Last night was a really, really fun night to be a Pirate fan. Tonight is a fun night to be a Pirate fan, too, though. Even without Gerrit Cole on the mound, the Pirates are a good team playing a team that's right behind them in the wild card standings, and they're sending Francisco Liriano out to the mound. And I'll even agree to pretend like Brandon Inge isn't starting in right field.
First pitch tonight is at 7:05.
