If we win today, is it a sweep?

I think that's a fair question. If we win today, we'll have won three games in a row in San Francisco, then we'll be getting on a plane to fly to Pittsburgh to play two more against them. So does a win today finish the sweep? It's hard to call games that are played like 3,000 miles apart a "series" even if they involve the same two teams. Personally, I think these are two separate series and I'm calling "sweep" if we pull this one out today. And you should all be happy WHYGAVS exists ... to tackle hard hitting questions just like that one.

Anyways, the pitching matchup today is a pretty interesting one. Tom Gorzelanny takes the mound for his second start since having some time off and if he's as good as he was in his first start, the Giants are going to be in some trouble today. The Giants counter with Barry Zito, who's been pretty disappointing for them this year, especially given his massive contract. Question: what's the cure for what ails disappointing, underachieving pitchers? Answer: the Pittsburgh Pirates.
