Pitching matchups
Friday: Carlos Zambrano(1-0, 2.25) v. Oliver Perez(0-2, 11.00)
Saturday: Greg Maddux(0-1, 7.20) v. Kip Wells(0-2, 8.03)
Sunday: Ryan Dempster(0-2, 6.52) v. Mark Redman(1-0, 1.50)

Hopefully, we can pull out 2 outy of 3. Redman should be a good bet to get one, and hopefully Wells or Perez can give a good outing too.

It's going to a hitters' day, unless both pitchers can turn around like Dempster did last start.
Anywa, I am ready for the series. Nothing's better than Big Z starting in the openner.

Couldn't pull it out today, sadly. Lloyd really needs to work on his use of the bullpen. Soloman pitching in all 3 games is a joke.

I went to game 1 and 2, and I can't say enough how great PNC is. 1 of 3 from the Cubs isn't that bad, and I thought we'd pull it out today.

1 out of 3 isn't that bad, and the game you won was the game with Zambrano pitching. That was unexpected. I thought Dempster would lose. Oh well, good job Pirates.
