Keep on truckin'

There's only one explanation for what's been happening: the Pittsburgh Pirates are huuuuge Philadelphia Phillie fans. Normally, I'd be hesitant about helping out our cross state rivals (and I'd never say this about the Eagles or Flyers), but you know what, screw it. I want to see as much Ryan Howard as possible. Let's go Bucs.

Tonight Shane Youman (perhaps PB Youman since he's a mirror image of BP Chacon, the only real question is does he tilt his hat the other direction? This needs investigated...) takes the hill against Chad Billingsley. Billingsley did not pitch well in his last start and has a huge WHIP of 1.59 in his 15 starts this year. The Dodgers need this one bad, but the Pirates are playing like they need it too.
