Dear ESPN,

Stop alerting people to no-hitters and perfect games.

99 times of 100, you jinx that shit. And tonight, you ruined an absolute gem from Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez in twenty minutes.

I mean, rule number one when it comes to perfect games and no-no’s: YOU DO NOT ANNOUNCE IT OUT LOUD. Baseball is full of superstition! And I’ve told you this time and again:

Sanchez gave up just one hit in the Nationals 2-0 win over the Cardinals. It could have been a no-no if you’d have kept your jinxing mouths shut.

Know better, do better.

Sincerely,

Moonshots and Mustard
