Apparently still thinking about the home run that got away in Tuesday's game, Brandon Allen got his revenge Wednesday night against Chad Billingsley.
Allen sent the first pitch [in the fifth] from Billingsley into the right field pavilion a night after he was robbed of a pinch-hit, potential game-winning two-run homer on an outstanding catch by right fielder Andre Ethier.Those runs proved to be enough as the Dodgers rolled over on themselves with Furcal, Ramirez, Loney, Kemp, Martin and Hudson going a combined 2-19. Normally that would be enough to set me off, but Brad Penny (8 IP, o R) took care of that hours earlier. Douche.

Back to Bills. He's been taking a beating recently from all the haters, but any complaints surrounding tonight's performance would be misguided. Perfect through four innings, Billingsley was in line to escape the fifth with limited damage until Rafael Furcal decided it be a good time to throw the ball into right field, ultimately allowing two more runs to score. The fifth inning wasn't pretty for Chad Billingsley, but it was a lot uglier than it should have been.

Bills was so unlucky in the 5th (outside of the Brendon Allen HR).
Funny you comment on that, as I was reworking my piece to reflect that very thought.
4.1 perfect, but yeah, the Bills haters really get on my nerves. Especially since I'm sure Ned listens to those types of people more often than not....Plaschke cough cough.
