Jeff Kent is just unconscious (7-12 and thank god for that short left field wall). Any questions about his clutch ability should go away (not that there ever should have been any questions). And let’s just say it: Kent is a first-ballot hall-of-famer.
Oh, and by the way, what do you think Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez plan to do on their vacations?

Ok. Not so easy so far, a little tension, a lot of excitement. But this last inning should remind everyone why the Mets won 97 games this year. (I would have blogged earlier, but I was out watching at my brothers.

Buck O’Neil deserved to go into the Baseball Hall of Fame before he died. Now it will be up to baseball — meaning the full establishment — to make sure he is enshrined posthumously.
(Read this interview with him from Ken Burns’ famous special.)
Rest in peace, Mr. O’Neil.

I was going to praise Tom Kean Jr. for taking a stand on Dennis Hastert and calling for some accountability — that is, until I read this morning’s Star-Ledger.
The paper is reporting that the candidate has accepted contributions “from employees of the same firms he wanted to remove from the process: those doing business with the state or its authorities.”
The review, covering all donations from when the bill was introduced Dec. 7, 2004, shows Kean accepted contributions from engineering firms, law firms, undewriters and other state contractors. Two of the firms are among the candidate’s top 10 contributors since his political career began in 1999.
The lion’s share of the campaign cash went to Kean’s U.S. Senate fund-raising committee, which is not regulated by state law. About $5,900 of the contractor cash went to a fund-raising committee Kean set up for the 2007 campaign for his state Senate seat.
Kean, of course, had introduced a bill in the state Senate two years ago that would have banned contributions to political campaigns by government contractors, an inconsistency his campaign seems to have no problem with.
I wonder, can he spell hypocrite?
