"Surprising Pirates" feature at The Sweetspot on ESPN.com
Names the Buccos "Best story of the first half." ESPN.com has long been hated around here, mostly for Jason Stark trying to hide the fact that he's not funny behind cheap Pirates jokes. This is by David Schoenfield who replaced Rob Neyer. Of course there's some backhanded compliments (though you cannot disagree with many). Nothing we didn't already know here, but in my opinion it's great to see our Buccos getting love over at the WWL. Maybe they'll even show a non-Strasburg debut Pirates game someday
