I took notice the Pittsburgh Pirates have “brought up” their #1 draft pick: Gerrit Cole who struck out the first batter he faced with a 99 mph fast ball and followed up with a 2 RBI base hit with his first at bat against San Fran’s Cy Young award winning pitcher.  Gerrit went on to record his first win, and on Sunday he recorded his second.  The Pirates have a deep pitching staff.  And, they have the will and motivation to win thereby snapping Pittsburgh’s more than 2 decade drought of winning seasons, the longest in the history of professional sports.  Even if you are a Phillies or Yankees or Sox fan, a small part of you has to cheer for the Pirates to finally have a winning season.
