- On its face, this caption is pretty innocuous, but I spent all day imagining what a Shadow Kirby would be capable of, and I’m truly terrified of what my brain came up with. Thank all the powers that be that that little pink ball uses his powers for good or society would be so screwed.

- Framber Valdez hopes that a sprained ankle won’t keep him out for more than one start.
- The MLBPA has expanded its executive board, from 38 members to 72, making room for 34 minor league representatives.
- One of Seattle’s sons is coming home next week, and I for one can’t wait to host him.
Thank you everyone who voted to make a dream come true! Being able to play my first All-Star game in my hometown is going to be a memory of a lifetime.
