I had no idea how postseason works for baseball. WTF is Wild Card Showdown? Is this the most ridiculous gimmick in major US sports? And I'm serious about this, WTF is Wild Card Showdown? Am I reading something incorrectly or do the two wild card teams really play a one game playoff against each other?! A team plays 162 games to get a chance at a ONE game playoff??? We can't at least make it a three game series? This is new this year.

And my Pirates viewing begins with a loss. 0-1 In three weeks I think I've actually watched the Pirates win 2 games. Probably about 5 or 6 losses. Maybe they can at least keep a winning record?

I can't watch anymore. It's getting ugly.

I'm fairly confident the Pirates will finish under 500.

The Pirates are in full collapse mode.

They are only 2.5 out of the second wildcard to play one game to decide if they get to HOST the next series. Not full collapse. Only 6 in a row...

Today is the day the Pirates fall under .500. No surprise.
I'm guessing they end up 3 games under .500.
I will argue that rather than being their best season in years, this is instead their worst, because it provided the most false hope.

I'm not sure how this is possible, and I somewhat doubt the accuracy of this statement, but apparently the Pirates had the best record in baseball for the combined June/July and the worst record for August/Sept (so far).

I just bought the MLB package for my Roku--gets you live streaming for every game. Yes, this pretty much seals it that the Pirates are gonna tank. This seems to correspond pretty well with the Pirates' collapse.

The Pirates are 6-20 in September. They may not win another game.

The A's improbable run this year has brought out one particular thing:
Jon Kruk and Dan Patrick really really hate Moneyball.
