Who is insane Pirate bettor?!

Have been checking early mlb futures and noticed last night that Pirates were +5000 to win NL central at Pinny. Tonight I see they are +2425!
As a Pirate fan(yes I admit it) I want to know where such confidence in the Buccos came from. Serious bet to drop it like that. Still +5250 at olympic.

I think +5250 is a pretty good value. STL may be really down this year. I think Cubs take it, but that's just me. But 52 to 1? Stranger things have happened. Pitt did some nice things this summer. Might be a .500 club for once.

I agree. Some other early money certainly agrees.

Like Dusty's never made the playoffs? Come on now. Not a big fan, but they can win despite him.

D2, I won't be the one to argue. But still, having a team who has to win DESPITE its manager is a hard work.
I was talking with a friend about a baseball manager video game that is due to come out in a month, and we're both trying to figure out what exactly in game management will be like. His words were:
"You could probably do Dusty's favourite play, steal third with 1 out."

PS: He's a Cubs fan.
