The Yankees FB site reported that Derek Jeter would miss the rest of the season for a sex change operation.

Facebook closed today @ $20.04 down 0.84. YIKES!

This is pretty creative by the Blue Jays minor league club.

Get this. To be eligible for the batting title, you need 502 plate appearances. Melky has 501 and is 2nd behind McCutchen. Haha.

I believe this is appropriate.

Ah, but you forgot the footnote that says if you add in enough at-bats to meet the 502, the player can still win the batting title.

MLB's not going to do him that favor if it comes up, I'm sure.

I don't think it's a choice. They add the PA as an 0-for-1 (n his case), and if he's still better than McCutchen (or whoever), the rule says he wins it. Just read a book that discussed Andres Galarraga's batting title during the first year of the Rockies (he ended up having enough PAs by just a couple). I assume it's not different because he's suspended rather than injured.

So many possibly amusing things that don't happen because baseball is run by old fogies. At least we have sausage races, I guess.

Watching highlights of Anaheim-Cleveland.

Somebody's Little League team got lost on the way to Williamsport and wound up in Cleveland, wearing Tribe gear.
