This Week in JPEGs - Featuring Greek geometry and Jewish mysticism

Last week's winner was titled Joey and Nibbles and Pancakes, obviously. It's so great when things are easy. Joey Votto is the absolute best, not only because he hits the baseball the best but because he gift wraps this kind of neat stuff for us idiot fans. What a mensch.

Mmmm, it smells like food in here! On Wednesday afternoon, Johnny Cueto threw one of the best pitching performances I've seen in a good long time. He threw a complete game shutout against the Pirates, surrendering only three hits (two of which were of the weak-ass infield variety), striking out 12, and walking exactly zero. He tallied a gamescore of 93, which is like really really good. He was really cookin'.
