How could Kent not score on a ball of the wall? I'm 65 and I know I could score on a ball hit that far.

1. Kent is really slow
2. Kent had to hesitate initially at 2nd base because he wasn't sure if
the OF was going to catch it on the fly.

Kent also let a single go through that a younger more agile 2nd basemean
would have at least dove for and had a decent shot at.

And of course he also got credited for an error on that dropped line drive.

He's becoming a specialist at getting thrown out at the plate.

I like Kent, but really, Grady, talk to your coaches.

Kent's age is showing. I noticed that as the year wore on, he got sloppier.
There is no cure for age.

He shouldn't have been tagging on that play. Even if he was unsure if the OF
(Green) was going to catch the ball, he should have been halfway to third and still
scored easily - or, if necessary, made it back to second easily.

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!Green to Valentin to LoDuca. All of them are former Dodgers. Good thingwe got whathisname for Pauly. <Don't get bent out of shape, I'm justkidding>Well, a championship team over comes such things. We'll see.

Yeah, I'm only glad they actually salvaged one run out of the deal. Ifthey hadn't that's the kind of play that gives all sorts of momentum tothe wrong guys.

3 singles, a double, and an IBB all in one inning, and we only score 1? I had a bad feeling about the rest of the game right then. Oh, well - win Game 2 and we'll still have home field swing our way.

Unfortunately, between Lowe-vs-Maine and Kuo-vs-Glavine, the former was the
Dodgers' best chance at a split in NY, and they ended up beating themselves. Not
ready for prime time.

But by tagging up, he could have made it to 3rd if caught.
