Today, Mo’Ne Davis did it again. In their first outing at Williamsport, she pitched a complete game and back-to-back shutouts. Slugger Jared Sprague-Lott pumped out a three-run homer in the first inning, and the rest is history.
The irony is, the Taney Dragons Little League team is succeeding against the odds. Our city playground maintenance has been cut to the bone, and so has our public school budget, where most of the Dragons attend school. (They couldn’t even afford uniforms, they had team T-shirts. The Phillies raised money last week to pay for the trip to Williamsport.)
Philly’s schools superintendent just announced another $38M cut necessary to allow the schools to open on time next week.
So when Gov. Corbett congratulations the Dragons on their first World Series win, let’s put that in some kind of context. Fuck him, go Dragons!

She pitches very, very well. For a girl.
Not funny.
At all.
According to objective reality, she also pitches very well for a boy.
Do you also have something to say about her color?
It would be great if this ultra-underdog team could win the whole thing.
