A very early gamethread

I have a wedding and such to go to today (not my own), so the gamethread's gotta go up early. Ted Lily and John Van Benschoten in this one with the Pirates hoping to keep a four game winning streak alive and maybe even get JVB his first win in almost three years at the major league level. The offense is really rolling at this point and I think if Jason Bay and Adam LaRoche every started hitting at the same time as Xavier Nady and Freddy Sanchez, we'd have a Minnesota Twins type day. Probably too much to hope for. I'll stick with hoping for maybe three of the four to click at once.
