    The long wait is over, Pittsburgh. Your Pirates are finally headed back to the postseason.

    After a 21-year absence, the Pirates clinched at least a National League wild card Monday night when they beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 and the Washington Nationals lost to St. Louis.

    Now, they can turn their attention toward bigger goals, the kind that seemed like nothing more than a pipe dream through all those losing seasons.

    It's good to have different teams in the MLB playoffs instead of "the usual suspects" year after year.
