Pirates Weirdly Troll Themselves for Awful Trades Before Gerrit Cole-Tyler Glasnow Game 5 Matchup
By Mark Powell
Yay, social media team?
The Pirates are trying to steer into the skid, but there is no clever tweet which can undo two of the worst trades in recent memory, both of which are rearing their ugly heads on Thursday night in Houston.
Tyler Glasnow and Gerrit Cole, both of whom are former Pirates themselves, are facing off in Game 5. It might be best for Bucs fans to stay off twitter for just a night. As for the Pirates themselves, they have a better idea.

I guess?
Rather than waste a perfectly good computer, maybe Bob Nutting and Co. ought to fire the man responsible for those awful moves, one Neal Huntington. Instead, Nutting gave this architect of self destruction a vote of confidence, instead getting rid of manager Clint Hurdle.
Pretty wild how the Astros picked up the laptop you dropped and now it's a 15-inch Macbook Pro.

Yeah, about Pirates twitter logging off...not gonna happen. These Yinzers are capable and have plenty of social media savvy.
you threw that laptop better than half of your pitching staff!

Even the city itself is getting in on the action.
We know the feeling.

Does this mean you're misappropriating funds?
It's definitely a hockey night in Pittsburgh.
