If we’re young and healthy, we live each day like it would not be our last. We jump out of planes for fun, go out to parties, binge watch movies while crushing a box of Oreos. We tell our friends and family “see you later”, rather
than “goodbye”. We take spontaneous trips to Connecticut and sit through boring ceremonies just to spend extra time with someone. What was to be a fun night of boating and enjoying life,
turned deadly for 24 year old Miami Marlins star pitcher and Cuba native, Jose Fernandez.

Navy football is back, boys
It seems as though not too long ago, that my best friend and I were freezing at the NCAA Military Bowl game,
between Pittsburgh Panthers and Naval Academy Midshipmen. Today was a different story as one other friend and I were sweating whilst sitting in the shade at 9am, watching the Navy open practice. Not only was the weather different, but what I saw on the field was different as well.

Nationals Close on Melancon

Mark Melancon will join the Nationals Sunday in San Francisco.
The Washington Nationals have traded for Pittsburgh Pirates’ closer Mark Melancon. Going the other way is reliever Felipe Rivero and minor league pitcher Taylor Hearn.
Melancon will join the Washington Sunday in San Francisco as the team finishes their four game series with the San Francisco Giants.
In the past week, incumbent Nationals’ closer Jonathan Papelbon has two losses in addition to a blown save. Papelbon was then yanked after allowing a hit while only retiring one out in the ninth inning against the Giants Thursday night.
What role Papelbon will have with Washington will be determined in the coming days. There is a chance the team looks to trade or cut bait with the player who last season infamously choked left fielder Bryce Harper.
Melancon has spent the past four seasons with the Pirates earning three all-star appearances while keeping his ERA under 2.3 in each season. This season, Melancon sports a 1.51 ERA with 30 saves out of 33 opportunities. The eight year veteran has appeared in six postseason games, all with Pittsburgh, and is 1-0 yet has a 6.45 ERA.
An interesting wrinkle in the deal is that the Pirates will reportedly send cash to the Nats along with Melancon. This could be utilized to re-sign Melancon, who is slated to become a free agent after the 2016 season.
