History revisited…
Pretty cool that just a few feet away, Vin Scully is doing the Dodger broadcast, Joe Garagiola is doing the D-backs broadcast and down in the dugout, Kirk Gibson is managing the D-backs. All three men were there on Oct. 15, 1988 when Gibby hit the famous home run in Game 1 of the World Series.
A few of us were joking before the game that when Gibson goes to the mound to pull out his pitcher, he should do a fist pump with his right arm like he did rounding the bases.
Meanwhile Joe G. and Joe T. were hanging in the dugout during batting practice and a ton of players came over to meet Garagiola. The broadcast area here is named for him and they have a cool timeline of his history in the game of baseball.
Inside the Dodgers 
LET’S GO DODGERS, LET’S GO!!!!!!
That’s just what I was looking for, the Dodgers breaking out in front with a big inning.
GO CLAYTON.
That was a crazy inning, but we’ll take the gifts. Thanks D-backs. I love when the Dodgers make base running blunders and Vinny brings up Babe Herman 3 men on 3rd base story.
The best thing about Kemp’s HR was that Kershaw did not have to run the bases.
That’s the way to do it Clayton, shut them down after we get a bunch, don’t give them anything back.
What more holiday gifts?
This is why I’m not the manager. Wow did I see that right 5 errors by the dback?
Keep it going guys!!!!
I’m surprised that Vin never mentioned it.
Joel Youngblood (D’backs 3rd base coach)was the only player to get a hit for two different teams in the same day (I think this still stands).
If I remember the Mets, after a day game, which he got a hit in, traded him to, I believe, the Expos, where he got a hit in a night game.
Way to go Raffy!!!!
Geez 2nd night in a rows the Padres manage to get a run in the 8th innings.
ANDRE, TOO!!!!!!!
I think scoring runs like this ( with HRs) is a LOT MORE FUN.
Alright Raffy!!!! He’s really on fire. His batting average is now .340. He would be leading the league in hitting if he had enough plate appearances to qualify.
Goodness!!!! Watching a crazy baseball game (compared to last night) and a wild race in Daytona. Can’t get much better than that!!
I want to see a team with 15 errors lol
Now that Pards won we better hold on to this lead.
Wow 6th errors.
I felt bad for Abreu. Is it now the time for the Ojeda to make an error to since he’s the only IF’s that haven’t mae one.
That’s 8 RBI for Paul.
I say sometimes, “no lead is a safe lead”, but this lead…aaahhh
The X-man has a sweet swing. Torre should let him play everyday while Manny is out.
I still like Paul in the top of the order
oldbrooklynfan ~ I think we can all relax now.
Kershaw got a lot of support tonight.
but he pitch very well.
If the Dodgers blew this lead, I think it would be a record and I’d have to run and hide somewhere.
What the hell Kershaw hurt?
N/M look like PC but he could’ve gotten Reynolds out.
It would be great if the Dodgers could put all these runs in a bank and used them when they need them.
I hope they don’t need any of them tomorrow.
Don’t do it Torre. Let’s Schlichting finish it off.
lol what a worthless hit by Anderson.
Good to see Thome hit 2 homeruns to moved into 10th places and pass hof Killbrew with 574 homeruns.
Schlichting did a nice job.
Happy 4th to those who’ve reached it.
A nice 1 2 3 innings Broxton after that crap last time.
HOLD THAT LEAD BROX!!!lol
Sigh
This was a good game to fatten up the offensive statistics.
Happy independence day everyone.
Incidentally I kept score of the whole game.
Thanks for a relaxing game Dodgers!!! The race was pretty intense so watching the Dodgers skin the snakes easily tonight was very enjoyable and for once in a long while, stress free.
Dodgers after 80 games.
’06—-41-39
’07—-45-35 3rd PL.

That suck for Furcal and he need some 20+ more PA to be #1 in the batting titles over Prado.
Happy 4th ITD!
NSB,
I was just reading all the posts that I missed from the prior thread. Well said (as always) on your long post. The only thing Is I would say DAN EVANS instead of Kevin Malone here:
“SINCE THEN, there have been many playoffs, but no Series win. Our team has been so talented with the nurturing of Logan White (and Kevin Malone, arguably)”
.
HOpe every a safe 4th of July.

Congratulations to Andre and Brox for making the NL All-Star Team!!!!
Happy 4th of July everybody!!!! Thanks to all our military for protecting those freedoms this day stands for.
Awsome news about Andre and Brox!
.
And, yes, we must take time to thank the men and women in the military for keeping us safe and making this a great country!
Congrats to Andre and Brox! Kuo also deserved it but I would rather have Brox and Kuo rest during the All-Star break.
.
I’ll wear my Andre shirt and Jonathan All-Star shirt to the All-Star game.
For the All-Star FanFest, I’ll be volunteering so they supply you with an All-Star polo shirt. I have to wear kahki pants with that. I better check if my kahkis still fit me.

Andre ended up finishing 2nd in the voting, with Jason Heyward being 3rd. Kuo is mentioned as well in this article by Tony Jackson.

Andre is the first Dodger outfielder to be selected to the All-Star Game since Darryl Strawberry back in 1991. Wow!!!
