Pirates didn’t have a perfect weekend, but it went about as well as they could have hoped considering where they are in the wild card standings.
Now they need to capitalize on the little bit of momentum they created for themselves. A couple of weeks ago. I was ready to write the Pirates off. But given how the landscape has changed — and just how much other teams are banged up — I almost think it would be a huge disappointment if they aren’t one of the two wild card teams.
That’s the beauty of baseball. The season is so long, things can change quickly.
