Zack Greinke (3-1, 3.89) vs. Ian Kennedy (3-4, 5.72).
Hey girl, I know you're done with the Dodgers right now. You're sick of all the lavish multi-year deals Neddy hands out like candy on Halloween. You're tired of Donnie being so much a players' manager that he refuses to acknowledge the obvious. You're fed up with the Dodgers cornering the market on injured hamstrings.
But there's a reason to watch. And his name is Puig. Take it from the LA Times:
Yasiel Puig is not only breaking records on the field, but also in the team store.
The Dodgers sold more Puig-related merchandise from Thursday to Sunday than they had ever sold of any player over a four-day period -- more than even Manny Ramirez, Fernando Valenzuela or Hideo Nomo, according to a team spokesperson.
The team sold approximately 3,000 units of Puig-related merchandise in that four-day window, including 1,600 t-shirts ($28), 400 "Viva Puig" t-shirts ($28) and 600 jerseys ($225 for the authentic version, $110 for the replica ones).
There, feel better now? I knew you would. Now let's cuddle and watch the game.
UPDATE: Hey girl, here's an update:
#Dodgers today recalled Alex Castellanos and Chris Withrow and optioned Justin Sellers. Van Slyke placed on 15-day DL (L Shoulder Bursitis).

Don't know about you boys, but I sure do like this post!
This just in: Jansen is the closer! Hallelujah and PTL...
Praise Cuban Jesus!
I'd love a Cuban pork sandwich right about now.
Hey Jimbo!
Hey Neeebow!
Think Blue guys are in some serious drugs if they think League is just the fall guy for last night.
I have Ian Kennedy on my fantasy team. I'm starting him because I expect every non-Puig/non-Gonzo Dodger to struggle.
Greinke has looked good.
SEND THIS GUY TO AA!!!!
Oh no... Puig pulled up limping?!?!?
DodgerzGM
@DodgerzGM
If we put enough players on the DL, we can blame our poor season on injuries instead of lack of chemistry.
wha happened to Pweeeg????!!!!
Running catch for Puig. He's fine.
What the hell is going on? Mass confusion on the field.
Just stand there Adrian. No need to run to 2nd.
If the Heat lose, does Riley fire Spoelstra?
This reminds me of those Peanuts comic strips where everybody gathered on the mound to discuss the meaning of life.
Is that the same ass who missed the call on first??
That's what I wanna know too BJ.
Strike 4!
Strike 4!
Same ump. Rookie.
Wtf?
Cuban Jesus is so much better than everyone it takes 4 strikes to strike him out.
That didn't hit him!! This ump is garbage!
Either there are audio dropouts on this broadcast or someone is doing some serious cussing.

Sigh
Shit. Kegel HR makes it 2-0 AZ.
Shit sandwich salesman passing through!
Like Mr. F, I have Kennedy on my fantasy team. Thanks, Dodgers!
There would be a lot of audio drops here
Kasten needs a glove.
Gerrit Cole shut down the Giants. Scutaro got hurt, joining Sandoval and Pagan.
Giants lose and get hurt? I like!
Dodgers turn two. Down 2-0.
Plus, Kasten can hit lefties better than Dre.
What's the opposite of helping your cause? Zack just did that.

RANCHO ARDIENDO
They have us right where they want us.
For Nick Punto. whoop dee doo
Are we ever gonna catch a break?
Guess what happened? Just guess!
Wow. I'm shocked, said no Dodgers fan ever.
Punto's bat slam looked better than his swing.
worst at bat Ive seen in a long time.
Does Vinny have a really bad tan or is that just terrible lighting?
Pedro Moura @PedroMoura 1m
Nancy Bea Hefley is not here tonight, so Staples Center organist Dieter Ruehle is manning the keys and playing Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" now
Spurs 113, Heat 77, final
Let's go Puig!
Puig HBP. He's down.
This is not what we needed. Puig beaned in the dome.
shit
Eject that mofo pitcher.
Seriously, Baseball Gods? Seriously? What did we do to offend you?
^ What she said
And what BJK said tambien.
Someone better get hit.
How bad was the beaning? I've got no tube or anything here.
Does a HBP extend my Beat the Streak? Puig is amazing for being able to stay in the game.
