An early gamethread!

Look at this, I'm actually going to get a gamethread posted (way) before a game starts! The Pirates go to Milwaukee and with the way things have been going for each team of late, the Pirates might be able to crush the Brewers hopes of going to the playoffs this weekend, which would be kind of sad (as you can imagine, writing about the Central for FanHouse has resulted in me learning a lot about the other teams in this division and I of like the Brewers). Tonight Yovani Gallardo (who's an exciting young pitcher that you should check out if you have nothing else to do on a Friday night) and Tony Armas go at it. With the way the Brewers' rotation has pitched and the Pirates' offense has hit lately, the Bucs might actually be able to score enough runs for Armas in this one. Maybe.
