Chad Billingsley-R- Dodgers Apr. 3 - 1:15 am et
Chad Billingsley, scratched originally due to an incoming storm, entered Wednesday's game in the fifth inning and got one out before a rain delay brought his night to an end.
We'd say the Dodgers couldn't have played it any worse, but the Giants did the same thing, only they left their young stud, Tim Lincecum, in after the 72-minute delay. Esteban Loaiza, who was supposed to start Saturday, replaced Billingsley when play resumed. We're guessing that Billingley will get the call on Saturday after throwing 21 pitches tonight.
Is he made of metal, and they were afraid he would be struck by lightning?
Maybe it is early, but I don't get it.
