Here at Bucs Dugout, we cover the Pirates, which means that when one of us recaps a game, we watch it with the Pirates in mind. The Pirates are the protagonists, their opponents the antagonists. For many years of Bucs Dugout's existence, this was a weird way to look at things, because a fan of any other team who happened to watch the Pirates play a baseball game would most likely have found the other team more interesting. The Pirates were the Washington Generals, and even some relatively anonymous opponent was the Globetrotters, almost by default.
That has changed in recent years, and we're all grateful.
