As part of the Deal Chicago will get Jeff Carter a minor league Pitcher and another minor league player to be agreed upon Ron Schueler Chicago a general Man Agar would neither confirm nor deny the Deal Raines 31, hit >287 last season with nine Home runs and 62 Bis in 10 seasons Raines has a career average of .301 and has averaged 63 stolen bases.

Raines was the subject of Trade rumours for the last three seasons As the expos got rid of several expensive veterans. As his teammates departed Raines pushed to leave. The White sox were close to making the Deal during the Winter meetings at Rosemont 111., hut backed off after acquiring outfit e 1 d e r co by s 11yd e r from Cleveland for pitchers Eric King and Shawn Hillegas. Cd i e ago m a n age r j e of to r Borg s a i d c a a Lier this month he would Bat Raines Lead off if the White sox could get him. Raines will Plav left Field wit i Snyder in right and Sammy Sosa in Center. Carter 26, is a right handed Pitcher who was 8-3 at class a Jacksonville last season with a 1.84 Era in 52games. Raines who was Hortt in Elorida and still lives there spent his entire major league career with the expos. He was chosen in the fifth round of the june 1977 Amateur draft and made it to the big i e a go e s f or Good i n 1981. He has hit .31x1 or better five limes in 10 full seasons and led the National league with a .334 average in 1986. Commentary in the military jargon of pro. Football its As if quarterbacks were Jet fighters. Quarterbacks done to get Hurt they go Down. A my quarterback Quot a coach will say As he Waits for the a Ray report a went  Quot a. A a As if his quarterback crashed in a tailspin or in flames. And usually those quarterbacks teams have crashed with them. In the National football league the hard lesson of history is that no team has Ever won the championship with its backup quarterback in command when the  began. A yes the 1970 Baltimore Colts won super bowl a 16-13, with a backup Earl Morrall after Johnny unit As suffered damaged ribs before halftime. But Unitas had started. A. A v. A i Quot i a a a As the super bowl xxv playoffs approach that history lesson has haunted the giants the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago bears Ever since Phil Simms Jim Kelly and Jim Harbaugh went Down two weekends ago. Quot a a that history lesson has also alerted All the other super bowl contenders especially the reigning Champion san Francisco 49ers and Joe Montana. Maybe a backup quarterback will prevail As a super bowl starter this time. If the Rush of. A rays continues maybe two backup quarterbacks will be starting in Tampa fla., five weeks from sunday. But if history prevails forget about winning the super bowl if your starter is really a backup. Forget the giants if Phil Simms does no to return. Forget the Bills if Jim Kelly Isnit ready. Forget the bears without Jim Harbaugh lost until minicams with a dislocated shoulder and forget any of the other contenders whose no. 1 quarterback goes Down. To win the super bowl a team needs All if not most of its Best players healthy. Especially its Best quarterback. A but if Simms or Kelly does return each might have an Opportunity 10 do what Bob Griese did for the 1972 Miami dolphins v a through the years Only one backup quarterback the same Earl Morrall generated a super bowl win Dave Anderson Ner for most of its Campaign the 1972 dolphins who had a perfect 17-0 record despite Griese s dislocated left ankle in the fifth game. Griese did no to return until the second half of the american conference championship game rallying. The dolphins to a 21-17 Victory in Pittsburgh Griese then worked the dolphins 14-7 Triumph Over the Washington redskins in super bowl Vii. In Many ways Griesey a damaged ankle was similar to Simms sprained right foot which will keep the giants quarterback out until at least the Neq Cham pionshipgame.7 a but there a one big difference in philos situation a Griese said from his Miami Home. A Phil does no to have the luxury of As much time to recuperate As 1 did a Griese remembered that when his cast was removed his foot was stiff and the Muscles had atrophied As Simms will. For a right handed quarterback his right foot is the one he plants in passing. Kelly with a damaged left knee might be Able to Plant easier. A 7 a a a a. A the thing you try to do a Griese said a is backpedal a Little slower and when you Plant not put so much weight on your right foot you put More weight on your other foot or on both feet. But that Means you can to throw the Ball As far or As  7. As those dolphins completed their 14-0 regular season Griesey was out of his cast and practising. A one thing about the injury Quot Griese recalled �?o011 returning my Arm was fresh my legs were  Morrall then 38, moved the dolphins through a 2014 Victory Over the Cleveland Browns in the playoff opener. But when the dolphins were lied with the St Celers 7-7, at halftime of the acc championship game coach Don Shula did no to hesitate. A was soon As we went into the locker room a Griese remembered a Shula told me a you re going the Sec Ond half a. By the time the Dolphin offence got the Ball the Steeles had a 10-7 Lead. But i his first third Down crisis Griese found Paul Warfield for a 52-Yard gain. Griese completed three of five passes for 70 Yards to set up Jim  2-Yard mid 3-Yard touchdowns. As the super bowl vol starter Griese completed eight of 11 passes including a 28-Yard touchdown to Howard  that a another thing in Phil s favor if he gets Back Quot Griese said. A the giants Are like those dolphins were a team with a Good running game trial likes to control lire  Morrall n s a rep 1 a be 111 e n i to r u n i i As t to u go o u i the 1968 schedule established hims cil As the Colts starter that year Morrall threw for 26 touchdowns while Unitas bothered by a damaged Elbow threw Only 32. Passes All season but when Morrall was unable to generate a touchdown in super bowl 111, unil As was inserted late in the third Quarter of the jets 16-7 upset to so me Tob i 11 Rote might be re me my e re d a s Bobby Lay ties backup when the Detroit Lions won the 1957 championship. But Hal year they shared the Job. Rote threw 11 touchdown passes and Layue threw six before suffering a broken leg Lute in the season in the  role threw four More in a 59-1 rout of the  be technical 1 lie 1956 giants won the Nel title with a Hae Kup Don Heim Meh As a starter i a the 47-7 Triumph Over like bears in the championship game b u t t h at be Aso n t h e g i a n l s.

That Day Conerly a reeled three touchdown drives in the second Quarter and later threw touchdown passes to Kyle rot e and Frank Gil Ford a. A a but for All practical purposes no team has won it All without its Best quarterback Starling the . And now the giants the Bills and the bears must defy the Challenge of trying 10 win the super Bow l after their Best quarterback went Down. New York time. Jets by Barry Wilner East Rutherford .
