Dodgers' Jeff Kent defuses issues in uneasy role
LA Times (Free subscription) | 10/04/2008
Kent isn't happy, or comfortable, in his role on the Dodgers' bench, but he isn't making a big deal about it. It is a day off, but the lights are on, the cramped Dodgers clubhouse filled with players, reporters, destiny, sweep, Manny, Manny, Manny.

Can He Pose As Middle Relief?
Brahsome (Free subscription) | 09/29/2008
There’s probably a joke about posing as a Dodger involving Jeff Kent out there somewhere, but it’s Monday, and we’re lazy. So, we’ll just say that Ronald Higgins was arrested Saturday for posing as an LA Dodger. Higgins was seen walking onto the field wearing a full on uni with a glove and everything. Apparently, [...]

LA Times (Free subscription) | 09/21/2008
Arthroscopic surgery can't stop Page 2 from doing everything possible to help the club beat the Giants. I mention to Jeff Kent that I'm going to have knee surgery, and next thing I know he's having knee surgery. Sympathy surgery -- I had no idea we were that close.

LAist (Free subscription) | 09/03/2008
LA Dodgers defeat San Diego Padres 8-4 . Well the Dodgers figured out how to get hot down the stretch: keep Jeff Kent away. Since he left the clubhouse, the Dodgers have won every game handily. Listening to the game while stuck at work, the description of Clayton Kershaw's pitches did him no justice. Those pitches were outright filthy. Meanwhile the offense exploited all of the Padre's weaknesses....
