He spent sixteen years with the Oakland Raiders, during which he established himself as one of the League's most prolific wide receivers. Daily News Staff Writer The Dodgers arrived here with all of the velocity that could be drawn from a two-game losing streak, a suddenly bed-ridden manager and a redeye flight. That is, very little. Thus, in the first of what will be 22 consecutive games against the National League West, the Dodgers went out and proved just how beatable they are. In fact, that one guy is capable of doing it, as long as that guy is Andres Galarraga, in Coors Field • • [ , batting against Pedro Astacio Pedro Julio Astacio (born November 28, 1969 in Hato Mayor, Dominican Republic) is a pitcher in Major League Baseball.

Armed with a staff that has been compared to that of the Atlanta Braves', the Dodgers endured the same kind of beating the Braves did when they came in for a three-game series in early June. The Braves allowed 35 runs in starts by Greg Maddux Gregory Alan Maddux (born April 14, 1966) is a pitcher for the San Diego Padres.

Then the Dodgers were roughed up as they hadn't been all season. ``You would never expect that,'' Dodgers center fielder Todd Hollandsworth said. ``Our pitching has been awesome all year. You can say `Coors Field,' but that's not an excuse for what happened tonight.'' No, this was uncomely, and it got there in a hurry. Astacio (3-6) was behind 7-1 after two innings. Nine Rockies batted in the first inning and four scored, three on Galarraga's 20th homer. Six batted in the second, and three more scored, all on Galarraga's 21st homer. To think, the Dodgers pushed around their rotation to assure an Astacio start here. Galarraga added a two-run double in the sixth inning, in which reliever Joey Eischen allowed six consecutive hits and five runs. In their 79th game, the Dodgers' team ERA rose from a league-leading 3.09 to 3.21. ``If it's going to happen anywhere, it's going to happen here,'' second baseman Delino DeShields said.

The Dodgers arrived at their hotel here at about 5 a.m. Thursday morning. All but Astacio, actually. He was sent ahead in order to get his rest. Just as well. He probably didn't sleep too well Thursday night. ``In this ballpark anything can happen,'' Russell said. ``If you don't make your pitches, anything could happen. We could do the same thing to them (tonight).'' The Dodgers did have a lethargic shuffle to their steps. ``When we got in the sun was coming up,'' Hollandsworth said. ``Guys looked tired. I know I felt a little tired.'' Afterward, Russell appeared a little weary himself. ``We chalk it up as just a bad day,'' he said with a shrug, ``and come back fresh tomorrow.'' Radinsky, the Dodgers' fourth pitcher, caught on to the game's theme right away. It was a laugher, and Radinsky played along. He started the eighth inning in what already was a 13-1 game, and gave up a single to center field. Then he walked Ritz on what he thought was a strike. He mentioned the score and the location of the pitch to Runge. ``I've never done anything to show up an umpire,'' Radinsky said. ``Ever. PerAiod. I just told him, `We're getting our (butts) kicked 13-1. That's a pitcher up there. That pitch was close enough.'''

Radinsky wouldn't, and Runge ejected him. ``I'm not going to let an umpire ruin my time,'' Radinsky said. ``Geez geez interj. Used to express mild surprise, delight, dissatisfaction, or annoyance.
