Wait ... what?

And now to look in on the Blob's favorite meme, the Battle for the Cellar, in which the Blob's baseball team, the cruddy Pittsburgh Pirates, are locked in a struggle to the death with the equally cruddy Cincinnati Reds.

("Stop it! Just stop it! Enough with this stupid contrived meme!" you're saying.)

Anyway, it seems after an early surge the Reds have returned to their customary place at the bottom of the NL Central. The Pirates, meanwhile, have managed to stay just ah--

Hey. Wait a minute. Wait ... a minute.

What the heck is THIS??

The Pirates are where? They're what?

As of this morning (and the Blob still believes this might be Fake News), the Bucs are in first place in the Central. They've won seven of their last 10 games. And, at 12-7, they have the best record in the entire National League.

I'm sorry, but what?

Well. This just ruins everything.
