Cubs: Jake Arrieta trolling Pirates fans is ‘all in good fun’

PITTSBURGH – During the middle of this dream season, a reporter asked Jake Arrieta why he even bothers to go on social media: “I like to talk s--- to people.”

Hey, why stop now? The Cubs kept telling everyone “#WeAreGood” and they wound up with 97 wins and the third-best record in baseball.

Arrieta trolled Pittsburgh Pirates fans on Twitter, saying he wanted it “LOUD” on Wednesday night at PNC Park and telling them the blackout atmosphere “doesn’t matter” in the National League wild-card game.

Whatever helps keep your hope alive, just know, it doesn't matter.
