Wait … someone stole home?: I personally didn't see it. Oh well.
Sleepless in Seattle: Now Griffey apparently wasn't sleeping in the clubhouse? This is too confusing.
Saltalamacchia's Troubles: Get this: he's having trouble throwing it back to the pitcher in Triple-A. But let's give ol' Salty some slack: he's had surgery and the weight of his name on his back is probably weighing him down.
Binocular Controversy: Phillies bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer was seen looking through binoculars from Coors Field's bullpen. Was he stealing signs? I can't say for certain but it sure seems fishy. If he wasn't stealing signs what was he doing? Lip-reading what the guy with the beer gut in the third row was saying?
Issues at Durham: Former Ranger Hank Blalock was signed by the Rays to a minor-league deal and has been with the Bulls for a while. But his agent, the unflappable Scott Boras, had inserted into Blalock's contract that if he didn't make the Rays by a certain date, he'd be released and would scour the majors for another job. Good for Blalock (and Boras's wallet), but with Peña and Zobrist mired in slumps, now may be the time to bring him up to the Show.
The Pirates Didn't Suck?: Andrew McCutchen and Garrett Jones both had five hits, the first time two Pirates teammates achieved that since 1970. I know LL's not happy about this since it happened against his Cubs, but the question still remains: how long before they get traded?
Also, am I the only one who's not interested in this "LEGO Universe" thing?
