Marlins trade Reyes and Johnson to the Blue Jays.
The details are still coming out but it appears that the Marlins are trading Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, John Buck, and Emilio Bonifacio to the Blue Jays for Henderson Alvarez, Justin Nicolino, Yunel Escobar, Adeiny Hechavarria, and Jake Marisnick amongst others. Look for more details to come out.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

when I’m late to a meeting and I hear there is leftover dessert in the kitchen
Naturally, after hitting his very first major league home run on Saturday, Yasmani Grandal was greeted with the silent treatment in the dugout. So he high-fived the air before the team finally congratulated him.
Try not to smile when you watch this. I dare you.

Now this is cool.
“We have a sense going in that an early or a late midweek game isn’t as desirable as a summer weekend game — peak vs. off-peak, so to speak — and the reality is as you get into the season things happen,” said Dave Howard, Mets executive vice president for business operations. “Sometimes marketplaces will tell you that you probably should reduce this price even further, or you probably can raise the price here because the demand is very high because you have a key pitching matchup in a critical game. It just allows us to make real-time adjustments based on those factors.”
The following is not mathematically rigorous, since the events of yesterday evening were contingent upon one another in various ways. But just for fun, let’s put all of them together in sequence:
— The Red Sox had just a 0.3 percent chance of failing to make the playoffs on Sept. 3.
— The Rays had just a 0.3 percent chance of coming back after trailing 7-0 with two innings to play.
— The Red Sox had only about a 2 percent chance of losing their game against Baltimore, when the Orioles were down to their last strike.
— The Rays had about a 2 percent chance of winning in the bottom of the 9th, with Johnson also down to his last strike.
Multiply those four probabilities together, and you get a combined probability of about one chance in 278 million of all these events coming together in quite this way.
When confronted with numbers like these, you have to start to ask a few questions, statistical and existential.

Wow.

Hahaha, the staff at Tropicana Field refuses to flash the score of the Baltimore / Boston game (until just seconds ago), so a Rays fan resorts to… creative measures to update his fellow Tampa Bay devotees.
My question is… where the Hell did he get the Dri-Erase board?
Seriously…who brings a white board to a ball game???
