More Bucs and Marlins

Tonight is Paul Maholm and Scott Olsen. Maholm's been nice and OK in two of his last three starts, but he was mostly not very good at all before then. Olsen is another of the Marlins' youngsters that's been pitching very well this year, though he's run up big pitch counts early in his last two starts and hasn't gone more than 5 and 1/3 in either of them.

If you're looking for some in-game reading, I would recommend checking out The Onion's fantastic "PNC Park Threatens to Leave Pittsburgh Unless Better Team Is Built" (sent in by reader Matt) if you haven't yet (I'd imagine most internet savvy Pirate fans have). There's also Mondesi's House's Pittsburgh Sport Power Rankings, which I'd recommend checking out if you've got the time.
