Game 124: Dodgers @ San Francisco Giants 5:2
The Dodgers were cruising up until the time Jeff Kent thought he'd make it a little less of a snoozer.
(1) Even with the prolonged (by not one, but two Kent's errors) ninth inning, the game took just 2 hours 15 mins. Mostly thanks to a wonderful display of pitching effectiveness by Derek Lowe. The trouble he got in in the ninth was not quite his fault.
(2) While I'm at it: how about Lowe's *hitting*?! Two-for-four with a double and an RBI to complement his eight plus almost flawless innings? And to think that the guy is originally coming from the American League...where they are forbidden to bat ;).
(3) Since I've devoted a separate post here to the sweetest slider I've seen recently (Saito's), there come to mind probably only Liriano and Papelbon's fastballs that could challenge for the sweetest thing award.
(4) How good would it be to take yet another series from divisional foes (which consecutive one would it be?) - San Diego Padres. The drawback is we'd have to do that with the bottom of our rotation as Chad Billingsley is going tonight and Mark Hendrickson tomorrow.
