Dodgers Series Pre-Preview : 5.9.11 - 5.12.11

I hope to get a full preview up tomorrow night but here is something to hold everyone (all 9 of you) over.  The reason for the abbreviated preview is that I dropped my computer and broke Amanda's flash drive, so not a whole lot of time to get a preview up before our kickball game (yeah, awesome) and Game 1 of the series.  So quickly, Thank God for winning 2 of 3 games against the NL Central basement dwellers in the Astros.  The Pirates were finally able to capitalize on an opportunity to beat a bad team, get to .500 and win at home, all things that they actually struggled to do last year and for that matter for the last 18 years.  The Pirates look to win another series at home and move above the .500 mark.  I think that that Pirates will be able to earn a split against the Dodgers with their most likely wins coming in Games 2 and 4 where Kevin Correia and Charlie Morton take the bump for the Buccos.  In my eyes, leaving Pittsburgh with a record of 19-19 would be considered somewhat of a success.  However, the Pirates next travel to Milwaukee where quite frankly, they suck, so the warm and fuzzy feeling people have from being over .500 may quickly go by the way side thanks to those douche's from Wisconsin.
