The Pittsburgh Pirates

I don't think there's a more pathetic franchise in sports. Well on their way to 15 losing seasons in a row.

But boy could they do something if they could ever get their pitchers and batters on the same page. The first month of the season, the offense was nonexistant but the pitching (by two starters) was superb. Result a 12-12 April. Now May hasn't been so good. Their two good pictures came back to earth and the Pirates are 10-15 in May.

But until recently the offense had been non-existant. Now the last three games the Pirates have suddenly exploded offensively:

10-4
9-5
14-10

But look at the runs giving up. If the Pirates could keep the offense and get the Pitchers started again, they could be like the Indians in the 90s. Of course that will never happen. The Pirates are the Pirates after all.
