Pittsburgh sports fans needed a little comedic relief on a day Steelers presumptive slot cornerback Senquez Golson was carted off the field at Saint Vincent College with another injury.
The Pirates provided it.
I can’t stop laughing.
Who saw this coming?
It seemed like just another routine trade deadline Monday for the Pirates even after word broke they had traded two players to be named for New York Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova. I yawned, although I have to admit I did the same thing last season when the Pirates traded for J.A. Happ. But I don’t expect Nova, who comes with a mediocre record and an expiring contract, to have a Happ-like impact even though he will step right into their lousy rotation.
