Playing in Philly is like playing a postseason game everywhere else…even when it's just a regular-season game.
That’s how fun it is! @Phillies#mlbontbs
Jayson Stark let us know that the Cristopher Sanchez scoreless streak is even more impressive than we thought.
"This scoreless streak for Cristopher Sanchez is even more historic than we knew... This is actually the longest as a starting pitcher only, by any left-handed pitcher in the live ball era"

If you shuffle a deck of cards properly, the exact order you get has almost certainly never existed before in human history and never will again.
The number of possible arrangements of 52 cards is 52 factorial, which works out to a number so large that it has 68 digits. To put it in perspective: even if every person who ever lived shuffled a deck once per second since the beginning of the universe, you would still barely scratch the surface of all possible arrangements.
So every time you shuffle a deck, you are most likely holding a sequence that is completely unique in the history of the universe.
