- sports…

Hats off to Mount Pulaski's baseball team for an outstanding season. They did come up a little short versus Rochester at Pleasant Plains this weekend, but they did finish the season with a sparkling 22-7 record. Who knows what may have happened had they been able to slip past the Rockets?

Congrats to senior Lydia Moehring. The LDN has learned that Moehring was named to the Central State Eight all-conference softball team. She was joined by teammate Tiffany Tungate, who was a special mention selection.

Congratulations should also go out to Ryne Komnick and Curt Courtwright, who made the CS8's baseball all-conference team. They were joined in the honor circle by Paul Phillips, who was chosen special mention.

The Railers finished the season 18-17 and 7-7 in league play -- good enough for a third-place finish.

The Lady Railers went 6-8 in the league, and that got them a tie for fourth place.

Also on the award train was Tricia Dorsey, who made the CS8 elite track squad!

The Cubs suffered a through a tough weekend series with the Astros, taking a 1-0 nail-biter on Saturday that saved them from getting swept. And Houston is a team they're going to have to figure out how to beat if they want a return to the playoffs. Why do I say that? Because they haven't won a series with Houston since 1992. Over the last 10 years the 'Stros have enjoyed a 84-49 record versus the Cubbies, and that won't get it done.

Anybody got tickets for Saturday's Cubs-Yankees game?

Word on the streets is that the Cubs may select Tulane's Michael Aubrey with the sixth pick in the upcoming amateur draft. Aubrey is rated as the No. 2 hitter available in the upcoming sweepstakes. The White Sox appear interested in Brian Anderson with the No. 15 pick. He is rated as the No. 2 five-tool player available! No word on what the Cardinals may do with their top pick.

 

[to top of second column in this article]

The Cubs and White Sox are now regarded as two of the better minor league systems in all of baseball… Oh, how times have changed. I wonder if either one would trade their entire system with the Cardinals? I'm sure they'd make 'em a good deal???

Speaking of the Redbirds, Jason Isringhausen is going to try to heat up his arm and get it ready for big league play for a third time. He is scheduled for a rehab assignment this week. Since all of the Cards' minor teams seem to be on the road, there is some speculation that Jason will stay in St. Louis and maybe pitch in middle inning situations or in mop-up roles.

Hopefully the Birds will have many games well in hand so he can get the work he needs. This team is desperate for him, and it's bordering on the miraculous that St. Louis has held this close to the leaders when they've blown so many games. Think I'm over-exaggerating this thing and blowing it way out of proportion? How about this factoid… Cardinal relievers have blown 14 of 26 save opportunities! Fourteen of them! Whitey Herzog is probably spinning in his… bass boat!

St. Louis did hang on for a much-needed win yesterday over those pesky Bucos. But they came ever so close to getting swept! They are three-for-four on the current 13-game homestand, and they'd better start to make some hay quickly!

How 'bout Kenny Perry winning in back-to-back weeks? He told Jack Nicklaus this weekend after his second straight victory that he didn't know how Jack won so many tournaments. Perry said he was both physically and emotionally drained! That's the way I am after only nine holes here in league play!

Have a great week, everybody!
