Dont worry, itll get done. Its just part of modern football, says New York Giants general manager George Young. But not everyone agrees. In Cleveland, General Manager Ernie Accorsi is patient but Coach Bud Carson isnt. I dont think even a Clay Matthews can walk in a week before the season and be at top form, says Carson.

The reasoning is that the rookies need camp to learn new systems while veterans, most of whom work out all season, need only a few weeks. In fact, not all coaches agree with Carson.

Roy Hammer-gren followed with a RBI double to center.

It was the only time in the game that two Billings batters reached base in succession; Zimbauer struck out the side in the fourth on his way to seven strikeouts and only two walks on the evening. He was never seriously threatened during the game. Castaldo, meanwhile, was supplying the Brewers with all the runs they would need by rifling his sixth home run of the season, a two-run shot, out of the ballpark. That was in the bottom of the third inning, after Randy Hood had drawn a walk to lead off the stanza, and give the Brewers a 2-0 lead. I was really seeing the ball well tonight, Castaldo said.
