What made baseball fun this week: We’re living in Ronald Acuña Jr.’s world, Pirates no longer stink!
By John Buhler
So this is a thing now?!: The Pittsburgh Pirates don’t have to sell the team to Pat McAfee and the boys now, as they no longer stink!
No team in baseball is compromised of more absolute stallions than the Pittsburgh Pirates. It has only been a month, but the Buccos are having their best run of it since Andrew McCutchen last played for them. So why did yinz give up on Larry? He is the best thing to happen to Pittsburgh since the Franco Harris statue in the airport, and you know it! Look at how freaking good he still is!
If Cutch has a million fans, I'm one of them.

I don’t care if they win the NL Central, barely miss the postseason or don’t win a game for the rest of the year, Pat McAfee and the boys are elated that they don’t have to buy the team now from Bob Nutting, as these guys no longer stink! Even without Oneil Cruz hitting one p**s missile after another into one of those rivers back there, this team may be able to stop Sid Bream from sliding.
Clearly, the Pirates are Nothin’ But a Good Time now. We are longer look at them whenever they show up on the schedule as …Look What the Cat Dragged in… Instead, we are more invested in what happens next than any season of Rock of Love on VH1 ever did for us. Every Rose Has Its Thorn, but I love the way these Pirates Talk Dirty to Me on the baseball diamond on the reg now.
If we don’t get a repeat of the 1991 and 1992 NLCS between the Braves and Pirates, I will be sad.
But what about the fans??? | Oh, my god! We’re having a fire … sale!
