There is nothing the baseball gods enjoy more than screwing with Pirates fans.

It’s why when they blessed us with stars like Andrew McCutchen and Starling Marte, they tossed in Neil Walker.  A guy who on the surface was the perfect person to become a franchise player but who frustrated fans and never connected like he ultimately should have.

It’s why the Pirates finally start winning games they’re stuck behind a Cardinal’s dynasty that makes no sense and sends us into rabbit holes of conspiracy theory’s trying to explain how all these random bums keep winning.

It’s why when they Buccos FINALLY make it to the playoffs they get stuck in one game matchups against the leagues premier pitchers.  It should also be noted, the baseball gods enjoy screwing with the Reds just a little bit more as they blessed the Reds with that mental midget, Johnny Cueto.

And now finally when the Cardinals aren’t the dominant NL Central team it makes perfect sense for this city that the Cubs had been building an army of their own and now are on pace to win the most games of a season.

Currently sitting at 30-26 the Pirates are on the same pace as 2015 when they won the second most games in baseball.  Sure in the last week they may have lost a few more games than they should have to some lesser competition but that’s baseball.

Things came to a head yesterday Andrew McCutchen got the 56th game off and all of a sudden the people are freaking out.

Side Note: He got the 57th game off last year and nobody freaked out…..

Then everyone’s favorite center fielder apparently lit the match for the cities baseball frustrations who were already on edge after then Pen’s also lost Saturday.

Decent joke I think we can all relate to but unfortunately he was the husband who essentially told his thousands of wives [fans] to calm down while welllllll onto her period.

My favorite part about this however is that Cutch showed his human side and began firing back.  This is the time of crisis when you get to see what your guy is all about and hope he doesn’t freak out and go postal and lose the entire city.

Got Heeeeeeeem

Side Note 2: Kudos to the people who can play nice and make your boy laugh
