Hot pitcher for the Pirates going with some hot home bats. Regardless of payrolls and personal opinion the Pirates are a better team right now, especially at home. Things will have to turn and go the other way for St. Louis to get of the deck. So far the team has not show the ability or the guts to fight, couple that with a hot pitcher going for the Pirates swinging some hot bats going against a pitcher in (suppan) that hasn't won since moby dick was a minnow. St. Louis didn't have what it took to muster it up when it counted...going to be even harder now that the season is over. St. Louis isn't use to just playing for pride. Pirates on the other hand have been in this same role since April.
Line says it all.
