Agreed on both fronts. I always really liked the cursive font, but the classic would've been pretty cool too. I'm happy with anything that isn't Dodgers blue and Dodgers white though

Speaking of, the Dads can't seem to win against anyone besides the Dodgers, which is troubling. I do like beating the Dodgers, but winning other games is similarly important

A little research does indeed show that they have more upcoming games against not-the-Dodgers than against the Dodgers. So I would have to suggest that they may want to win other games too.

So Bryce Harper got hit in the face and Didi Gregorius got it in the back on consecutive at bats, Joe Girardi got ejected for arguing about a warning being issued to both benches, and John Kruk is pissed because the umps won't let the players police their own behavior...

Mets give up two runs and let the pitcher reach first on a dropped third strike.

And Bryce Harper manages to get ejected from a game where he wasn't even in the line up for correctly pointing out that the second base umpire doesn't know what a fucking straight line is...

YESSSSSSSS!!!

Baltimore Orioles pitcher John Means has pitched a CG no hitter, struck out 12 while allowing no walks, versus the Seattle Mariners!
27 men up, 27 outs.

It's technically not a perfect game though. In the second a Mariner batter took first on a third strike which got away for the catcher. The runner was then caught stealing by the same catcher.
But wow, what a pitching performance by Means, now 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA.

WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO!

Kind of obscure fact, but Adam Wainwright is now the first Cardinals pitcher to have 1,000 strikeouts at home in STL.

Mariner hitters bats couldn't touch Mr. Means today. Next time try going to the plate swinging one of my gold shit-digging shovels. Fuck. They couldn't do any worse than today.
