Another sweep in Houston?

We're looking to sew our second sweep of the year in Minute Maid Park today, but we'll have to overcome Tony Armas to pull that off and let's face it, that's not terribly likely. Of course we will be matching up with Wandy Rodriguez today, so I guess anything is possible. According to Steeltown Mike in the comments below, we're already the only team in the league that's swept a series in Houston this year (how is THAT possible?) and we've got a shot at doing it for a second time today. The thing to expect in this one is about a million runs to cross the plate with Armas and Wandy on the mound in this one, so I think we're probably looking at a 2-1 pitcher's duel. The Pittsburgh Pirates, where up is down.
