Pittsburgh Pirates: The Movie II

Last year, one of the more popular articles in site history was Pittsburgh Pirates: The Movie. And since this is is the summer of sequels, that means the cast has been reuinted for another go-round. A few of the actors were able to stick around for the sequel (thanks again, Mr. Burns!), some were forced to move on due to a more-appropriate replacement (adios, Frankie Muniz!), and some are totally new (nice to meet ya, Dumb Donald!).

So sit back and enjoy Pittsburgh Pirates: The Movie II. It's more entertaining than anything the Pirates put on the field, and at their rate, they'll probably be producing full-length movies to distract you from the game any day now.
