Week 5: Friday's report


Buster Posey's big day was bittersweet for the
Dodgers fans in charge of Manwaring a Muumuu.
STUDS: Matt Holliday (Arbitration Losers) hit a 2-run homer, singled twice and scored 3 runs. A.J. Burnett (Going Going Gonzo) struck out 9 and allowed 1 run in a 7-inning victory. Buster Posey (Manwaring a Muumuu) doubled home the Giants' first run and hit a walkoff solo homer to beat the hated Dodgers. Sergio Romo (Testosteraun Braun) struck out 2 in a scoreless inning and earned the victory.

DUDS: Aroldis Chapman (Arbitration Losers) struggled in a non-save opportunity, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks and 3 runs while striking out 1 in 0.2 inning. Ryan Zimmerman (Lawyers, Guns & Money) went 0 for 4 with 4 strikeouts in his return to the lineup.

TRANSACTIONS: Plenty of moves to catch up on, including one I missed earlier in the week.

• Rookies place OF Jason Heyward on the disabled list and acquire OF Reed Johnson, who takes Heyward's place in the lineup.

• Lawyers, Guns & Money activate 3B Ryan Zimmerman and put him in the lineup in place of Placido Polanco, who was given his unconditional release.

• Manwaring a Muumuu activates 3B Aramis Ramirez and places him in the lineup. SP Josh Beckett is released to make room on the roster for Ramirez. 2B Mark Ellis can be moved to the bench because he has missed three consecutive games this week because of injury, so 3B/2B Jedd Gyorko shifts to second base. Manwaring a Muumuu had used conditional DL moves on Ellis and OF Carl Crawford, but those are rendered moot by the Ramirez move and Crawford's Friday appearance, respectively.
