Pressure Is ON

There is a certain amount of pressure on the Pittsburgh Pirates this week. After the Steelers won the Super Bowl this January and the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, the Pirates will need to complete the championship china set in order to give Pittsburgh 3 of the 4 major league championships in 2009. It seems a little bit doubtful that the Pirates will get there, since they are stuck at second to last in the NL Central Division, at 3 games under .500. At the same time, they are only a few games separating them from the Brewers and Cardinals. This could be a big year for Pittsburgh and actually it already is. Surely the Pirates are feeling inspired by this, right?
