Bring on the Phillies

Ahh, the Pirates run into the offense that's been baseball's buzzsaw the past couple months. It's amusing to me that the Cardinals, Cubs, and Brewers fight in the NL Central for a playoff spot while the Braves, Phillies, and Mets fight for the NL East spot and there's the potential that only one team from each division will make the playoffs. The talent level between each grouping of three teams isn't really comparable. Of course I would've said that last year too, and the Cards won the World Series. Anyways, JD Durbin and Tom Gorzelanny go at it tonight, which is certainly the most favorable pitching matchup the Pirates will get in the series. If they're going to win one this weekend, I think this one will be it.
