Zack Greinke (5-2, 3.94) vs. Tyler Chatwood (4-1, 2.13)
How do you top yesterday's Kershaw-shutout, Puig-near-cycle, Giants-no-hit, all-around GREAT DAY for Dodger fans? You probably can't, but it's a safe bet Puig will find another way to surprise everyone.
The Dodgers are a rocket, streaking past everyone in the West. Strap in and hold on for the ride!
Awesome Puig shirt design by EephusBlue. Buy one here, won't you?

Manny Ramirez will cut hair and comply with Rangers minor league rules.
Post edited with all the signing news, so Orel's comment isn't out of context anymore.
Does Manny still have a suspension to serve?
"Ramierz"
I think retiring for more than 50 games counts.
My posts are always out of context.
It's a virtual who's-who of "Who's that?"
And with that, Louie Screws is officially unfollowed.
Cesar Izturis and Xavier Paul are both on the Reds. Interesting.
And Jonathan Broxton.
Yankees, really? Don't you watch tv?
Danny Knobler @DannyKnoblerCBS 18m
For those asking, Manny served his suspension last year with A's, but they never called him up from AAA after it was over.
Ahhh! Thanks for the clarification Orel.
Flaming Menudos still collectively have 5,237 games yet to serve for their repeated drug offenses.
@Gnomes 2:20p: "Ramierz." Minor-league spelling!

Odd scene in Boston. While time is out, Jon Lester finishes his delivery and drills SD's Chase Headley in the ankle. Headley stays in game.
Two thoughts:
-Don't break our future third baseman.
-Damn, that's a clever way to plunk someone and not have it count.
SD @ Boston, SF @ Cincy just about to start
SD up 1-0 already.
25 more write in votes for Puig from me!
Crawford to join the team in SF
Puig stretches a single into a double.
PUIG
Oh, and he slid feet-first.
Hanley singles! Ethier stretches a single into a double! WHAT IS GOING ON
Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr 2m
I would not want to drive in Cuba. Apparently there are no stop signs. #1MAN5TOOLS
Dammit. Kemp tags it, and the CF bobbles it, but holds on.
MLB Memes @MLBMeme 5m
Yasiel PUIG batted .436 in June, but with a .666 average in July, it looks like the June slump is over. #Dodgers
Nice.
Cargo making up for yesterday's disappointing performance. Tie game.
Hanley muffs the catch but AGon saves. his bacon.
It ain't winning if you ain't on drugs.

