Pirates Edge Cubs, Clinch 1st Playoff Berth Since 1992

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.

Was at this game and man that Foul ball looked like a home run from where I was sitting

 

Good for them! They're fun to watch.

 

Rooting for the pirates all the way.

 

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

 

Go reds

 

Yep, the pirates are a great story. Would love to see them beat the powerhouses cards, braves, and/or dodgers.

 

this pirates season is a great story. i hope they go far in the playoffs.
