Game 64 Thread: June 11 vs. D'bags, 7p

"Hey girl, I would never let League pitch the 9th."

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.
