- Halifax continues to maintain its comfortable lead, but the rest of the American League is separated by just 9 games. Bedford's hot June (16-10) has them just 1.5 games out of the wildcard spot. The entire South Division is within 1.5 games of each other, and it looks like Atlanta could leap from last to first in one weekend.
- Atlanta's Homer Bailey had a no-hitter against San Juan through 8 1/3 innings, but couldn't complete the game due to a strained triceps muscle. Sports radio callers are calling him "soft" for taking himself out of the game, but how quickly they forget his 11-1, 2.48 mark this season.
- Ireland just can't shake Scotland, as their lead in the Euro stays at 1 game for the umpteenth week in a row. The Invader offense is covering for some deficiencies in the pitching (namely a lack of reliable 5th starter and some brutal middle relief). Can they shore up some of these issues on the trade market?
- Osaka's Prince Fielder has had a bit of a power outage recently, and teammate Ben Parker has almost caught up. Fielder leads the league with 35 round trippers, while Parker is at 32. Both have 78 RBI.
- Speaking of Osaka, they're back to .500. Golf clap.
- With Rookie League in full swing, I thought we'd look at how many rookies are in each organization in SLB. The results may surprise you:
