Pirates Trying To Avoid A Sweep


Hey All,

The Pittsburgh Pirates have had a tough time trying to beat the St. Louis Cardinals. They have lost the past 2 against the Cards and are facing a sweep this afternoon at PNC park. After last night embarrassing lost night 9-1 Pittsburgh will be looking to redeem themselves and pick up a win. The Bucs put Morton on the hill, who has a record of 8-5 and his ERA is 3.62 very close to his competitor on the hill for the Cards Lohse who is 8-7 with a ERA of 3.45. I think this is going to be a tough battle for the win tonight, but I think if the Pirates can pull off a win if they get the bats moving. The Cards have a reat pitching staff and their bats are really hot. With Pujols stronger than ever after coming back after his broken wrist, Morton will have be on top of his game. I can't wait to see if the Bucs can pull off a big win and close on in to the lead in the division once again.
