Sweep with Snell?

The Pirates are going for a four game sweep today? Does that seem right? Whether it seems right or not, it's what's happening today in Cincinnati. Kyle Lohse will attempt to prevent that from happening, and given how we've been hitting the ball, it seems to me like the Pirates should keep on piling the runs on for at least one more day.

Attempting to take home the sweep whether or not the Pirates score ten runs today is Ian Snell. He's given up four runs in his last two starts, which is pretty damn un-Snell-like given the way he started the season. It would be nice to see him get back on track today against the Reds, though it is worth noting that the Reds have scored 19 runs this series thus far and if we don't keep hitting, they probably will.

As for the Snell insult today, well Groucho Marx said this about someone and I don't know who, but it could've been Ian:
He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.
