Exciting news from the world of baseball today, and, no, it doesn't involve the thrill of turning on the radio right now and hearing the porch-swing summer sounds of actual live baseball.
The Toronto Blue Jays are apparently going to be the Pittsburgh Blue Jays (for now)!
Yes, the Blue Jays, barred from playing in Toronto this truncated season because the Canadians don't want to any crazy diseased Americans in their country, are expected to play most of their home games in Pittsburgh's PNC Park instead. So says ESPN, anyway.
As a long-suffering fan of my crummy Pittsburgh Pirates, PNC's permanent tenant, I can't wait.
After all, the Jays went 67-95 last year while my crummy Pirates went 69-93. The Jays wound up 36 games out of first in the AL East, and were saved from finishing last only by the epically horrific Baltimore Orioles; the Pirates finished 22 games out of first in the NL Central and did finish last, but only because the O's weren't in the NL Central.
You know what this means?
This means my crummy Pirates might not be the worst team to play in PNC Park this year.
Awesome.