Hit him in the face. Looked like Puig was turning away which probably saved his face.
Yes, please describe.
MAKE 'EM PAY, DRE!
Dre with the bomb!! Tie game!!
Up your ass #31!
YAY HR ANDRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bamsucka!
I had forgotten about Dre.
Pitch was up and in, Puig turned up and away. Appeared it hit his nose. Training staff checked him out, no blood, he took first.
About time Dre Day.
Thanks Q4
Wow Ethier has a pretty swing, when he hits em out. If he keeps that up I'll have to take him off my fantasy bench.
K back to my sulking refuge.
So much for that rally. At least it's tied up.
Well we know Pweeeg is no princess.
The Puig legend grows. #CubanJesus
Hey guys! I woulda been here earlier but I pulled a hammy.
You're not going to live this reputation down by doing that, Zack....
Bullpens empty. Belli throws a punch and misses high and away.
Hey cliff. Grab a beer. Nothing going on.
Montero gets hit in the back. Warnings issued. Benches clearing.
REVENGE HBP?!!?!
Glad to see a catcher get up quickly.
Back to strikes.
FUCK YEAH GREINKE!
Clearly that was a payback pitch for the Puig hit. And I couldn't be more supportive and proud.
Don't get mad, get even. Zack just got elevated on my respect list. Now if he can knock out the ump is marry him.
I'd marry him. Gotta reread my posts.
That is how you protect your team
cc: every other Dodgers pitcher.
Hopefully Chad Billingsley is watching too.
And a certain former Dodger manager of the Aridzona expansion team is dead to me.
I'm ready to knofe someone in the robs.
RBN! Nothing like a good dust-up to draw you out of hiding.
I missed the payback but I'm the happiest motherfucker on the planet.
It's getting lively!
Nicely done, inning ending double play. Grienke has got some cajones. He's one bad ass dude.
REVENGE REVENGE HBP!!!! Is he okay?
WTF?! Mattingly went after someone?!
Gibson, Sax...it's like old times.
FUCK YEAH!!!
McGwire's 'roid-raging!
Break his mofo arm
Ladies and gents, we have a new leader in the Douchebag Olympics. Your Arizona Fucksticks.
I bet Matt Kemp is bummed right about now.
WHAT HAPPENEC? Just turned on radio.
What's going on?
Make az forfeit
Holy shit get him Big Mac.
You throw at a pitcher. You're fucking dead.
Throw at his head, all bets are off. Fuck these expansion shitbags.
So Puig gets plunked dangerously. Greinke gets the payback the old school way - on the back, fair and the score is settled. Then Kennedy throws at Greinke's head.
I don't consider it even yet.
Donnie went after Montero. Said he was the worst model Mercury ever made.
#obliquecarreference
Mark Saxon @markasaxon 1m
I clearly saw Ian Kennedy look at Arizona's bench before delivering that pitch to Greinke
KILL
KILL
KILL
KILL
KILL
KILL
KILL
I'd just like to say, fuck Matt Williams.
We can't play but we can kick the shit outta ya
Substitute organ player playing the Rocky theme!
Who was it that Mattingly took down? Great fight boys.
Yes, Dusty. These dust ups get me riled.
Belli will be suspended.
I fucking love Greinke.
Don't shake your head bitch that was clean slide.
I was fine w throwing at Victorino's head as payback, but incensed that Kennedy threw at Greinke's head.
DodgerzGM @DodgerzGM 27s
Now would be the perfect time for Donnie to bring in Brandon League.
And now Puig is lifted. Great.
"Mama Said Knock You Out" playing in the stadium now. Nice!
PUIG OUT OF THE GAME?!!?!?!
HIT HIM!
Puig ejected?
Anybody get hit in the last minute?
It was Alan Trammell that Donnie went after.
New shirt ideas for Erin:
My team can beat up your team
WWF Champs: LA Dodgers!
Our pitchers kick ass
@Dusty
Nice! Loved seeing all the ex-players/coaches going at it.
