"You wrote it as tongue in cheek, and I said it as tongue in cheek," said Mr. Chuckles, who was greeted by a smattering of boos when he came to the plate -- then turning them into cheers with an RBI double.

"You told me Scully was saying this and that about me hitting third, and I said, 'Vin talks too much,' and he does. But I say that in a respectful way."

"I said it to you -- because I knew you'd write it tongue in cheek," Kent said. "But as I've said, a lot of people don't get your humor. They take something you write and make it more serious and bigger than it really is.

"People think you and I hate each other," he said, a shock, I must say, to learn we don't. "As you get on me to make adjustments -- you're over the top for some people, too."

Plus he detests BLOGGERS! as much as anyone on SportsJournalists.com. Shouldn't he get some points for that alone?

And the eulogies for Jeff Kent begin. Career over?

PHOENIX - Dodgers second baseman Jeff Kent, a five-time All-Star, former National League Most Valuable Player and almost-certain future Hall of Famer, might have played his last game in the major leagues.

Kent was sent back to Los Angeles for an MRI exam after leaving Friday night's game at Arizona with pain in his left knee. Although that exam hadn't taken place as of game time Saturday night, club officials had a strong suspicion as to what it likely would show.

Kent, 40, has been playing through pain from slightly torn cartilage in his knee for about a month, fully aware that the continued grind of playing baseball on an everyday basis meant there was a strong risk of additional, more painful tearing.

That additional tearing is believed to be what took place during Friday's game. Kent was said to be in "excruciating pain" after leaving the game, and club officials were holding out slim hope of getting him back in what is widely expected to be his final season.

As a fly-over state kind of gal, never read this Simer guy until now. Wow, he uses "I" and talks about himself a lot in his columns. (Though it appears I have stated the obvious.)
