10/1 7-2 W over the Giants
Don Robinson got another start, but never really got going. An arm injury in the 2^nd inning sent him to the lockers early. Kirk Vucsko (2-2) came on and threw 3 strong, walking 3 and striking out 5. LA did it all with 12 singles today. No extra base hits at all. Lee Stevens was the player of the game going 3-4 with an RBI in the leadoff spot, playing for Von Hayes. Inky, O'Brien, and Wilkerson all had 2 hit games as well.

The M's took another one from the Rangers and eliminated them from the playoffs. The Angels eeked out a 6-5 win in Minnesota to keep pace. It all comes down to the final day. The Angels will send Mike Witt to the mound in search of his 20^th against the Twins Frank Viola (12-11). The M's will send Mike Moore (14-8) against the Rangers Curt Young (6-7). Could we see another 1 game playoff like we saw last year?

10/2 7-5 L to the Giants
We don't end on a high note, getting knocked off by a team with 113 losses, at home. Bryn Smith (16-13) started and took the loss, but this one is really on Niedenfuer who let all of Smith's runners score, then allowed 3 more of his own in an inning of work. LA managed to snag a couple off of stud reliever Bryan Harvey (1.95 ERA) and homers by Lee Stevens (3) and Inky (11) are the last we'll see this year. O'Brien went 3-4, and Stevens, Winfield, and Inky all had 2 hit games today. It was simply another failure by the bullpen that let us down. Dan Plesac closed out for his 22^nd save of the season.

Mike Witt did get his 20^th win and the Angels won again, but they will go home this year, with no playoff. The Seattle Mariners, complete the 4 game sweep of the Rangers, at home, as Mike Moore picks up the win in a 5-1 victory.

Roger Clemens wins his 19^th on an Indians team that lost 95 games. He strikes out 13 in his final game and may me making a strong case for AL Cy Young.

Don Robinson blew his elbow out and the timing couldn't have been worse for him. At best he is out until the all star break and he is a free agent. So he's on his own for rehab until he's healthy again. I doubt we'll see him in an LA uniform anymore. As bad as '87 was, '88 was much better, even then, he went 0-11, with 13 saves and a 3.80 ERA for LA.
