Stopper Shane?

I'm headed to the park tonight, weather permitting, to hopefully see Shane Youman stop this ugly skid the Pirates are on right now. Youman hasn't been terribly impressive in his two starts with us, but he has managed to win both of them and that's more than most of the rotation is doing right now. He's certainly been more encouraging than John Van Benschoten has to this point this year. The Rockies will counter with old friend Josh Fogg tonight. Fogg's been pretty terrible this year, but he seems like just the type of pitcher that's dominated us this year. I'm certainly almost expecting to see some old school Josh Fogg (not that old school Josh Fogg was that good) tonight at PNC Park tonight.
