Rangers: 5p.m., NBCSN. Ontheair By John Zenor The Associated Press AUBURN, ALA. San Fran- cisco pitcher Tim Hud- son says next season will probably be his last. Now, he won't leave without a World Series champion- ship. The 39-year-old right- hander finally reached and won the World Series in his 16th major league season. He said Tuesday he plans to fulfill his $23 million, two- year contract with the Gi- ants then possibly call it a career. "I have one more year left on my contract, so I'm pretty sure that's go- ing to be it after this sea- son," said Hudson, speak- ing at Auburn, where he played college baseball. "I just started my workouts yesterday, which is kind of crazy to me. Just two weeks ago I was still play- ing and here I am having to get back ready for next season again. "I guess that's the price you pay when you play that late into the season come playoff time. But I'm going to work my tail off this off- season to get ready to go on to spring training in as good a shape as I can be and hopefully finish (next) season strong. It's been an unbelievable career for me." Hudson, who is hosting a charity event at Auburn this weekend, went 9-13 with a 3.57 ERA in the first losing season of his major league career. He started Game 7 of the World Se- ries for the Giants after his 2013 season in Atlanta was cut short by an ankle injury. With 214 career wins, he'd had a pretty full career but winning the World Se- ries brings "some solid clo- sure to it." "It's one of those things where the older you get, you see that window grad- ually closing for your op- portunities to accomplish that," Hudson said. "Last year, it couldn't have un- folded any better for me. Just going out there, being able to play in a great city, my family was able to ex- perience something really cool living in San Fran- cisco for the summer. My kids are old enough to be able to experience it and re- member it. My son's nine, my oldest is 13, and those are some memories they'll be able to keep forever." He knows repeating that level of success next season won't be easy for the Giants in what could be his finale. "It's going to be hard to duplicate the season that we had last year, but I think we have guys in the locker room in San Fran- cisco that can do it," Hud- son said. "I know I'm going to be ready to go." BASEBALL Giants' Hudson says he's 'pretty sure' 2015 his last Finally reached, won World Series in 16th season Thursday night against Kansas City, Oakland would match the 0-16 re- cord for futility set by the 2008 Detroit Lions — the only team to go winless in a 16-game season. "There's still a lot of pride in this organiza- tion," Tom Flores said. "That's the painful part right now. People look at us and laugh." The Raiders are three losses shy of tying the franchise record of 19 set in 1961-62. Flores played on the 1961 team before sitting out the next season with an illness. That skid ended with a win over the Boston Patriots in the final game of the season. "There weren't that many people who even knew or cared," Flores said. "The last game of the year we had about 5,000 people at the game. Afterward, you'd have thought we had won the Super Bowl with people tooting their horns until midnight." The fortunes of the fran- chise immediately changed with Davis coming on the next season as coach. The Raiders won three Super Bowl titles and for years had the best record in all of pro sports under Davis' leadership. The downfall started be- fore Davis' death in 2011 as the team has failed to post a winning record since winning the AFC title in 2002. Rock bottom arrived this year with a blooper reel full of lowlights to go along with the losses. It started in the home opener when James Jones fumbled twice on the same play to thwart a scoring chance against Houston. There was also a shotgun snap that sailed past Mc- Gloin that led to a touch- down for Miami. Then a botched fake field goal in Cleveland that led to an in- terception by backup quar- terback Matt Schaub on his only pass of the season. Earlier this month, quar- terback Derek Carr threw a pass to left guard Kha- lif Barnes, who was ineli- gible on the play but was mistaken by Carr for run- ning back Darren McFad- den, who is more than 100 pounds lighter. Barnes knew he was ineligible but caught the ball instead of knocking it down and promptly fumbled, setting up a Denver touchdown. "We come into the locker room and we ask each other the same questions and I don't know the an- swer," defensive tackle An- tonio Smith said. "I don't know the answer to what we need or what needs to happen for us to get over the hump." After a decade of losing, this was supposed to be that year. General manager Reggie McKenzie spent his first two years shed- ding bad contracts to set the stage for this past off- season when Oakland had about $60 million in salary cap room and a near full complement of draft picks. While the draft class has shown promise with line- backer Khalil Mack and Carr looking like building blocks and guard Gabe Jackson, cornerback T.J. Carrie and defensive tackle Justin Ellis earning start- ing roles, the other acqui- sitions have been disap- pointing. Schaub lost the quarter- back job in training camp and is being paid $8 mil- lion to be a holder. Smith, Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley have combined for three sacks. Maurice Jones-Drew has run for just 70 yards on 33 carries. With significant sal- ary cap room again next offseason and a possible top draft pick, additions to that foundation could come soon. But questions remain about who will se- lect the players, who will coach them and where they will even play. Owner Mark Davis said after the firing of Dennis Allen in September that McKenzie would be eval- uated in part on how the team played the final 12 games. Interim coach Tony Sparano has done nothing to show that he should be back next season and the Raiders still are figuring out where to play in 2015. They are in the final year of their lease at the Coli- seum and would like to get a stadium deal to remain in Oakland. But with talks showing little progress, Da- vis has met with officials from San Antonio and also talked about possibly mov- ing back to Los Angeles. The more immediate concerns are about getting that elusive first win. "Never could have imag- ined not having a win up to this point," Woodson said. "That's frustrating to the coaches and players on this team that work each day to go out there and play well. We're after a win, that's the bottom line." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 cord seemed unfathomable just a few months ago. The Cardinal (5-5, 3-4 Pac-12) won 11 games last season, captured the con- ference championship for the second straight year and were the only team in the country to go to four consecutive BCS bowls. The Golden Bears (5-5, 3-5) won just one game — against lower-tier Portland State — and lost by an aver- age of 25.6 points last sea- son. Now each team needs to win one of its final two games to become bowl-eli- gible. Cal closes its season at home against BYU next Saturday, while Stanford finishes at No. 11 UCLA. "We've got two chances to do it in the next two weeks. But doing it this week would be a lot bet- ter," Cal quarterback Jared Goff said. Stanford's slide might be the most surprising de- velopment. David Shaw's team had been the model of consistency, winning behind a physical defense and a power running game that pushed around oppo- nents. Stanford still leads the Pac-12 in scoring defense (16.5 points) but has the conference's lowest scor- ing offense (23.9 points). The Cardinal also are tied with Washington State for the worst turnover margin (minus-10) in the league. "It'd be easy to say there's been one thing that's been holding us back. But it's been a little bit of just about everything, from turnovers to missed field goals to blown coverages to a lot of things that typically don't happen to a Stanford football team," Shaw said. The Bears began the season with better health, more depth and a deeper understanding of Dykes' "Bear Raid" offense that showed flashes of great- ness but lacked consistency in his first year. Goff was a rare bright spot as a freshman, throw- ing for a school-record 3,508 yards with 18 touch- downs and 10 intercep- tions. He has passed for 3,398 yards, 30 TDs and four interceptions this sea- son, getting help from an improved running game led by Daniel Lasco. Like Stanford, though, Cal has struggled to find a balance between offense and defense. The Bears have the Pac- 12's second-best scoring of- fense (40.6 points) behind Oregon and the worst scor- ing defense (39.7 points) per game. They also are allowing 518.3 yards, the most in the conference.
