Game 80 Thread: July 3 @ Padres, 7p

Found July 03, 2009 on Sons of Steve Garvey:
PLAYERS: Hiroki Kuroda,  Chad Gaudin,  Claudio Vargas
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers,  San Diego Padres

CLAUDIOWATCH: 0 GAMES DODGERS' RECORD WITHOUT CLAUDIO: 50-29 Hiroki Kuroda (2-4, 3.77) vs. Chad Gaudin (4-6, 4.97). COMMENTS: He's baaaaaaaaack! That's right — Claudio Vargas, who has been on the 60-day disabled list with right elbow tendinitis as of April 6, is likely to be activated today! This is a real treat for Dodger fans, who have been looking forward to seeing what the pitcher can do in Dodger Blue after compiling a lifetime record of 46-40 for the Expos (!), Nationals, Diamondbacks, Brewers and Mets. Even Padres fans want to experience that old Claudio magic, as PETCO Park is sold out for tonight's game. There is certain to be a heavy media presence shadowing Vargas' every move. Enjoy the circus, everybody! photo by Tony Gutierrez/AP

Post-Game 80 Thread: Showing Up

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 04, 2009
DODGERS 6, PADRES 3 Sign of the game. "Eighty percent of success is showing up," Woody Allen said, and Manny Ramirez did just that. Although he's still in summer-training mode (0-for-3, 1 BB), the Dodgers seemed energized by his mere presence, batting around the order and scoring five runs off Chad Gaudin in the first inning. And when Joe Torre removed Manny in...

Since You've Been Gone

Via Memories Of Kevin Malone  |  July 03, 2009
Using a Kelly Clarkson song as my post title? I think I have hit a new low.Anyway, the 21-8 record that the Dodgers amassed before Manny's suspension has predictably since regressed to 29-21 over the last 50 games. However, it's more than a bit unfair to say the Dodgers have been a 94 win team without Manny, but were a 117 win team with him. After all, the Dodgers were...

Manny Ramirez not the only one who returns

Via LA Times  |  July 03, 2009
Claudio Vargas is back in uniform after a lengthy stay on the disabled list.

Belisario Beats LA: Padres 7, Dodgers 4

Via 6-4-2: Double Play Blog  |  July 04, 2009
I didn't really have anything to say about yesterday's 6-3 cruise to the finish line over the Padres because (a) I was at the Angels game (duh), and (b) it was really a pretty dull game, what with the Dodgers roaring out to a 5-0 lead in the first and never looking back; the 13-0 rout of the Astros in San Francisco at least had the dramatics of seeing the likes of the Molina...

Manny Returns

Via Baseball Musings  |  July 03, 2009
The Dodgers and Padres game is underway. Manny Ramirez bats third, so he’ll be up this inning. Rafael Furcal starts the game with a single. Furcal’s OBA has been up and down the last few years, and he’s definitely down this season. Update: Hudson grounds out to bring up Manny. There’s a [...]

Another no-decision for Randy Wolf

Via LA Times  |  July 04, 2009
Left-hander pitches well enough to get the win, before bullpen lets lead get away. The no-decisions continue to pile up for Randy Wolf , who held the Padres to one run over six innings Saturday but extended his winless streak to seven starts.
