Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday, August 23, 1988 5C EXTRA BASES Missed games may cost Schmidt final year of contract games to the Seattle Mariners, of all people. "Contrary to many opinions, I'm not managing the ballclub, either, and I'm sure as hell not making millions of dollars a year for playing a game. But as usually is the case, who else can we blame without getting a teammate PO'd at us or getting the manager and coaches upset with us. Who else is there to blame?" Mattingly was not in a mood to back off. "I meant what I said," he said before Monday night's game with Oakland.

"I don't regret it one bit. It was real and I'm not going to back away from it." Gaetti has knee surgery MINNEAPOLIS Gary Gaetti, one of the leaders of the Minnesota Twins' drive to their first World Se do, should Schmidt not play 130 games this year. Schmidt has raised the possiblity that he might be through for the season if his shoulder doesn't improve by Aug. 28, the first day he's eligible to be activated. Team President Bill Giles said the final decision on next year's contract probably won't be made until the last week of the regular season.

The deadline is Oct. 5. Steinbrenner fires back NEW YORK New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner struck back at Don Mattingly, saying the All-Star first baseman's blistering attack on him was triggered by frustration. "He's a young man who is upset and frustrated because he 'guaranteed a pennant' for the Yankees last winter, the team is playing has been placed on the 15-day disabled list and MacPhail said it was possible that he might return before the end of the season. He would be eligible for postseason play if the Twins can catch Oakland.

Around the leagues Don Buford, a bench coach with the Orioles, was named Baltimore's minor league director of field operations and instruction. Buford, 51, replaces Lance Nichols, who left the organization earlier this month to become director of player development for the Philadelphia Phillies. The New York Yankees activated right-handed pitcher Charles Hudson from the 21-day disabled list. The Yankees made room for Hudson by optioning Hal Morris to their Triple-A affiliate in Columbus. very poorly, and he himself is having a disappointing year by his own admission," Steinbrenner said in a written statement.

Following Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle, Mattingly said Yankee players "get no respect around here. They give you money, that's it. Not respect. Money is not respect." Although Mattingly did not mention Steinbrenner by name, the owner was clearly the target of his outburst. Steinbrenner, referring to himself as "The Boss" in his statement, said he was confused by Matting-ly's criticism because "I'm not making errors on the field, I'm not leaving men stranded in scoring position time and time again, I'm not carrying a 5.30 ERA since the All-Star break, and I was 2,000 miles away when we lost three out of four ries title last year, may miss the.

rest of this season after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. A piece of torn cartilage was removed and some cartilage fragments were shaved from Gaetti's left knee, the Twins said. The All-Star third baseman, who suffered the injury while stealing a base one week ago, is Minnesota's leading home-run hitter and emotional leader. Asked what the Twins would lack most without Gaetti, General Manager Andy MacPhail said: "A .300 average, a 30-homer guy, a guy who drives in 100 runs and has a Gold Glove at third. -Take your pick.

Plus, somebody who led by example with his tough-minded-ness." Gaetti, who is batting .298 with a team-high 26 homers and 76 RBI, The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Third baseman Mike Schmidt may not have a contract with the Phillies next year if he doesn't play 22 of the team's remaining 39 games this season. Schmidt, on the 15-day disabled list with bursitis in his right shoulder, has played 108 games this year. The second year of the contract he agreed to last fall does not become guaranteed unless he is available for 130 games this year, including the final one. Schmidt will earn $2.15 million for next season with the club contributing $100,000 in his name to charity. The club may buy out the contract for $350,000 and the Phillies are interpreting the agreement to mean they aren't obligated to pay him the buyout, if that's what thev decide to AL BOXES FLORIDA STATE LEAGUE Indians 3 White Sox 3 Blue Red Sox 6, Angels 2 Brewers 7, CLEVELAND MILWAUKEE TORONTO BOSTON CALIFORNIA abrhM abrhbi Franco 2b 6 112 Fernandez ss rhbi 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 Francona dh 4 12 1 3 0 11 abrhM 4 12 0 3 110 2 2 0 0 4 2 2 2 3 0 12 Boggs 3b Barrett 2b DwEvans rt Greenwell If Burks cf Jays 6, CHICAGO abrhM 3 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 4 0 10 4 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 4 2 10 4 13 1 4 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 34 3 8 1 3 0 Molllor 3b Leonard It Yount cf Brock 1b Surhoff Meyer dh Felder dh Adducl rf Gantner 2b Sveum ss Gallagher cf Lyons 3b Bainea dh Fisk Pasqua rf MIDiaz 1b Boston Guillen ss Hill 2b Totals abrhM 5 110 5 0 3 0 4 0 10 4 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 2 110 4 0 2 0 4 12 1 4 0 2 1 3 0 0 0 10 10 38 313 3 Moseby cf Barfleld rf GBell If Gruber 3b Lee 2b McGrlff 1b Lirlano dh Butera Totela Beruinger 1b 4 0 1 1 Carter cf Hall It Snyder rf CCastillo rf Upshsw lb Jacoby 3b Allanson i Zuvella ss 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 2 3 1 0 1 1 1 2 1 0 1 2 DWhlte cf Ray 2b Downing dh COavt rt Armas rt Eppard ph Handrtck 1b Joyner ph Schofleld ss McLemore ph Boone Miller Howell 3b Total 4 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 4 110 4 0 0 0 3 12 1 10 0 0 3 0 0 0 10 11 3 0 10 10 0 0 2 0 0 0 10 0 0 3 0 10 33 2 2 Parrish dh 4 0 3 0 JoReed ss 3 0 0 0 Qedman 4 0 0 0 611 6 Kittle ph Totala Totals 34 710 7 020 001 0003 020 00 oox a Chicago Toronto 100 101 0003 020 014 00 7 Cleveland Milwaukee Totals 31 10 000 100 0012 300 000 JOl 4 California Boston Game Winning RBI Butera (2).

