* The episode ends with Zito, King of the Bros, giving some words of wisdom in a short montage over the closing credits. Topics are included but not limited to: The importance of superstitions involving wearing pink underwear on game days, saying that he "heard one time that anger is frustrated love," and pretty much any other piece of dime-store zen philosophy you can think of.
* Showtime claims that the Poseys live in San Francisco, but his house is close to a forest and they appear to have no neighbors. Then he crosses the Bay Bridge to get to the ballpark. It's okay to say that someone lives in Walnut Creek, guys.
* Brandon Belt gets a short moment in the spotlight after his two-homer game in Miami, and you can tell that they wanted to showcase his story during the series. He's honest about how tough it's been to yo-yo back and forth between the majors and minors this year, but he also says he's anxious to use the rest of the season to his advantage.
* Cody Ross's wife is thrilled to be back in Miami! She also says that San Francisco is cool, or something. Something tells me she's not a Democrat.
* Kristin Posey thinks that Scott Cousins acted improperly on the play that injured her husband. He makes it clear that he does not share her opinion.
* The episode's funniest moment comes when Matt Cain waits for a haircut along with several Spanish-speaking players. He's not sure what they're saying, but he thinks they're making fun of his weight.
