Well, it’s finally happened. Hell has frozen over. Pigs are flying. The Pittsburgh Pirates swept the Milwaukee Brewers in a 4-game series at Miller Park. Objectively speaking, we shouldn’t really be surprised. The Brewers are bad, and the Pirates are pretty good. But when you take into account the Pirates horrifying record in Milwaukee over the years, this weekend’s sweep comes as a pleasant surprise and a shot in the arm to a struggling Buccos team hoping to make the postseason.
The celebrations need to be short-lived, however. Now, the Pirates head to Wrigley Field for a three-game road series against the Chicago Cubs.
