that was the most irritating game I have watched in quite some time. kent and
torre got tossed after the umpire called a runner safe because kent had pulled
his foot off the bag on what would have possibly been the front end of a double
play, but kent didn't throw to first; the famous "neighborhood play", where the
out is called if the fielder is "close" to the bag. he had, in fact, pulled his foot off
the bag, but it was closer than a hundred other plays that I have seen called out.
furcal was dead to rights in a run down, but ultimately advanced a base because
the ball hit his helmet and bounced into RF. andruw jones missed a HR buy just
a couple of feet, but the LFer caught a super lucky bounce and held him to a single.
kemp started in on a linedrive that went over his head. just a large number of
very unusual plays.
anduw jones still sucks. the drive that he hit was a fluke; he looked awful at the
plate again tonight. he is wearing his socks knee high trying to work out of this
slump. he made the last out on a foul pop up; something he does freakishly
often these days.
LA loses 6-4, but we held them to two field goals tonight.
