I love when the Pirates play @ the Phillies because really the entire series we are playing with house money. If we lose 2 of 3, well we weren't suppose to win a series against the best team in their yard anyways. Buy if we somehow win 2 of 3, the Pirates have not only won an important series but have also stuck to our in state rivals, a team that most would consider to be far superior in talent. I am not sure how the series will play out, but one thing I am sure of is that this young group of Pirates does not have the word quit in their vocabulary. They will play hard every game and make the Phillies earn everything they get. Let's just hope that for one more weekend, heart outweighs talent.
Tonight Charlie "Halladay Lite" Morton goes up against Roy "Doc" Hallway. Charlie obviously doesn't have nearly the stats or stuff that Halladay does but now their delivery and pitches are identical. Tonights game should be the most difficult of the three to win so I am not expecting to much. However, the Phillies lineup doesn't scare me all that much so if Charlie can locate his tinker and spot his fastball and curve then he should pitch well. With all that being said I think Morton will pitch well but the Pirates hitters will struggle against Halladay. Phillies win 4-2. As always though, let's go Bucs!
