Can the ride continue?

As John Franco (we can only hope it's that John Franco) put it in a recent comment thread: The Pirates just don't seem to want anyone to make the playoffs. A win tonight clinches the LA series, something I never thought would happen in a million years. Our work is certainly cut out for us tonight, however, as BP Chacon will face off against Greg Maddux. Maddux has been phenominal since he arrived in LA (4-2, 3.07 ERA) while Chacon has been mediocre at best since arriving in Pittsburgh at the same time. Chacon is in fact coming off of his two longest starts of the year in black and gold and it seems that Jim Colborn is doing some decent work getting him turned around. The Bucs will also be facing a different Dodger team than last night. The team they played yesterday was still in shock from their amazing win the night before, the team they're playing tonight is embarassed that they lost their spot in first place by losing to the Pirates. Still, the young Buccos certainly seem to be relishing their role as spoilers. It should be another fun one tonight.
