The Pirates have apparently sent season ticket holders information about playoff tickets.
Please note, the deadline for Postseason ticket payments for Full and Half season ticket holders is Friday, September 5 at 5 p.m.
The Bucs must send these things out on a schedule that doesn't have anything to do with how the team is doing -- which is understandable, but funny. The Pirates have cut their chances of going to the playoffs in half with their six-game losing streak this week.
Of course, their chances of making the postseason are still significant, so you can see why they'd need to be prepared. As badly as their week has gone, they're only a game and a half back of the Giants for the second Wild Card spot. It's their chances of winning the NL Central that have really taken a hit, since their losing has corresponded with a Brewers winning streak.
