The Pittsburgh Pirates started of their 2016 season in impressive fashioning sweeping division foe St. Louis. I personally was very impressed with all three of the buccos performances. I know a lot of people will say it is only the first 3 games of the year and to not think too much about them. However, considering how last year went every game against teams like St. Louis will be absolutely huge for the Pirates because I think the Central Division title will come down to the wire yet again this season.
The Pirates are in Cincinnati for a 3 game set with the Reds this weekend and hopefully they can continue to play well because beating up on the Brewers and Reds this season will be a necessity if the Pirates want to keep pace with the Cubs and Cardinals in arguably the best division in baseball.
Unfortunately the Pirates lost to the Reds yesterday afternoon, but everybody expected them to lose a game at some point as it is impossible to go a perfect 162-0! Still the Pirates had a very good start to the season compared to previous years. Your blog looks very nice by the way!
