Blah blah Red Sox whatever. Will A-Rod be a Dodger?

What a difference a week makes!

I LOVE watching the Dodgers right now. You gotta believe that they all have side bets with each other in the dugout.

Coincidence that things changed when Kent went down. I bet he's a freaking drill sergeant on that team. He's old, he hurts, and he wants a damn World Series. Torre seems to think that might have something to do with it:

"Maybe the shadow of the big brother is not around," Torre said of Kent's departure. "Maybe it frees them up to do other things. I don't know, but that's what came to mind for me. ... These guys are free spirits, but they have been a little hesitant from time to time."

All I know is that I just put my name into the mix for the opportunity to buy playoff tickets and wish Kent a relaxing, comfortable, stress-relieving, recovery. No rush. Big brother can come back for the playoffs when discipline's the thing.
