Pirates Clinch First Playoff Berth Since 1992 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 24, 2013 1:19 pm

The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs on Monday night, clinching their first playoff berth since 1992 in the process.


They are ensured of one of the two National League Wild Card berths.


"Even though I didn't lose for the last 20 years, they make you feel like you are. You feel like you lost those 20 years," Andrew McCutchen said. "That's all you hear. You hear it every single day -- 'When's it going to change? You think this is the year?' You get sick and tired of hearing that. It's awesome that there won't be any questions anymore. The question is, 'Are we going to be able to go farther?'"


Pittsburgh players sang Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," and chanted, "MVP! MVP!" while surrounding McCutchen.
