Horrible game, though.

Pitching sucked the whole way (for the Dodgers, that is). They were constantly behind in the count, gave up a ton of hits, and walked a bunch of batters. It's a miracle the final score was only 5-1 instead of something like 10-1.

Only highlight was Mark Ellis (who is kicking ass lately) hitting a solo HR late in the game.

Dodgers had 9 other hits besides that HR and didn't score any other runs.

Part of the problem was the lineup:

Gordon
M. Ellis
Scott Van Slyke (3 major league AB so far)
Ethier
AJ Ellis
Jerry Sands
Loney
Sellers
pitcher

WTF?! Scott Van Slyke in the 3 spot? 5 rookies in the lineup?

Kemp is on the DL, as is Uribe. No Rivera and no Abreu in this game, either.

Gonna be a loooooong 2 weeks.
I follow the AL a lot closer then I do the NL, but with that being said I honestly only recognize 2 players names in that lineup (Either & Loney). How the hell do the Dodgers have the best record in baseball with these no namers? I know they have some really solid pitching.
