Pablo Sandoval has been benched for tonight's game for "liking" two photos on Instagram during last night's 5-2 loss to the Braves. Supposedly, The Panda was in the bathroom when he checked his phone and punched the little heart icons for two pictures on his Instagram page. Said Sandoval before today's game,
