Dodgers 9 Pirates 2

I didn't watch, but one look at Mackanin's lineup tipped me off to his pre-game crack smoking (Tike Redman and Daryle Ward playing with Tike batting leadoff and Freddy Sanchez in the three slot). He also seemed to pull Snell to quickly (after five solid inning), leading to the Fogg, Grabow, Vogelsong bullpen explosion of the 6th inning, which turned a 2-2 game into an 8-2 one. Of course at this point, nothing like that really seems to be that far out of the usual.
