Injury Roll Call: Kemp returns soon, Puig banged up, Crawford hobbled, Fife’s shoulder again

Found July 15, 2013 on ChadMoriyama.com:

The Dodgers have used the disabled list 22 times this season, with 15 different players. Kemp is one of six players with at least two DL stints. Matt was examined by Dr. ElAttr...

Snubbed Puig is a real Playboy

Via Fox Sports  |  July 16, 2013
The best baseball players got rewarded for their hard work and talent by being asked to play baseball one more time in the All-Star Game. Deserving players who just missed out on the honor are said to have been "snubbed," and they presumably kick the dirt with the toe of their shoe and stick out their bottom lip.

For MLB Fans, Patience is Still a Virtue

Via The Sports Post  |  July 16, 2013
I would like to announce that I am calling a MLB fan-only meeting. I have to make a complaint about how the majority of us fans have become so enthralled in Puigmania that we have already decided that Yasiel Puig is the next best player based off of a minuscule sample of 151 at-bats.  Now, before any of you Puigmaniacs jump the gun once again on this article and skip down to...

By now, we all now how this internet thing works. Juice up your post with SEO goodness, and then attach a click-baity headline that attracts eyeballs, whether it’s accurate or has anything to do with the story or not.
