Holy crap, what a game going on right now! I caught the first few innings on radio, now I'm following it online. Here's the recap so far...
1st inning: Brad Penny was a little shakey, gave up 3 runs. But he also struck out the side. Come the second inning, though, a pinch hitter appears, Penny's gone. Seems his back is giving him trouble once again.
2nd inning: Rookie James Loney gets those 3 runs back and then sum with a grand slam
3rd inning: Dodgers load the bases with nobody out and proceed to score 4 more runs in the inning (including to RBI by Loney, 6 total...so far)
4th inning: Chad Billingsly had been cruising with the big 5 run lead in relief of Penny...but blew up in the 4th. Some obscene number of singles (it was like 7 or 8 singles) later and the Dodgers were down by 2.
5th inning: Dodgers get those 2 right back with a walk and some base hits. Loney picks up his 7th RBI
6th inning: Dodgers at it again, the Dodgers lead off with back to back homers from Lofton and Anderson...and then keep piling it on for a total of 7 runs in the inning (matching Colorad's 7 in the 4th). Including...a 3 run homer by James Loney!!!! That's 10 (although the stats are showing 9, not sure where the discrepancy is)!
It's 17-10 Dodgers right now in the bottom of the 6th. Wow.
