Yes, because bunts are overrated when there's one out and a runner in scoring position. This is even more true when you have guys like Kent and Garciaparra on the bench.
Swinging away sure worked well for Martin didn't it?

Doesn't change the fact that a bunt with a runner already in scoring position is a dumb strategy, particularly if you're going to pull the guy after one batter.
Well, somebody fire up the offseason thread. This one is over.
Yep. Hopefully the first move is to get rid of Ned and his SF Giantinization of the Dodgers plan. Promote Logan White to GM. Kent will retire or go somewhere else...and buy out Andruw Jones...thats to start.
Look on the bright side... by this time next week you'll all have moved on to pissing and moaning about the Kings and forgotten all about the Dodgers until March.
By then the Kings will be out of contention and the Dodgers will once again offer hope.
