LOS ANGELES Angel Salazar, who is extremely shy, on being thelast player in the major leagues to appear in a game: "I've reallygot nothing to say. What can I say?"
Salazar's best friend on the team, Manny Trillo, kidded, "It'snot warm enough for him yet."
It was warm enough in Los Angeles last night as he finallyentered the game in the ninth inning. Salazar started a double playfor the final two outs in the Cub victory.
Before the game, manager Don Zimmer said, "I'd like to win thenext 10 games and never see him. I got a shortstop (Shawon Dunston)who is playing probably better than he's ever played. I'm sure notworrying about him (Salazar) playing." At the end of spring training, there was talk the Cubs would wait four or five weeks before deciding what to do about catcher JimSundberg. There was speculation they might recall Damon Berryhillfrom Class AAA Iowa, but general manager Jim Frey said Tuesday theywould wait longer and that he was "looking for more consistency" fromBerryhill. Sundberg is authoring an instructional book on catching, to bepublished in Champaign. He is working on the second draft now. Former White Sox broadcaster Don Drysdale, now with the Dodgers,reiterated that he really enjoyed himself in Chicago. "I met a lotof nice people. Jerry (Reinsdorf) and Eddie (Einhorn) treated megreat. I'll miss Jimmy (Fregosi)." Darrin Jackson had a big pass list for Tuesday's game, because allhis relatives and friends wanted to see his return to Dodger Stadium,where he used to watch as a kid. Tonight's second game features Jamie Moyer's first start since April19. He faces veteran Don Sutton, who is 0-2.
