Dodgers troll Bumgarner with 'Don't Look At Me' shirts

If there was any chance of Madison Bumgarner and the Dodgers reconciling following Monday's brouhaha, the boys from Los Angeles destroyed it Tuesday with an epic trolljob at the left-hander's expense.

After Bumgarner sparked a benches-clearing fracas at Chavez Ravine by barking "Don't look at me" at Yasiel Puig upon getting the 25-year-old Cuban to ground out, the Dodgers - who ended up extending their division lead over San Francisco to six games with a 2-1, walk-off victory - showed up to work Tuesday with T-shirts bearing Bumgarner's now-famous words.

Puig, who has gotten into it with Bumgarner before, looked particularly resplendent in his new blue shirt, and made sure to note via hashtag he isn't, in fact, looking at the truculent Giants ace.

Following Monday's kerfuffle, Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw was quick to absolve his team's divisive outfielder of any wrongdoing.

"That wasn't Puig's fault," Kershaw told MLB.com's Jack Baer and Chris Haft. "Kind of looked like (Bumgarner) was saying don't look at him. We all know Bum's pretty intense out there, but he definitely stirred the fire on that one. He was asking for it. I don't know what he expected to happen."
