What is the deal with the Pirates?

[Bill McBlueState]

They had such a terrible couple of weeks in June, and now this!

It's like they're good or something.

1. Jason Bay was injured. And the pitching has come around.

Oliver Perez, Kip Wells, Kris Benson, Josh Fogg and Sean Burnett all are pitching well.

[Bill McBlueState]

2. pitching well and hitting well at the same time

It's been, what, eleven years since that happened?

It's almost enough to make me not care about the impending start of Steelers camp. (But not quite!)

3. Young and hungry, good mgr, good park, good unies....I miss Giles

I hate the last part. But the Padres are fun, too.

4. Let's Go Bucs!

Consistent starting pitching is the key.

5. Inspired by Franken?

Perhaps his "Pirate Day" pumped them up.
