Pirates Going for the Sweep

Hey All,

The Pittsburgh Pirates have not done well when going for the sweep of any team this year. With the Huston Astros in town, one of the worst teams in the majors, it's looking like the Bucco's might have it in them to pick up the sweep right before the All Star break. The Pirates two previous wins against the Astros has been by healthy margins, 5-3 in the first meeting and 5-1 in the second. With Chris Morton on the mound for the Bucco's, I feel that they have a good chance to pick up the sweep tonight at PNC park. Morton, with a 7-4 record coming into tonight's game, should be able to pick up another win against a relatively strong hitting team in the Huston Astros. I feel that the only reason for the poor season that the Astros are having is because simply they have no pitching. This will play well into the hands are the hot bats of the Pirates. Morton is very capable of putting away the Astros hitters, he just needs to go right at them like they have in the past two games. Hopefully for the Pirates that they can bring out the brooms tonight and "RAISE THE JOLLY ROGER!" Be looking for another post shortly after tonight's game.
