Tim, Cheryl and Cheryl's sister are quickly becoming the stars of PNC Park.
The intrigue: A series of messages left on the Bucco Billboard at PNC Park over the last couple of weeks showcase an awkward romantic entanglement between a man, a woman and the woman's sister, and it's causing a buzz among Pirates fans.
💔 Catch up quick: On June 28, the Bucco Billboard in right field displayed a message reading, "Cheryl please take me back, I'm sorry I kissed ur sister. - Tim."
- On July 2, another message read, "Tim, Cheryl won't take my calls. Did you tell her something? - Her sis."
Context: The Bucco Billboard typically displays messages from Pirates fans in between innings, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, or even marriage proposals.
💠Ryan's thought bubble: The drama between Tim and Cheryl is most likely an elaborate prank, but fans and social media users are having fun with it either way.
What they're saying: "Like baseball, you simply cannot predict love," the Pirates told Axios.
State of play: The billboard fun is a change of pace for the Pirates this season, with blunders like the Bucco Bricks and a fired manager.
What's next: The Pirates don't play at PNC Park again until July 18, after the All-Star break.
- Maybe Tim, Cheryl and her sister have resolved the issue during the Pirates' extended road trip. Hopefully we will find out next week.
