Half Dozen Dodgers

Los Angeles defeats Florida 5-3 as Furcal, Pierre and Kemp combine to manufacture a run with walk, sacrifice and single in the top of the ninth. That broke a tie, and two errors by the Marlins led to an insurance run.

The Dodgers have won six in a row. They've scored 47 runs in that stretch, and twice they needed the runs as they've recorded wins of 8-7 and 7-6. The much maligned Pierre is sporting a .355 OBA after reaching three times today. It's amazing how having someone after your job makes you more productive.

At the start of the year, it was supposed to be Kemp, Jones, and Ethier in the LA outfield. At first Joe Torre sat Kemp in favor of Pierre, but today he sat Jones (who is batting .159). Mabye Jones will produce more if he fears he will lose his job, but he just signed a big contract--maybe he does not care anymore.