De Young retired the side to end the Yankees' comeback. "The Expos got their hits when they needed them tonight," Yankees manager Buck Showalter said. "The bases on balls hurt us, too. They just did a real good job out there." The Expos and Yankees play again tonight at Fort Lauderdale Stadium and then twice more Wednesday and Thursday in West Palm Beach. By RAJ CHAUDHARI Special to the Sun-Sentinel FORT LAUDERDALE West Palm Beach Expos manager Felipe Alou was a little worried before Monday night's Florida State League game against the Fort Lauderdale Yankees.

His No. 1 pitcher, Jeff Tabaka, moved up to Double-A Jacksonville Monday morning, and Alou was worried the team might not win without him. After Monday's game, though, Alou's worries were gone as the Expos cruised to an 8-3 win at Fort Lauderdale Stadium to move 1 Vt games ahead of the Yankees in the Florida State League Southern division.

Left-hander Scott Diez pitched 5Vj innings.

He allowed six hits and struck out four. After four scoreless innings, the Expos scored three runs in the fifth and added five in the sixth. The Yankees rebounded in the bottom of the sixth, scoring three runs as they brought eight batters to the plate. Alou said Diez wasn't used to pitching long innings. "He pitched the first five innings very well," Alou said.

"After we scored the runs, it got harder for him. But he did what we wanted him to win."

-Army coach Ken Adams officially took over as head coach of the Olympic boxing team, two weeks before the fighters are to leave for the Games. Adams, reinstated last week by an arbiter's decision, was greeted with cheers by team members gathered for training at this remote Army base near the Mexican border. Adams, who was suspended in May he allegedly struck a USA-Amateur Boxing Federation staff member regains control of a team that has been in training for a month under interim coach Tom Colter. He said for Coe to be granted a special place, permission would first have to come from the International Amateur Athletic Federation, track and field's worldwide governing body. The IOC executive board would then have to meet to make a final decision, Palmer said.

Palmer said such a strategy would ensure that no other athlete originally selected by the British selectors would lose his place. Is Johnson in jeopardy? BERLIN The Olympic hopes of 100-meter world champion Ben Johnson are in doubt. With two consecutive poor performances in Europe, his doctors have told him to return home to Canada. Johnson came to Europe after recovering from a left hamstring injury, sustained in West Germany in February and aggravated in Japan three months later. He came back to win a wind-aided 9.90 race at the Canadian Olympic Trials and returned to Europe to win a 9.98 legal clocking at an Aug.

On Aug. 17 in Switzerland, Johnson was beaten in the 100 by Americans Carl Lewis and Calvin Smith. Four days later, Johnson was beaten in West Germany by Smith and Dennis Mitchell.

U.S. team tops NBA OKLAHOMA CITY Georgetown's Charles Smith scored 17 as the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team opened an early lead and easily beat a team of NBA players 91-79. Smith scored 15 in the first half when the Olympians opened a 22-point lead. Several of his points Sun-Sentinel wire services LONDON Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the International Olympic Committee, is considering a "wild card" invitation that would allow two-time champion Sebastian Coe to compete at next month's Games.

The move came two days after British track chiefs "politely but firmly" rejected an unprecedented plea by Samaranch to select Coe, 31, who was omitted from the country's Olympic roster after a dismal performance in the national trials. Samaranch made a plea for Coe's inclusion in a letter to the British Amateur Athletic Board, describing him as a "great Olympic champion." The Board described the request as extraordinary and said it could not find room. But according to British reports Monday, the Board also informed Samaranch that it would not oppose the IOC awarding Coe a backdoor wild card entry, allowing him to seek a record third consecutive Olympic title. British Olympic Association chairman Charles Palmer confirmed reports that momentum was gaining for Coe. Asked to guess whether Coe would end up going to Seoul, Palmer said: "I'm not a gambling man, but if I had to bet, I'd say yes." Palmer said he had written to Samaranch saying the BOA "would happily countersign an entry form for Sebastian Coe as a wild card entry" for the Olympics.

Palmer said Samaranch was "quietly optimistic" that a place could be found Coe, 800-meter world record, set in 1981, still stands. Samaranch, vacationing in Spain, had "a lot of respect and admiration for Coe," Palmer said. San Francisco Reuschei W.17-6 9 Royals 5 5 2 2 0 8 Rangers 9, KANSAS CITY HBP Butler by BSmith. WP BSmith.
