Game 40: Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies 1:5

Not much to write home about, I guess. And I considered this matchup between groundball pitcher Derek Lowe and former closer-turned starter Byun Yung Kim (spelling?) to give us most chance to win. Not yesterday though.

A quick round-up of questions (and hopefully your answers):

(1) Since Jeff Kent and Kenny Lofton do not seem to be back for the series finale, what is going to be our infield? (outfield has three healthy guys, so it's predictable). Aybar-Furcal-Robles-Garciaparra from left to right? By the way - any news on how Jason Repko's ankle is doing?

(2) I like the way double digits look on the number of stolen bases for the two guys at the top of our lineup :).

(3) Bases loaded and nobody out in the first against a very wild Kim. Why only one run on the board? (not asking for summary of plays, rather posing a philosophical question here). Grady Little is right:

"When a pitcher is on the mound trying to self-destruct
and you let him get away with just one run,
that's the difference in the game".

(4) Do you think Willy Aybar's bat in the lineup (2-for-2 lat night, .455 BA) justify his glove?

(5) Tonight we throw Brad Penny against struggling Jason Jennings. Will rubber game be ours?
