Crunch Time

With the MLB post season right down the corner and the race for the AL east, NL west and NL wild card up for grabs should make it interesting as the season come to an end. The NY Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays seem to be battling it out for the home field rights but don't count out either of them because the team who doesn't finish on top will obviously get the wild card. In the NL the race for the NL West gets interesting every day. With San Diego Padres leading as of today and the San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies trailing closely behind should get interesting as some key division match ups are to come up later in the week. This could make it or break it for a few teams. On the other hand another race that many aren't talking about is the race for the worst team in the MLB. The hometown Pittsburgh Pirates which started off hot and everyone hoped they would finish 500 for the first time in a while have yet again approached the end of the season with worst record in the league and are 32 games behind the closest playoff spot. If they can somehow come up with a winning streak to end the season, they might end up second to last and on their way to a good start next season. in the end which ever race you plan on watching know deep down that the Pirates are on their way to the top.
