Kent activated, Penny apparently done for the year
The Dodgers officially activated Jeff Kent. Torre says he will be a pinch hitter and that Blake DeWitt will remain the everyday 2B. Dodgers get the best of both worlds that way, with DeWitt's superior range in the middle of the infield and Kent's bat a dangerous weapon off the bench. Joe said if Kent reaches base, there will be a pinch runner inserted for him. ... Torre also said Brad Penny is now ``out of the mix.'' After getting that cortisone shot in his AC joint yesterday, Brad tried to throw today and felt discomfort. Torre also said it would be ``tough'' to add Penny to the postseason roster if, in fact, there is one. Too early to tell how all of this will affect the club's decision whether to exercise Penny's contract option ($9.25 million).
Great the clubhouse cancer is back. Here comes the free fall.
Dodgers went 15-4 without Mr. Chuckles & his sparkling personality.
Mr. Chuckles or Marks' Weeney with the game on the line? Hummm.... let me think about that one.
Yeah Manny the clubhouse cancer has really draged the team down.
As a fan that have met Kent at different occasions including the WIN baseball clinic that he has hosted for the past 4 years at Dodger Stadium, I can say that Kent is a very nice guy. My many friends that have attended these events, also have a high opinion of him. I think I will wear my Jeff Kent shirt tomorrow for fan appreaction day. Can't wait D.Lowe as he does not do well when I wear it. -Emma
