This seems like a first - both teams canned their starters due to the possibility of inclement weather... so, instead of an exciting match-up of two of the top young pitchers in the game, in Lincecum and Billingsley, we get to watch Valdez and Kuo. Yuck!
Surprisingly, both pitchers look quite good, combining for 5 innings pitched and seven strikeouts thus far - hopefully the Dodgers bats will wake up soon, as they've yet to get on-base.
I'm quite glad to see Pierre is firmly planted on the bench - the only more suitable place for him would be another team.
