Dunson: Yasiel Puig Is Not An All-Star, Somebody Lied

Gotta check those Disabled List League numbers…had no idea Bryce Harper was slumping.

No, it’s not more ridiculous than the backhanded campaign to start Mariano Rivera in his final Summer Classic. This one is a bit premature. Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig’s 13-game MLB career is barely older than baby Kimye and he has barely played 40 games in the minors, but that hasn’t stopped fans from charging the hype machine and pushing his All-Star candidacy.

Talk to me when Kershaw leads his team to the AFC Divisional round of the playoffs!

I am waiting for Karnak to give the question.

Last Sunday I saw Kershaw give his testimony and sign some books at a church I frequent (Calvary Chapel South Bay). Good story, cute wife.

What is a lefty rag*, a ragtag bunch, a raggedy lefty arm, a rag-armed lefty and a lefty in rags?

* I have no idea, but I'm sure someone's called it that at some point.

Darn, I was hoping maybe this was a crazed rant by Placshke or Simers.

SOSHnac the Magnificent: What is a lefty rag*, a ragtag bunch, a raggedy lefty arm, a rag-armed lefty and a lefty in rags?

[Dodger audience responds with boos.]

SOSHnac: May your only sister's hind quarters be used to feed the multitudes.

Ed: HWARR HAR HAR HAR

Frank McCourt: As today's date is June 20th, I hold in my hand the last pay envelope.

[Dodger audience is silent, having left in the middle of the bit.]

Kershaw and Tebow are two highly famous young professional athletes

I doubt this is true of Kershaw.

7's a winner... too bad you won the internet on a day when a lot of it has gone dark.

Since I've always associated Kershaw with Koufax, I just assumed he was Jewish. Not that he couldn't be Jewish and Christian, but you know what I mean.

There's a nice 2011 Topps card teaming Koufax and Kershaw (I have one):

Is Tebow really a huge showoff with that post-TD action?

Is Tebow really a huge showoff with that post-TD action?

Yes, even if he isn't trying to be. It's no different than Sammy Sosa's hop or a touchdown dance. It's a planned celebration type of thing that is showy. Anyone who defends Tebow, doesn't have the right to rag on other people for being showy.
