I know Pittsburghers aren’t the type to throw in the towel when the going gets tough, but I think it’s safe to say the Pirates might want to start thinking about next season. I dislike it as much as everyone else, but numbers don’t lie. The Pittsburgh Pirates are three games under .500 at 69-72, and six games out of the second Wild Card spot with only 21 games remaining in their season. I know it’s not impossible for the Bucs to sneak in, but having only won two of their last ten games, things are looking grim.
Still, there is hope.
