Seeing the Pirates draw 32,000+ fans last night and 33,000+ fans today to a Wednesday afternoon 12:35 game kinda helps that, too. That is great to see. If those fans aren't going to abandon ship, then neither am I.

BTW, they did hang on to win 3-2 and finished with a 4-2 homestand. All things considered, that isn't bad at all.
Nope and one more thing everybody.... Guess who's coming up to join the big leagues....
