Out West

The Pirates make what seems like their millionth trip out west this year to get their yearly series out in Arizona against the D'Backs in. The Diamondbacks are 13 games above .500 and in first place in what might be the best division in the NL this year despite actually being outscored by about thirty runs this year. That is a very strange happening indeed. Our Buccos head into this series having not played a game since Saturday night because of Sunday's rainout. That's pushed Tom Gorzelanny back even further after being skipped once in the rotation. I'm pretty nervous about Gorzo's start tonight, I'll be honest. If he gets hurt in a meaningless game at the end of this worthless season, well, I'll be pissed. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
