The Miami Heat lost on Wednesday to the Chicago Bulls by a score of 101-97. Their impressive 27 game winning streak has come to an end, and it ends as the second longest streak of all time.
The New York Mets streak of days without an injury ended today at 0 when Justin Turner strained his calf during the Mets' 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros. One wonders whether the Mets can go 27 straight days without an injury in 2013. I predict that they will … but not until November. (December if Lucas Duda decides to revive his career as a furniture mover.)
Also of note: The Mets sold Elvin Ramirez to the Angels. The irony here is that while most people think that the Mets have nobody on their roster, they still have to get rid of players on the 40 man roster to make room for the abundance of players that they "don't have". Now there is room for guys like Marlon Byrd and Scott Atchison, which means it won't be long before one of those guys bombs and we start pining for Elvin Ramirez. (And if you think I'm crazy, have you met Darren O' Day?)
Sadly, I'll never get the opportunity to use this:

The next obvious player to be gone from the 40 man roster is Reese Havens, and I doubt the Mets can get very much for him unless his body is sold to science. Or science fiction … whoever pays more. If I was Reese, I'd hide in the swamp with the alligators until the team goes north.
