  • Hitting a HR with the team?!?

    Glad to have found your pod… as a lifelong Pirate fan that was fortunate enough to be a little Bucco when they won in 79… it has been a struggle for most of the years since!!! You all bring a refreshing look to a team that needs quite a bit of squinting to see the positives. Keep up the great work and maybe just maybe we will be playing some games that count in October soon!!! Let’s go Bucs!!!

The only criticism I have is the opening musi... more
