Savoy Invitational Tournament

[SavoyBG]

SATURDAY'S MATCHUP - (#3 seed) 1935-38 Cubs vs. (#30 seed) 1979-81 Expos

A very good Cubs team that won pennants in 1935 and 1938, but lost the world series both times. They averaged 92 wins over a 4 year period, and have a load of stars like Billy Herman, Chuck Klein, Stan Hack, Kiki Cuyler, Phil Cavaretta, Augie Galan, Fred Lindstrom, Tony Lazzeri and Gabby Hartnett. They also had very good pitchers like Lon Warneke, Larry French, Bill Lee, Curt Davis, Charlie Root and even Dizzy Dean for a short time. They are a real threat to win this tournament.

The 1979-81 Expos were in the playoffs in 1980, losing a first round series to the eventual world champion Phillies, and in 1981 they won the NL East, and lost a tough 5 game series to the eventual world champion Dodgers. So they were a very good team that easily could have gotten to a couple of world series. Pro rated for the strike year of 1981, they averaged 92 wins a year for these 3 seasons. The lineup includes hall of famers Gary Carter and Andre Dawson, along with soon to be hall of famer Tim Raines. They also have rifle armed Ellis Valentine, Ron LeFlore and Larry Parrish, along with Tony Perez. The pitching staff is not great, but includes Steve Rogers as the ace, Bill Gullickson and Scott Sanderson, and also Bill Lee, the lefthander and former Red Sock, as both teams have a good pitcher with same exact name, Bill Lee.

SUNDAY'S MATCHUP - (#14 seed) 2000-02 Giants vs. (#19 seed) 1930-31 Cardinals

The Giants won the NL West in 2000 and got to the world series as a wild card team in 2002, and of course in between you have Barry with 73 HRs. Besides Bonds there's Jeff Kent, J.T. Snow, Kenny Lofton and Rich Aurilia leading the offense. The rotation is nothing to write home about, although Jason Schmidt and Livan Hernandez are pretty good. They do have a really good closer in Robb Nen.

The Cardinals won the NL pennant in both years and each time they played Connie Mack's great Athletics team with Grove, Foxx, Cochrane and Simmons, losing in 1930 but winning in 1931. They won 101 games in the regular season that year. The offense is led by hall of famers Frankie Frisch, Chick Hafey and Jim Bottomley, and also 1931 world series hero Pepper Martin. The pitching staff is led by Burleigh Grimes, Jesse Haines and Wild Bill Hallahan. Dizzy Dean and Paul Derringer are there, although Dean does not pitch much.

Two teams with some big flaws, we'll see who can take the series.

MONDAY'S MATCHUP - (#6 seed) 1967-69 Tigers vs. (#27 seed) 1997-99 Astros

The Tigers of course won the world series in 1968. In 1967 they won 91 games and finished tied for second place, a game behind the Red Sox. In 1969 they won 90 games and finished in second place, 19 games behind the Orioles. A memorable team that featured Norm Cash, Al Kaline, Jim Northrup, Mickey Stanley, Dick McAuliffe, Bill Freehan and Willie Horton on offense and a pitching staff with Denny McLain, Mickey Lolich, Earl Wilson. Future bullpen stars John Hiller and Mike Marshall are also on the staff.

The Astros won the straight Central Division titles, including winning 102 games in 1998. The offense is led by Biggio and Bagwell, along with Derek Bell, Moises Alou, and Luis Gonzalez. The pitching staff includes Mike Hampton, Shane Reynolds and Jose Lima, with flamethrower Billy Wagner as the closer. The Tigers have a lot more depth and better overall pitching, so Houston will likely struggle to stay close in this series.

TUESDAY'S MATCHUP - (#11 seed) 1951-55 Indians vs. (#22 seed) 1977-78 Dodgers

The final first round matchup pits two memorable teams that were not quite able to win a world championship.

The Indians averaged 96 wins a year during this 5 year run, winning the 1954 pennant with a then American League record 111 wins, but of course getting swept in the world series by the Giants. They finished second to the Yankees in the other 4 seasons. The offense is led by Al Rosen, Larry Doby, Bobby Avila, Dale Mitchell, Luke Easter, Ray Boone and Vic Wertz. The starting rotation is legendary, with Lemon, Wynn, Feller and Garcia. Mossi and Narleski are the closers. 1955 rookie Herb Score is also on the staff.

The Dodgers set a record in 1977 as they were the first team to ever have four different players whit 30 or more HRs in a season. Garvey, Cey, Baker and Reggie Smith were the guys. They also have Lopes, Russell, Rick Monday and Yeager as the regulars. The pitching staff includes Sutton, Hooton, Rhoden, Rau, and Tommy John, along with Hough, Sosa, Welch and Forster. They won the NL pennant in both 1977 and 1978, but each time lost the series to the Yankees in 6 games.

THURSDAY'S MATCHUP - (#8 seed) 1965-67 Giants vs. (#9 seed) 1924-25 Senators

According to the seeds this is the most even matchup in the second round. Mays, McCovey and company against Walter Johnson, Goose Goslin and the gang. The Giants will not like playing in the Senators home park with it's Grand Canyon like dimensions. Will the Senators be able to get on base often enough to neutralize the Giants power advantage?

The Train with a big year at 22-10, 2.50. Marberry great (9-7, 2.52, 23 saves) in 78 games. Coveleski (3.11) and Mogridge (3.31) pitched well. Zachary (3.82) and especially Ruether (4.65) not so much.

Hard to believe that the Giants could post a team ERA of 2.81 and lose the series. Marichal 9-17 despite a 2.61 ERA. Perry with the same ERA went 17-10. Despite 28 saves it looks like Linzy was the cause of them losing with 12 losses and a 4.43 ERA.

The Astros can blind the Diamondbacks with their uniforms and win.
