Pirates and the Playoffs
The Pirates have finally clinched a winning season. Congratulations to the buccos! With 18 games left in the regular season, the Pirates still have a good chance at winning the NL Central division. The play-offs seem to be a certainty with the two top teams chosen as wildcards from each league.
The Pirates
Tuesday, the Pirates defeated the Brewers, 4-3, for their 81st win of the year. The victory, ensuring the club of its first non-losing season since 1992, improved Pittsburgh's overall record to 81-57.

The Pirates have been playing like winners and will likely make...Click for full post
