Guest opinions are selected in accordance with that night. word length, subject relevance, and space considerations. I had only spent about half an hour preparing for the game, more than half of which I spent picking out appliquéd sweatpants at Wal- Mart and the rest warming up before we took the field. Of course, having not thrown a ball in more than a decade, 10 minutes of catch made me startlingly sore. Before heading up to bat (last on the roster), I hesitated. I contemplated which side of the plate to stand on, how high to hold my bat, and whether anyone had noticed that I’d put menacing mud streaks on my cheek. The very tall, very muscular pitcher stared at me so intensely that I panicked and looked at the ground. I didn’t even see the ball ripping through that muggy Coralville air and over the plate. I swung about three seconds too late. Welcome to my world. I mean that in the least lachry- mose way a newspaper editor turned lousy softball player can. Of course, my cousin, who plays lacrosse and fights her younger brother not for the comics but for the sports section of the newspaper, would have been ashamed. The rest of the game I spent in center outfield, where the most work I had to do was crane my neck to watch the home runs sail over my head and out of the stadium. The other outfielders, more adept at running after the fly balls and throwing them back to the infield, usually took care of the catchable balls for me.

Some of us like the way things are going now.” And instead of telling graduates to conquer their fears, he admitted his. “I’m scared of you,” he said. “I can tell you are go-getters.

Think of it this way: Over the more aggressive, and it’s Associated Press. Celtics hang on for 2-0 lead By Tom Withers ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Banner No. 17 is halfway to the rafters. The Celtics are two wins from another NBA championship. And maybe a little lucky to be there. Paul Pierce, darting around the parquet floor with ease, scored 28 points, Boston’s defense mobbed Kobe Bryant long enough and unknown Leon Powe scored 21 points as the Celtics held off a remarkable Los Angeles rally for a 108-102 win over the Lakers on Sunday night. The Celtics have a 2-0 lead in these trip-down-memo- ry-lane NBA finals. The Celtics had to work every second to get the win. The Lakers trailed by 24 with under eight minutes to go but pulled to 104-102 on two free throws by Bryant with 38.4 seconds left. But Pierce made two free throws, then blocked a jumper by Sasha Vujacic, and James Posey made two free throws with 12.6 seconds left to ice it for Boston. “I think we got kind of com- placent with the lead,” Pierce said. “We weren’t staying aggressive.

He pumped his fist after rounding first on the homer and had more to cele- brate in the fifth when he added an RBI HELP WANTED double. Crede, meanwhile, continued his surge. He is 10-for-15 with 12 RBIs in his last four games after going 2-for-4 and driving in two runs on Sunday. After hitting homers in three-straight games for the first time in his career, including two each on June 6 and 7, Crede doubled and singled and scored twice. One week earlier, Guillen unleashed a tirade that seemed to be aimed at general manager Kenny Williams and hitting coach Greg Walker after watching his team go 5-for-39 with runners in scoring position while dropping three of four at Tampa Bay. Guillen called for roster changes while saying his job and Walker’s could be in jeopardy. There were no major roster moves, but there is one noticeable difference. The offense is producing. That it’s doing so on the heels of Guillen’s outburst is probably a coinci- dence, but the change in demeanor over the past week is noticeable. Guillen joked that whenever Crede, in the final year of his contract, gets a hit, “it’s cha-ching.” But the manager wasn’t smiling a week earlier. Nobody was. “We knew we had it in us, and we knew it would come,” Konerko said. “You feel good to get some runs, where it helps out your teammates. It makes it feel a little more like everybody’s contributing.” Notes: Twin 2B Alexi Casilla was scratched from the lineup because of a sore lower back. … Jason Kubel homered for Minnesota. … Slowey is 0-2 with a 12.37 ERA against the White Sox this season. … If Guillen’s pants seemed a little dirty, there’s a reason. He doesn’t clean them during win streaks. “Hopeful- ly, they turn black,” he said.