D-bags coaching staff:
23 Kirk Gibson Manager
25 Don Baylor Batting Coach
15 Turner Ward Assistant Hitting Coach
50 Charles Nagy Pitching Coach
5 Steve Sax First Base Coach
9 Matt Williams Third Base Coach
3 Alan Trammell Bench Coach
53 Glenn Sherlock Bullpen Coach
82 Jeff Motuzas Bullpen Catcher
Turner Ward was the guy who got bent over the railing.
More like Turd Warner, amIright!?
Fuck baseball.
THROW AT GOLDSCHITS!
Why does Guerrier have a job in baseball? He shouldn't even be allowed to usher.
Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez 32s
Mark McGwire and Yasiel Puig were ejected.
Puig was ejected for what?
Tim Brown @TBrownYahoo 28s
Here are your ejections from Dodger Stadium: McGwire, Puig, Kennedy, Gibson and Turner Ward.
Why did Puig get run and no one else from Arizona besides Kennedy!? Others were doing just as much.
SOSG ejections:
Spanky, Dusty and Ghost of Pedro.
(((Turner Ward was the guy who got bent over the railing.))))
Kinky
I just ejected a glass of wine. Into my stomach.
Cue Jon Weisman making some lame-ass statements about how bad it is for players to fight and anti-payback and his kids were watching and crying and shit.
DBags are claiming Dodgers are frustrated deranged team. "Firing cheap shots"
Was that bobble head was supposed to be Koufax?!
We never posted a lineup.
I'm with you on that one Dusty. Half bottle of wine down here.
Send cheap shots my way. I am sober.
Oh please, hit one more of our guys. Lets finish the game at Cedars ER
Yeah I'm sick and tired of that 'not good for baseball" shit. It's a school night anyways Weisman. Send your kids to bed,Dad of the year.
That was the worst bunt ever.
I missed the Puig beaning...did it hit him directly in the face or did it just brush his nose?
Well, the Dodgers do look like a frustrated, deranged team at this point. Just not firing cheap shots.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
You always protect your teammates even if they are wrong.
Hit Puig in the nose as he was turning away.
That's why I always bail Neeebs out of jail.
And I agree with Dusty. My kids were all here watching the melee, rooting Big Mac on.
Definitely sounds like a Kings game out there.
*throws at Stubbs*
A hit with the bases loaded? By FedEx?
Federfuckenrovich!!!!
FedEx delivers a double off the wall! Three runs score!
*dry humps Stubbs*
Hahahaha! That was the weakest attempt to block the plate I've ever seen.
Urine has had a good night. Ran lead on a fight, 3-RBI hit.
Holy shit, did that just happen?!
WOW
Wait, Urine didn't hit that. Never mind. He's still shitty.
FedEx!!!!!!!!!!!!
In-game caption contest up!
Cruz hit Kennedy! With a foul ball.
The old Uribe wouldve eaten Montero on that play at the plate! His new found patience is commendable
Urine walked then scored from first. Still unbelievable.
@ Orel
Whatever works.
Ellis hit in the leg. Runs to first.
Fuckers.
Get 2 more runs so we can bean somebody in the 9th.
@Dusty 9:59p: Urine is still 0-for-3 tonight
MELLIS charge the mound!
Evelyn Taft!!!
Weren't both teams on warnings? Thus, the D-bags pitcher should have been automatically tossed for hitting MEllis, whether there was intent or not.
Fuck Prado. Throw at the mutt.
Agreed Dusty.
Throw at anybody. i don't give a fuck just hit someone
I don't have that impending doom feeling I got yesterday in the 9th. Wonder why?
@Dusty
I think after the first ejection then it goes to ump discretion.
Just happy that we aren't looking at league.
I mean, a closer throwing strikes? That's new.
Did Vin just say "smoke city"? Awesome.
Why did it take Donnie 63 games to figure out League can't close
If Puig is hurt or suspended or not playing tomorrow, on a night when 6 Sons are in the Yard, we will straight tear some shit up.
I wish they played Sam Jackson's "bitch be cool! "
Schumaker snags the last out!
DODGERS WIN!!!
LOVE the fact that Greinke was hitting people again, after the Quentin setback.
We make party!
*borrows Spanky's bong*
HYPGTUP!
Pads beat the braves again. Dammit
TAKE THAT YOU SHITBAGS! BACK TO YOUR DESERT HOLE, BISHES!
Yeah!!
