The Dodgers sole — and most deserving — All-Star, Clayton Kershaw, figures to see an inning or two of action in the first half of tonight's game. (By the way, where's his damn contract extension?)
Meanwhile, the guys who should have been accompanying Kershaw are getting some well-deserved R&R. Yasiel Puig is partying it up while Hanley Ramirez is apparently chillin' in Cabo.
This is your only baseball for the next three days (cries), so enjoy. Go NL!

I'm worried that Puig is hanging with Snoop Dog at the Mansion...Seriously, is that the best person he could find to spend his free time with?
Don't worry, Snoop is franchise-approved!
I'm more concerned about Puig hanging out with Chris Brown. I don't know how Matt Kemp's relationship with Rihanna ended, but if they're still friends, Kemp and Puig might soon be enemies!

Kershaw will be the second pitcher in the game, after Harvey's two innings. (Unless Harvey shits the bed or something.)
In which case, Kershaw has to remake the bed? I don't get it.
He has the strip the bedsheets à la Rick Monday running off with the flag.
ASG expectations: Kershaw pitches at least two perfect innings, hits a HR, and flips his bat like Puig.
Apparently, they've been using the DH for all ASGs since 2010, and I've never noticed.
That makes two of us Nomo.
I still want to see Kershaw flip his bat like Puig!
There wasn't even a DH option on the NL ballot. How do fans pick the starter for that position?
The NL can use the DBF.
I like it!
NL starter is not the leader in innings, wins, or ERA and his team is 9 games under .500. Seems like a good decision.
Lead off double and then nailed Cano in the knee.
Shea Stadium, the radium, EMD squared.
Yeah great choice Bochy.
The bed-shitting has begun!
Ouch. That sounded nasty. I'm sure Skankee fans are up in arms.
I think the Dodgers take Game 1 and 2 of the Fall Classic anyways. Close it out in LA.
Re: Orel...not feeling better about Puig and the Dog, nor the gf beater, either. I do like the idea of the series Dugout Drama, but that's being handled by the Marlins.
And as far as the DH, the MLB player's union boss wants the NL to adopt it, to which I say FU. We have the best hitting pitchers in the world, and I'm not sitting them on the bench so Urine can come in and strike out.
So there. BTW, just commenting. Not watching the game. Trying to finish my Maserati GT TC review and stay ahead of Orel in Candy Crush Saga.
Okay so we close it out in Boston. I always wanted to go in the fall.
Nice swing, Cargo. Dumb-ass.
So now Kershaw is a fly-ball pitcher?
1-2-3! Good job, CK!
That's what an ASG starting pitcher looks like.
NL Pitchers who have pitched today without giving up a hit: Clayton Kershaw.

Sorry O. It is Sax.
yeah Bochy, by all means don't start Kershaw. And you wonder why the gnats suck
Oyster Pubes strikes out, lol.
Watch Mo give up four.
Great reception for Rivera.
Goldshit double is just the NL's 3rd hit.
NL dies. Because no Puig.
Preach it, Spank.
Pfffft.
Okay that wasn't fun.
On to first place Dodgers!
Wait Pagan's inside the park homerun in that stupid triples alley is the number one moment of the first half? What a crappy first half it must have been.
@BJ: CCS level update?!
