ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Jeff Kent would have liked to avoid Game 7, but he's ready.

"It's the last game of the season, winner take all," the San Francisco second baseman said. "It's going to be the biggest hurdle, you bet."

The Giants must regroup for Sunday's game at Edison Field after losing 6-5 to the Anaheim Angels on Saturday and blowing a 5-0 lead.

"We're the Giants and we can deal with it. What can you do?" said Kent, who was 2-for-4 and drove in a run in the Game 6 loss. "This is a resilient team, a veteran ballclub that's not emotionally attached to losses."

UPSET BONDS:@ Barry Bonds was plenty upset after losing Game 6. While the slugger didn't talk to the media after the game, teammate Tom Goodwin noticed the smile quickly leaving Bonds' face when the Giants gave away their five-run lead.

"I'm sure he was disappointed, but so are the rest of us," Goodwin said. "We know that he wants a ring real bad, but he's not unlike anybody else, as far as wanting to have one. All of us want to have it just as bad as he does."

GOOD MORNING, ANAHEIM:@ Bobby Bonds, father of Giants slugger Barry Bonds, chatted with actor Robin Williams on the field before Game 6. Williams, wearing a Giants hat, even got himself invited on a celebratory helicopter ride with Bonds after the game if the Giants had won.

Williams and Bonds took turns quoting lines from the movie "Good Morning Vietnam," for which Williams was an Oscar nominee.

Talk then turned to San Francisco manager Dusty Baker's 3 1/2-year-old son, Darren, the Giants' good-luck bat boy who nearly got run over at home plate Thursday night after wandering onto the field.

"Ain't that something? You go to jail if you spank him but if you snatch him by the throat and get him out of there in a hurry, you're a hero," Bobby Bonds said, referring to J.T. Snow's quick action to scoop up Darren to safety.

CHILD'S PLAY:@ Giants owner Peter Magowan rode on the same plane Saturday as commissioner Bud Selig and Sandy Alderson, executive vice president of baseball operations in the commissioner's office. Alderson told Magowan he had spoken with Giants manager Dusty Baker on Friday regarding Baker's son, Darren, working as a bat boy at age 3 1/2.

"He just said, `We don't want this to happen again,'" Magowan said.

Magowan was sure the rules of bat-boy ages would be examined by baseball during the offseason.

"If they said no kids under 15 in the dugout, we'd certainly be against that," Magowan said. "I think our fans love our bat boys. They're nice looking, they're well-behaved. I think it's one of the reasons players want to play for the Giants."

On another subject, Magowan was disappointed with all the walks to Barry Bonds in the World Series.

"I don't think that's very good for the marketing of the game of baseball," he said.

THE WATSON RULES:@ If Bob Watson and some general managers have their way, Barry Bonds could end up wearing a lot less body armor next season.

The matter will be discussed at next month's meeting of GMs at Tucson, Ariz., and at baseball's winter meetings. Baseball already has legislated that some of the protective arm padding be reduced, and one club was fined for overdoing it.

"There's a strong movement afoot where guys who wear it have to have had a recent injury, or a surgically repaired situation," Watson, baseball's vice president of on-field operations, said before Game 6. "Now, they have a choice and wear it as part of their offense. And we don't think that's the way the game should be played."

Watson believes in enforcing penalties for inappropriate behavior immediately, even if it means the culprit doesn't play in the World Series.

"You don't carry it over to next year, because the guy might not be in the game next year," he said.
