You would have said I'm nuts.

I would have said you're insane.

I would have been more inclined to believe the Pirates part than the other two, to be honest.

Connor Griffin grounded out to shortstop, by the way.

That said, season's over.

Yeah, he's not making the roster.

No.

Do you?

Part of me does wonder if they're just going to hit a skid and fall off, but I've been saying that for a while now and it hasn't happened yet.

So they're certainly making believers out of even the most ardent naysayers because, again, they had that one stretch.

Remember where they blew all those leads and it felt like maybe that would be the point where the season got away from them?

It felt like it, yeah.

And they bounced back.

Yes, they did.

So I guess at this point, you'd be foolish not to start believing in them, whether or not that yields a playoff.

appearance we'll see, but I think they continue to show that, you know, without Crosby is going to be their biggest test all season now, but so far so good, obviously winning against New Jersey.

So I'm starting to believe that they're going to find some way to get to where they need to get into the postseason.

But if his reporting is accurate, it's mighty interesting, isn't it?

And he said maybe there's a scenario they take him in a second or even trade up back into the first.

There's a lot of teams that still need quarterbacks, and I don't know if you're going to see him taken in the top 10.