Stripling pulled after an inning in Chattanooga. If Ned trades him for Nolasco, I swear to God...
Rockies with men on second and third, one out.
Dustin Nosler @FeelinKindaBlue 43s
Stripling will pitch in relief until after the Southern Lg AS game. Not sure why, but could be to limit IP (despite what I said earlier).
You are killing my buzz Zack.
RA for Peter Mahieu.
Zack getting slapped around again. 3-1 Rox
Damnit, Zack.
Also, Dylan Hernandez continues the general hatin'.
Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez 54s
Won't lie. A little disappointed with the quality of Jay-Z's shot at Boras. Not exactly Canibus on LL or Quik on MC Eiht.
GET IT TOGETHER ZACK
How do you pronounce "Eiht"?
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Luis Cruz has a flyout (progress!) and an error in his brief Yankee career.
It's "only" 4-1. We can do this.
@Orel 8
Mellis leadoff single!
Thanks, FB. I feel one degree cooler.
Puig swings and misses with flair.
Check-swing K for Puig.
so now they start busting him inside again?
crud - i was hoping we could get a run back this inning
Cmon Zach, hows about a clean inning?
Zack is still in spring training.
@Orel he played A-Wax in Menace II Society
Fuck. Zack is super-hittable today.
@FB: The more you know!
sheezus
I can't believe Morrissey got thrown out of Egypt.
Hey, a play went our way! The ol' 4-6 DP!
OK let's get a run or two
Kofta is Murder
I really want Matty to get going again
Hanley stays hot. Will be that much more painful when he gets hurt right before Crawford returns.
Matty flashing the smile
low fastballs - take note, Zachary
Kemp hasn't struck out yet. This is progress.
You had to show Kemp hitting the wall again, KCAL?
Wild pitch gets Hanley to second
Hanley is flaming.
Ajellis RBI knocks in Hanley, who still looks a little tender running.
attaboy, AJ!
Damn. Uribe ties it up!
URINE!
Urine!
Zack doubles!
Greenkie with the double!
And all with two out!
I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my Hanley flaming!
Urine!
these teams are way too chummy
YES!!!!!!!! MEllis makes it 5-4.
http://i.imgur.com/omeF86d.gif
Mellis RBI-triple! Or double + error!
MELLIS!
My god, Mr. F, where did that come from?
@FB
I know - I wanted to see Greinke throwing at that infielder while standing on 2B, not patting each other on the ass. If I wanted to see ass patting, I'd...
Better stay PC here.
hehe nice one, Master F
Puig makes the third out. He's useless!
BENCH PUIG!
EephusBlue on twitter linked it.
OMG send this guy back to AA!
Re: chumminess. It's all of baseball. Too many guys changing teams too often.
@DB, borrow Mr C's clown porn calendar?
That's the only AB of Puig's I have seen. Have them going inside a lot?
^have they been throwing inside
I seem to remember at least one high-and-tight pitch to Puig.
@Paul the Kd him inside on the first AB as well
Zack is gonna have a hard time getting to the 5th.
GODDAMMIT, THROW STRIKES!
@Paul, Zach is gonna have a hard time avoiding my fist on his clavicle if he doesn't start getting outs
what is wrong with me?
Not drinking enough?
that's it
it was amazing what terrible swings Gonzales had yesterday. I had never seen anything like that before
phew - big K there
Just sinking in...Brute 66 named NL Rookie and Player of the month for June.
No player has ever done both until now.
excellent
@Dusty - it really is amazing. I really hope it lasts for a while
AGon. Oh my.
Buh-bye ball!!! #AGon
My god I feel sorry for that little ball that AGon that just hit.
A-Gone! That was a blast!
Come on, Matty. You're the only thing missing from this joy ride.
attaboy Matty, keep the inning alive for AJ and Uribe
Can you imagine if everyone stays healthy and Matt & Zack find their grooves?
Cmon Zacharia, another clean inning please
There are still a few question marks in the bullpen...and defense could still improve...but it's gonna be fun to watch regardless.
GRRR
DEM WALKS
Todd Helton's head must be shrinking
hot pink top
While we're on - what do they call them, statistics - I heard this morning on MLB Network a discussion re Kid K. I couldn't write and drive so didn't catch the whole thing.
The stat went something like: in the live ball era, there are only three pitchers (minumum 1,000 innings) who have/had a 2.x (sub-3.00) ERA: Kershaw, M. Rivera, and Hoyt Wilhelm.
This helps in breaking down that stat:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/earned_run_avg_career.shtml
Zack Greinke's head is shrunk.
unacceptable
LOL SEVEN WALKS
Aw shit.
Fuckin walls.
GODDAMN COORS
Foam walls in every stadium.
Jesus christ.
And all of Los Angeles exhaled.
Is that wall ok?
That was scary.
*faints*
Fuck!
Hanley always makes it scary out there.
Great play by Greinke.
FOCK!
I don't care that I'm at work. I let out an audible "SHIT!" after Puig went down.
If Jude Law and Bill Murray had a kid he'd look like Scott Van Slyke.
If Andy Van Slyke had a kid — oh wait.
Mellis bunt single!
Time to hit the wall in revenge, Yasiel.
stiff swing
he is way off the plate this AB
he is almost on the back line of the batter's box
good job, YP!
Puig out.
Violent JP with the K
Of the game, that is. Dre moves to right, Skip in left.
ugh, please be OK
Please don't be a Bo Jackson injury
BOS 2, SD 1, F
ARI 0, NYM 2, T5
SF 2, CIN 2, T8
Howell Ks Cargo! Impressive!
woo - nasty!
I Got It!
Mets up 2-0. Boston wins 2-1.
Come on, Matty...just keep it off the ground.
The Rockies have caught a case of the errors. So much more fun watching the other team struggle with it.
Lil Geico here, AJellis.
good job, Matty
A leadoff walk - what a shock!
MLB.com headline:
"Nolasco ignores rumors, hits 1,000 K's in win"
Wow, what a game he had!
DP please
No dis to Louis Screws, but he's 0-3 in his Yankme debut and batting a cool .124 now.
cmon, kid!
try that low outside fastball again
shite, a double play would have been nice there
If Puig is hurt I'm going to throw something.
stay tough, Jose
balls
Rox pull to within one. Good learning experience for Dominguez. Let's hope it doesn't cost us the game.
it's OK, kid. Matt Guerrier would have given up a homer and left the bases loaded
Paco against a righty, huh?
Nice glovework, Paco.
nice play, Pac!
cmon, Paco, finish this off
ugh this is only the 7th?
holy moly - attaboy Paco!
that was narsty!
Paco!
Siddown, aquavit!
SKIP!
Skip?
All of a sudden we're aggressive on the basepaths. Schu is the latest to turn a single into a double
That was close. Phew. Just goes to show how fast Puig is.
SF 2, CIN 2, B9
Was Punto humping his bat?
crap
that was unlucky
Damn you, Cargo.
I agree with Lyons. Schu would have been dead to rights at the plate.
Definitely agree w Lyons.
Don't quote me on that.
Ken Gurnick @kengurnick 27s
Puig has bruised left hip, x-rays negative, day to day.
fudge
Aren't we all.
Paco for another inning scare me
Dave mlicki?
Padres lost
Giants tied
Dbacks winning
fark, sneaky grounder gets through
