Five Pirates Thoughts at Five-ish

I mean if the Pirates can take a week off offense, I can be a bit late with a weekly feature.

Series Preview – Toronto Blue Jays at Pittsburgh Pirates

Both these teams are reeling a bit and looking for a recovery series. Each team is 5-5 in their last ten. The Blue Jays coming off 5 straight losses, including a 4 game sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox, the Pirates on a 4 game losing streak and suffered their own sweep to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Hump Day Pirates Q&A

Pirates & Bryan Reynolds Reach New 8 Year Pact

Five Pirates Thoughts at Five
