Rocket and the Rookie

Tonight's storyline more or less writes itself for Pirate fans. Tom Gorzellany has been very good in his last three starts in black and gold. He faces off against Roger Clemens who has been very good for the better part of the last 23 years. Last fall we got a glimpse of what young Ian Snell was capable of when he dominated the Astros for 8 shutout innings against Clemens. We know what Gorzellany can do but doing it against Clemens (and against a team that isn't the Cubs) is certainly something I'd like to see. The Pirates are trying to end a four game losing streak, which doesn't really seem all that long when you consider we're 30 games under .500 at this point.
